Neuromorphic Light‐Responsive Organic Matter for in Materia Reservoir Computing
In this work we show that light‐responsive adaptive organic matter can store and process information at the matter level, and emulate neuromorphic functionalities such as short term memory, long term memory and visual memory. Besides demonstrating that material dynamics can be exploited for spatio‐temporal event detection and motion perception, we show

Motion of Wavefronts in Semiconductor Superlattices [PDF]
An analysis of wavefront motion in weakly coupled doped semiconductor superlattices is presented. If a dimensionless doping is sufficiently large, the superlattice behaves as a discrete system presenting front propagation failure and the wavefronts can be described near the threshold currents $J_i$ ($i=1,2$) at which they depin and move.

Advancement in Colloidal Metasurfaces: Approaches for Scalable Photonic Devices
This perspective explores colloidal metasurfaces composed of plasmonic and emitting nanoparticles assembled by laser interference lithography and template‐assisted self‐assembly methods. Precise design strategies achieve directional emission, low‐threshold lasing, and tunable photonic bandgaps.

Wavefront singularities associated with the conical point in elastic solids with cubic symmetry [PDF]
The wavefronts from a point source in a solid with cubic symmetry are examined with particular attention paid to the contribution from the conical points of the slowness surface. An asymptotic solution is developed that is uniform across the edge of the cone in real space, the interior of which contains the plane lid wavefront analyzed by Burridge ...

Transforming Room Acoustics with Causality‐Driven Dual‐Function Passive Metamaterials
This work presents an dual acoustic metamaterial for rooms that achieves excellent broadband performance for both sound absorption and sound diffusion. This is done by using causality formulations linking the absorption of the passive system to its volume, yielding an optimal surface area ratio required for excellent sound absorption and while ...

Rebuilding ships while at sea—Character individuality, homology, and evolutionary innovation
Building on a previous account of evolutionary innovation, I propose here that evolutionary novelties are those individualized characters that are not homologous to any characters in the ancestor. Integrating functional and structural perspectives, I argue that functional as well as structural considerations are important for character ...

MORPHOLOGICAL DESCRIPTIONS USING THREE-DIMENSIONAL WAVEFRONTS
The present study deals with the analysis of three-dimensional binary objects whose structure is not obvious nor generally clearly visible. Our approach is illustrated through three examples taken from biological microscopy.

Wavefront Reconstruction of Shack-Hartmann with Under-Sampling of Sub-Apertures
Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor plays a key role in adaptive optics (AO) systems, which detect the aberrant wavefront by an array of micro-lenslets across the aperture pupil.

Numerical estimation of the curvature of a light wavefront in a weak gravitational field [PDF]
The geometry of a light wavefront evolving in the 3--space associated with a post-Newtonian relativistic spacetime from a flat wavefront is studied numerically by means of the ray tracing method. For a discretization of the bidimensional wavefront the surface fitting technique is used to determine the curvature of this surface at each vertex of the ...

Spin-controlled wavefront shaping with plasmonic chiral geometric metasurfaces
Metasurfaces, as a two-dimensional (2D) version of metamaterials, have drawn considerable attention for their revolutionary capability in manipulating the amplitude, phase, and polarization of light.
