Second-harmonic generation (SHG) and other second-order nonlinear processes do not occur in bulk gold due
to its centrosymmetric crystal structure. However, the centrosymmetry is broken at the surface, giving rise to
non-zero surface susceptibility tensor ...
Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) vibrational spectroscopy is widely used for the analysis of both protein and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) secondary structures, being one of the most sensitive vibrational methods to changes in molecular structure. Despite ...
Control design for robotic systems is complex and often requires solving an optimization to follow a trajectory accurately. Online optimization approaches like Model Predictive Control (MPC) have been shown to achieve great tracking performance, but requir ...
Knowledge-based approaches use the statistics collected from protein data-bank structures to estimate effective interaction potentials between amino acid pairs. Empirical relations are typically employed that are based on the crucial choice of a reference ...
An assembly refers to a collection of parts joined together to achieve a specific form and/or functionality. Designing assemblies is a non-trivial task as a slight local modification on a part's geometry or its joining method could have a global impact on ...
With the advent of intelligent sensor nodes in everyday life, low power aspects of system design become more and more important. Adaptive body biasing is a promising methodology to achieve dynamic adaptation of the tradeoff between performance and energy b ...
In this article, we achieve a closed-loop control over haptic feedback, first time for an entirely soft platform. We prototyped a novel self-sensing soft pneumatic actuator (SPA) with soft strain sensors, called SPA-skin, which withstands large multiaxial ...
