Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Stacked nanoflake assembly (SNA) membranes can oscillate autonomously, offering opportunities for soft actuation and energy harvesting. This work uncovers the physical mechanism behind the sustained oscillation of SNA membranes in gradient humidity and identifies three governing dimensionless parameters, enabling rational design for optimizing SNA ...

Electrically Tunable Heliconical Smectic Superstructure in Polar Fluids
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Strong dipole–dipole interactions give rise to an emergent polar smectic phase with spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking. This resulting polar heliconical smectic superstructure enables novel functionalities in polar fluids, such as color modulation driven by electric field strength and frequency, as well as second‐harmonic generation amplification ...

Above Room Temperature Ferroelectricity in Epitaxially Strained KTaO3
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Through precise epitaxial engineering, the cubic and paraelectric KTaO3${\rm KTaO}_3$ is transformed into a robust ferroelectric. By leveraging lattice‐mismatched substrates to apply controlled epitaxial strain, a stable ferroelectric ground‐state is achieved with a transition temperature as high as 475 K, establishing KTaO3${\rm KTaO}_3$ as a highly ...

Soft Skins With Reversible Thickness Morphing: Materials, Mechanisms, and Applications
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Evolution of electronic skin (e‐skin) technologies toward adaptive, multifunctional soft skins. Phase I highlights early rigid and discrete sensory interfaces. Phase II shows the transition toward flexible, stretchable, and large‐area e‐skin. Phase III captures the emergence of computational e‐skin.

The behaviour of laterally loaded two-pile groups [PDF]
, 1992 The response of piles and two-pile groups to lateral loading has been studied by field tests and computationally. Due to the lack of field test data and because of uncertainty concerning the pile/soil system it has been suggested that further ...

Rail on Linear Stochastics Supports
Engineering Transactions, 1995 The field tests revealed that the vertical rail deflection under various service conditions is of a random character. The static linear rail response under vertical wheel load P = 1 kN the rail deflection and the bending moments of the rail are ...

INTERPOLATION OF DEFLECTION OF THE VERTICAL BASED ON GRAVITY GRADIENTS [PDF]
, 1993 In this paper, the significance of interpolation of deflection of the vertical by means of tor- sion balance measurements is pointed out, followed by outlining its fundamentals.

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.We present elastomeric three‐dimensional (3D) microstructures fabricated via two‐photon polymerization (2PP) and post‐processed through wet etching, for quantifying nanonewton (nN)‐scale forces applied by healthy and diseased neural cells. The mechanically characterized free‐standing beam architectures enable measurement of traction forces of ...
