This paper presents a robust single-element tactile sensor utilizing a magneto-mechanical mechanism to simultaneously detect pressure and tackiness with real-time signal decoupling, thereby overcoming cross-talk and stability challenges in artificial skin applications.
This paper presents a low-cost, physics-driven digital toolkit that generates large volumes of realistic, noisy Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) images by simulating clean atomic structures and adding physically informed artifacts, thereby enabling the training of superior supervised denoising models that outperform unsupervised methods in preserving critical physical features like electron waves and defects.
This paper extends thermodynamic dislocation theory to arbitrary macroscopically uniform stress and strain states by deriving an associated flow theory from first principles, which successfully unifies the description of copper's tension, compression, and torsion responses across a wide range of temperatures and strain rates using a single set of material parameters.
This study establishes the mean polar-domain volume as a unified molecular-scale descriptor that quantitatively predicts the macroscopic viscosity and ionic conductivity of diverse imidazolium-based ionic liquids through systematic power-law scaling, thereby linking their nanoscale structural organization to collective transport properties.
This study synthesizes NASICON pellets via solid-state methods, converts them into nanofilms using sputtering, and investigates the effects of 1.1 MeV Ni-ion implantation on their electrical properties through electrochemical impedance spectroscopy.
This paper proposes "orientation engineering" as a universal strategy to unlock unprecedented functionalities in common ferroelectrics, specifically enabling exotic behaviors like trans-switching and ferrielectricity through controlled film growth directions and electrode screening.
This paper demonstrates that Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) of MgZnO multilayers enables the simultaneous and independent tuning of secondary electron yield and electrical conductivity, offering a novel strategy to mitigate multipacting in vacuum RF systems through rational surface design.
The paper introduces DeepH-GW, a deep-learning framework that predicts accurate, linear-scaling GW quasiparticle Hamiltonians directly from atomic structures, enabling large-scale many-body excited-state simulations with few-meV precision and strong cross-scale transferability.
This paper demonstrates a self-adaptive solid-state power generation system that achieves 24-hour operation by integrating thermoelectric generators with a tunable radiative coating that autonomously switches between high solar absorptivity for daytime heating and high infrared emissivity for nighttime cooling via a temperature-driven VO2 phase transition, thereby outperforming conventional black absorbers in both day and night power output.
This study investigates the magnetic and transport properties of single-crystalline CeGe, revealing an antiferromagnetic transition at 7.3 K, a metamagnetic transition with an intrinsic anomalous Hall effect under magnetic fields, and evidence of an antiferromagnetic quantum critical point near 10.2 GPa under hydrostatic pressure.
