Since discovered in 1897, the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has surfaced as an excellent model organism for medical and genetic research. The worm propels itself through viscous-dominated creeping flows via undulatory […]
Micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) composed of magnetostrictive and piezoelectric materials can translate information between the electrical and magnetic domains while exploiting mechanical resonance enhancement. Multiferroic MEMS devices such as these can […]
The promise of bipedal robots is to go where people go, serving as surrogates for human labor in dangerous, unstructured environments. For the most part, this promise remains unrealized. The […]
Abstract: The transcription factor c-MYC (MYC) is a master regulator of gene expression and is frequently deregulated in human cancers. Despite the prevalent role of MYC in cancers, no MYC […]
Abstract: Highly loaded, polymer-infiltrated nanoparticle films (PINFs) enable the synergistic combination of polymers with the functionality of nanoscale fillers. Extensive studies have found that their behavior deviates markedly from bulk […]
Metasurfaces are artificial materials composed of sub-wavelength building blocks whose size, shape, periodicity and composition are tailored to engineer their optical response and achieve arbitrary control of their interactions with […]
Optical metasurfaces enable strong light–matter interactions, making them ideal platforms for high–figure-of-merit (FOM) sensing. When fabricated from colloidal nanocrystal dispersions, these metasurfaces offer unique advantages in fabrication flexibility, reconfigurability, and […]
As the adoption of large-scale learning for control continues to grow, developing sample-efficient algorithms has become critical. Yet, even in simple settings, algorithms achieving optimal sample complexity for specific problem […]
Modern robots embody power and precision control, yet as robots undertake tasks that apply forces on humans this power brings risk of injury. Soft robotic actuators use deformation to produce […]
