Topological Self-Locking of Hyperbranched Poly(ionic liquid)s for Impact-Stiffening Ionic Skins

Abstract Impact-stiffening ionic skins are highly promising for bioelectronics due to their unique ability to maintain ambient softness and ionic conductivity while instantly hardening upon impact. However, the intrinsically low entropy penalty of ionic bonds typically restricts...

Hydro‐ and Lipophilicity of Molecular‐Size‐Controlled Hydrogel Drug Carriers

ABSTRACT Nano‐sized hydrogel drug carriers with tailored hydro‐ and lipophilicity are designed and their encapsulation and structure‐forming capabilities investigated in real‐time. These nano‐carriers are built from cellulose and peptide hydrogels in tandem with a nano‐stacked in...

Mapping structural heterogeneity in three-dimensional biophotonic gyroid networks using position-resolved small-angle X-ray scattering

Abstract The wings of select Papilionid and Lycaenid butterflies contain a three-dimensional gyroid network of a solid cuticle phase in air. In butterfly scales, gyroid networks are optically interesting, as they create the green colour observed in the wings of these butterflies....

GeoHash3D: Robust and Efficient 6-DoF Pose Estimation from 3D Marker Sets

Accurately measuring the six degrees of freedom (6-DoF) pose of a sample is a critical prerequisite for applications in robotic sample handling, optical metrology, and industrial quality control. Our pose estimation problem requires matching a small, partial observation of 4–20 d...
