Programmable crack dynamics engineering enables flexible strain sensors with high linearity

FlexMat, EarlyView.
First‐decoupling theoretical framework of crack evolution elucidating the control methods, mechanistic insights, and structure‐activity relationships is established. Crack propagation from uncontrollable randomness systematically evolves into spatially ordered states.

From hydrogels to eutectogels: Emerging platforms for stretchable electronics

FlexMat, EarlyView.
The transition of wearable electronics toward long‐term reliability requires materials that resist dehydration without sacrificing tissue‐like softness and ionic conductivity. Eutectogels fulfill these demands by immobilizing deep eutectic solvents within tailored polymer networks.

Self‐Driven Hybrid Piezomagnetic–Iontronic Mechanoreceptors for Bimodal SA/RA Perception and Tactile Synthesis

Small, EarlyView.
A bimodal mechanoreceptor, integrating a piezomagnetic elastomer and an ion gel, simultaneously and independently transduces external mechanical stimuli into independent slow‐adapting signals for static pressure and rapid‐adapting signals for dynamic vibration.

APPLICATION OF ALTERNATIVE ENERGIES IN THE AUSTRALIAN OFFSHORE SECTOR [PDF]

Journal of Engineering Science and Technology, 2016
Fossil fuel is not practically renewable and therefore the world is at risk of fossil fuel depletion. This gives urgency to investigate alternative energies, especially for industries that rely entirely on energies for operations, such as offshore ...

Characterization of the Pore Environments in Covalent Organic Frameworks by Dynamic Spin Probe Exchange

Small, EarlyView.
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with alkyl or triethylene glycol pore linings are probed with water‐dissolved nitroxide radicals using CW EPR spectroscopy. Adsorption affinity, local polarity, and radical concentration inside the pores are quantified, revealing hydrogen bonding, dipolar, and π‐π interactions that govern guest binding, which ...

Partial homologies between sleep states in lizards, mammals, and birds suggest a complex evolution of sleep states in amniotes.

PLoS Biology, 2018
It is crucial to determine whether rapid eye movement (REM) sleep and slow-wave sleep (SWS) (or non-REM sleep), identified in most mammals and birds, also exist in lizards, as they share a common ancestor with these groups.

An Outline of a Theory of Play

Symbolic Interaction, EarlyView.
Play is often dismissed as trivial, yet it is a fundamental and adaptive aspect of human and mammalian life. This paper develops a sociological theory of play, treating it as a total social fact that spans biological, psychological, and social dimensions.
