Evo-Bots: A Simple, Stochastic Approach to Self-assembling Artificial Organisms

Francesco Mondada, Roderich Gross

This paper describes an alternative path towards artificial life-one by which simple modular robots with novel hybrid motion control are used to represent artificial organisms. We outline conceptually how such a system would work, and present a partial har ...

Self-assembly of nanostructured glass metasurfaces via templated fluid instabilities

Hatice Altug, Dang Tùng Nguyen, Fabien Sorin, Filiz Yesilköy, Alexis Gérald Page, Wei Yan, Arthur Le Bris, Yunpeng Qu, Louis Marie Philippe Martin-Monier, Kuan-Ting Ho

Modern devices require the tuning of the size, shape and spatial arrangement of nano-objects and their assemblies with nanometre-scale precision, over large-area and sometimes soft substrates. Such stringent requirements are beyond the reach of conventiona ...

Two-layer hierarchical control for large-scale urban traffic networks

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Anastasios Kouvelas

Many efforts have been carried out to optimize the traffic signal settings in cities. Nevertheless, state-of-the-art and -practice strategies cannot deal efficiently with oversaturated conditions (i.e. queue spillbacks and partial gridlocks), as they are e ...

Out-of-plane instability of thin reinforced concrete walls under seismic loading

Angelica Rosso

Out of plane instability of reinforced concrete walls is a failure mechanism observed rather recently following the earthquakes in Chile (2010) and New Zealand (2011). Global out of plane instability is a phenomenon that may occur in thin walls, subjected ...

Ab Initio Simulation of Band-to-Band Tunneling FETs With Single- and Few-Layer 2-D Materials as Channels

Nicola Marzari, Cédric Klinkert, Davide Campi

Full-band atomistic quantum transport simulations based on first principles are employed to assess the potential of band-to-band tunneling FETs (TFETs) with a 2-D channel material as future electronic circuit components. We demonstrate that single-layer (S ...
