Pressure-gated flexible nanofluidic memristor based on a probe-punctured PDMS membrane

A flexible nanofluidic memristor is demonstrated based on a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) membrane containing a single nanopore formed by probe puncturing and controlled by external pressure. A PDMS prepolymer with a base-to-curing agent ratio of 10:1 is cast and cured into a thin,...

Real‐Time Arbitrary Multi‐Bit Phase Manipulation Based on 2‐Bit Digital Spoof Surface Plasmon Polaritons with 360° Phase Coverage

ABSTRACT As a core enabling technology in modern information systems, digital phase manipulation is urgently required to deliver higher phase‐shifting accuracy and enable flexible adjustment of the modulation order. However, conventional digital phase shifters provide fixed phase...

Sulfur Cathode Design for Practical Lithium–Sulfur Batteries

Lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries are promising candidates for energy storage owing to their high theoretical energy density and low cost. However, challenges remain due to inherent issues such as sluggish redox kinetics and the severe polysulfide shuttle effect of the sulfur catho...

Photonic-crystal hydraulic manometry quantifies epithelial basal compression for rapid, label-free functional screening

Polarized epithelia integrate barrier sealing, vectorial ion-water transport, and cytoskeletal mechanics, yet scalable assays that report this coupled functional state in real time remain limited. Here, we introduce photonic-crystal hydraulic manometry (PCHM), which quantifies ou...

Assessing the Relative Climate Mitigation Effects of Energy Efficiency, Conventional Energy, and Environmental Taxes in Australia: Evidence from a Dynamic ARDL Model

Energy efficiency (EE) is integral to a sustainable energy system and can play a significant role in climate mitigation by reducing energy consumption and the adverse effects of climate change. This paper examines the association between CO2 emissions, EE, environmentally related...

Rapid general electromagnetic analysis of metallic surfaces via conformal energy minimization

We recently found that the electromagnetic scattering problem can be solved efficiently using an approach that expresses the fields in terms of a set of orthonormal basis functions. In this paper, we apply computational conformal geometry with the conformal energy minimization (C...

A unified mechano-ionic skin for resolving native electromechanical coupling

The beat-to-beat electromechanical coupling between cardiac excitation and arterial pulse propagation encodes vital cardiovascular insights, but resolving this coherence in wearables is hindered by the spatial decoupling of sensors and attenuated epidermal signals. Here, we repor...

Broyden quasi-Newton-based parameter measurement method for thyristor-level components in converter valves without wire disconnection

To address the heavy workload of wire disconnection and reconnection, the measurement errors caused by external-circuit shunting, and the difficulty of obtaining specific component parameters using the comprehensive impedance method in field testing of damping and voltage-balanci...

Intelligent Programmable Metasurfaces for Robust Spatiotemporal 3D Human Pose Estimation

ABSTRACT Programmable metasurfaces (PMs) provide a compelling platform for human sensing under conditions where vision‐based methods fail. However, conventional metasurface sensing relies exclusively on electromagnetic scattering data captured at the isolated and current time ins...

XrayCLIP: A VLM-Based X-Ray Security Inspection System for Railway Safety

STGFormer: Spatio-Temporal Graph Transformer for Traffic Flow Prediction in Sparse-Sensing Scenarios

With the continuous improvement in intelligent transportation and data perception levels, determining how to achieve high-precision and generalizable traffic flow prediction based on historical traffic data has become an important issue in intelligent highway management. The Tran...

Salt‐Controlled Multistep Phase Separation in Hydroxypropyl Cellulose Colloids for Sustainable Adhesives

ABSTRACT Phase separation is an evergreen subject that shapes our understanding of how order and functionality emerge from disordered complex soft matter systems. Here, we report on the salt‐regulated transition from isotropic liquid‐liquid phase separation to anisotropic liquid‐...

Explicit task reasoning empowering robotic manipulation

Currently, robots still struggle to perform human-like explicit task reasoning. Most existing vision-language-action (VLA) approaches heavily rely on large-scale demonstration datasets and carefully designed models, which pose significant challenges for model interpretability, ge...
