High Energy Photon Induced Defect Engineering in Ultra‐Thin Indium Oxide Transistors for BEOL‐Compatible Logic Circuits

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Xenon flash lamp annealing modulates oxygen‐vacancy states in 1‐nm‐thick ALD In2O3 transistors within a single 139 µs pulse. The photon‐induced defect engineering shifts the threshold voltage, improves bias‐stress stability, and narrows device‐to‐device variation across 64 devices. Combining pristine and treated transistors yields NMOS inverters with a

The water vapour flux above Switzerland and its role in the August 2005 extreme precipitation and flooding

Meteorologische Zeitschrift, 2013
The water budget approach is applied to an atmospheric box above Switzerland (hereafter referred to as the “Swiss box”) to quantify the atmospheric water vapour flux using ECMWF ERA-Interim reanalyses.

Highly Conductive and Transparent Coatings via Low‐Temperature Hydroiodic Acid Vapor Treatment of Oxo‐Graphene Thin Films

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
The double self‐assembly (DSA) method applied to oxo‐graphene (oxo‐G) flakes followed by hydroiodic acid (HI) vapor treatment and low‐temperature annealing yields highly conductive, optically transparent thin films with the potential for applications in electronic and optoelectronic devices.

Urban Ecohydrology: Accounting for Sub‐Grid Lateral Water and Energy Transfers in a Land Surface Model

Water Resources Research
Although urbanization fundamentally alters water and energy cycles, contemporary land surface models (LSMs) often do not include key urban vegetation processes that serve to transfer water and energy laterally across heterogeneous urban land types. Urban

Effects of Xerophytic Vegetation-Salix on Soil Water Redistribution in Semiarid Region

Agronomy
Xerophytic vegetation re-regulates and allocates water resources through canopy interception, root water uptake and transpiration, and changes the water budget among precipitation, runoff, interception and infiltration, thus having a significant impact ...

Bio‐Inspired Object Retrieval via Proximity‐Guided Adaptive Thigmotactic Exploration and Neuromorphic Recognition

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Sparse active‐infrared proximity sensing is coupled to an adaptive thigmotactic controller for camera‐inaccessible object retrieval. After grasping, receptor‐informed encoding transforms force, temperature, and wrist force–torque signals into spike trains for spiking neural network recognition.

Enhancing Amphibious Flipper‐Based Locomotion Through Terrain‐Dependent Bayesian Optimization of Central Pattern Generator Control

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A sea turtle‐inspired amphibious robot uses simulation‐guided optimization to adapt its flipper coordination to different environments. Sensitivity analysis and multiobjective Bayesian optimization identify terrain‐dependent controllers that are validated on hardware.
