Monolithic UV‐Laser Programming of Photothermally Meta‐Morphing SMA Structures: Dual‐Encoded Kirigami Mechanics and Photonic Absorbance

ABSTRACT Photothermal shape memory alloys (SMAs) offer a promising pathway toward wireless soft robotic systems, yet their practical implementation remains limited by reliance on heterogeneous coatings and multistep processing to achieve su...

A Two-Dimensional Sequential Packing Method for Lunar Regolith Particles Based on Random Polygons

To accurately characterize the effects of polydisperse particle sizes, multimineral composition, and angular morphology on the packing structure of lunar regolith, a two-dimensional sequential packing method based on random convex octagons ...

A Novel Bird-Shape Broadband Piezoelectric Energy Harvester for Low Frequency Vibrations

This work presents a novel bird-shaped broadband piezoelectric energy harvester based on a two-DOF crossed beam for low-frequency environmental vibrations. The harvester features a cantilever mounted on a double-hinged beam, whose rotating ...

Dissipation Alters Modes of Information Encoding in Small Quantum Reservoirs near Criticality

Quantum reservoir computing (QRC) has emerged as a promising paradigm for harnessing near-term quantum devices to tackle temporal machine learning tasks. Yet, identifying the mechanisms that underlie enhanced performance remains challenging...
