When Cellulose Moves: Smart Sensors and Actuators

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This review highlights cellulose‐derived soft actuators alongside with cellulose‐based sensors. Emphasis is placed on their integration into multifunctional devices that couple sensing and actuation to mimic natural motion and adaptability. We also discuss the challenges of achieving robust, reversible, and multi‐stimuli‐responsive motion, and outline ...

A Modular Microfluidic System to Generate Gradient Hydrogels with Simple‐to‐Complex Stiffness Profiles for Mechanobiology

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This work introduces a universal approach for fabricating stiffness gradient hydrogels with diverse stiffness ranges and gradient profiles. Gradient formation is achieved by precisely controlling the thermal landscape within a microfluidic system, which drives thermophoretic redistribution of precursor components in solution.

Understanding and Circumventing Failure Mechanisms in Chalcogenide Optical Phase Change Material Ge2Sb2Se4Te

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, Volume 13, Issue 8, March 13, 2025.
Chalcogenide optical PCMs have gathered interest for their potential in compact, non‐volatile optics and photonics. Free‐space PCM metasurfaces require new considerations from phase change memory that need to be addressed for reliable scale‐up. Several failure mechanisms pertaining to free‐space PCM devices and layout methods are isolated to prevent ...

Exploring Double NDR Modulation and UV‐NIR Photodetection in MoS2/Sb2Se3 Heterostructures

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
In this study, a van der Waals Sb2Se3/MoS2 heterostructure exhibits dual negative differential resistance (NDR) peaks at room temperature. The first originates from band‐to‐band tunneling, while the second, triggered under laser illumination, is attributed to trap states and recombination dynamics.

Cloaking and Antennas: From Theoretical Paradigms to Next‐Generation Intelligent Systems

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
The inception of electromagnetic cloaking sparked an immediate question: Can antennas be made invisible? Two decades later, this review charts the intertwined progress of major cloaking strategies (from transformation optics to scattering cancellation), metasurface technology, and their application to antennas, revealing how AI‐enabled devices are ...

Taylor-Made Volatility Swaps [PDF]

open access: possibleSSRN Electronic Journal, 2015
Using little else than the mixing formula and Taylor expansions we show that the volatility swap strike is approximately the implied volatility corresponding to the strike where the vanna and vomma of a vanilla option is zero. As this result does not require any heavy numerical computations, and is valid for a large class of stochastic volatility ...

GARCH and Volatility swaps

Quantitative Finance, 2004
This article discusses the valuation and hedging of volatility swaps within the frame of a GARCH(1,1) stochastic volatility model. First we use a general and flexible partial differential equation (PDE) approach to determine the first two moments of the realized variance in a continuous or discrete context.

On the valuation of variance swaps with stochastic volatility

Applied Mathematics and Computation, 2008
Abstract This paper is an extension to a recent paper by Zhu and Lian (2011) [1] , in which a closed-form exact solution was presented for the price of variance swaps with a particular definition of the realized variance. Here, we further demonstrate that our approach is quite versatile and can be used for other definitions of the realized variance ...
