Artificially Weaved Textile‐like Surface Micromachined Graphene‐Polymer Flexible Bioelectrodes

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This study reports on the engineering of microscale textured surfaces of SU‐8/PMMA polymer composites much like a “weft‐warp” pattern to resemble “artificially‐weaved” textiles. These microstructured surfaces enable conformal layering of functional reduced graphene oxide (rGO), all‐in‐all offering favorable features including remarkable self ...

Self‐Assembling Cracks to Fabricate Antireflective Antifogging Metasurfaces

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
A multifunctional optical device combining antireflective and photothermal antifogging properties is developed by leveraging crack formation in colloidal films. Plasmonic nanoparticle arrays enable localized heating under illumination, while a mesoporous silica coating provides antireflection and water repellency.

Springboard, Roadblock or "Crutch"?: How Transgender Users Leverage Voice Changers for Gender Presentation in Social Virtual Reality [PDF]

open access: yesIEEE VR 2024
Social virtual reality (VR) serves as a vital platform for transgender individuals to explore their identities through avatars and foster personal connections within online communities. However, it presents a challenge: the disconnect between avatar embodiment and voice representation, often leading to misgendering and harassment.

Maximal mouth opening in infants and toddlers with spinal muscular atrophy: a prospective controlled study

open access: yesOrphanet Journal of Rare Diseases
Background Bulbar function is frequently impaired in patients with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). Although extremely important for the patient’s quality of life, it is difficult to address therapeutically. Due to bulbar dysfunction, maximum mouth opening

From Speech to Data: Unraveling Google's Use of Voice Data for User Profiling [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Smart home voice assistants enable users to conveniently interact with IoT devices and perform Internet searches; however, they also collect the voice input that can carry sensitive personal information about users. Previous papers investigated how information inferred from the contents of users' voice commands are shared or leaked for tracking and ...
