High‐Performance Bio‐Glue From the Berries of a Parasitic Plant
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.We report a fully bio‐based adhesive derived primarily from a (poly)saccharide extract obtained from the berries of the hemi‐parasitic plant mistletoe (Viscum album), supplemented with tannic and malic acid without any further chemical functionalization.

Multilayered Digital Microfluidic Chip for Cell‐Based Assays
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.A multilayered digital microfluidic (mDMF) chip architecture is introduced to improve throughput and robustness in cell‐based assays. By multilayering electrode components and dielectric layers on glass, this design significantly reduces actuation voltage, maintains reliability, and enables expansion of the operational area with minimum current leakage.

It’s about Time: Film, Video Games, and the Advancement of an Artform
Philosophies, 2019 Jon Robson and Aaron Meskin have argued that the insights obtained through the philosophical analysis of video games is not specific to video games, but to a larger class of artistic creations they term Self-Involving Interactive Fictions, or SIIFs.

In Situ Change in Contact Angle of a Sessile Droplet on a Magnetoactive Elastomer
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.Contact angles of persistent μL$\mu{\rm L}$‐sized water droplets on a mechanically soft MAE surface under time varying magnetic fields differ from those of newly deposited droplets. The ability to quickly alter the material properties allows one to observe intriguing droplet‐material interactions.

Video Games and the Training of Sociality: A Survey of Video Game Players
DiGRA Digital Library, 2007 In the academic research field, attempts to use video games to enhance diverse characteristics of sociality have just started. Therefore it is expected that consumer games would also enhance the sociality. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether any features or devices, which enhance sociality, are included in the commercially circulated ...

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Coaxial melt electrowriting is established to produce dual‐property microfibers with diameters spanning 1.6–29.2 µm. Stable coaxial laminar flow is preserved under electrohydrodynamic thinning, enabling controlled binary and gradient material switching within individual continuous fibers.

Is it only a game? Video games and violence [PDF]
Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization, 2019 Popular media often links violent video games to real-life violence, although there is limited evidence to support this link. I analyze how adolescent boys’ violent behavior is affected by the releases of new violent video games in the U.S. Variation in children’s exposure to the releases comes from variation in video game release and interview dates ...

Continual Learning for Multimodal Data Fusion of a Soft Gripper
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Models trained on a single data modality often struggle to generalize when exposed to a different modality. This work introduces a continual learning algorithm capable of incrementally learning different data modalities by leveraging both class‐incremental and domain‐incremental learning scenarios in an artificial environment where labeled data is ...

The Soulsification of video games
Multimedia Tools and ApplicationsAbstract The Soulsification process emerged during video game development and it influenced both player experience and industry practices. This phenomenon began to manifest following the commercial success of early Souls games such as Demon’s Souls and Dark Souls, which are renowned for their punishing gameplay difficulty, complex level ...
