Deformation Driven Suction Cups: A Mechanics-Based Approach to Wearable Electronics

Kavli Affiliate: Chiara Daraio | First 5 Authors: Seola Lee, Seola Lee, , , | Summary: Wearable electronics are emerging as essential tools for health monitoring, haptic feedback, and human-computer interactions. While stable contact at the device-body interface is critical for these applications, it remains challenging due to the skin’s softness, roughness, and mechanical variability. […]

Electron Ptychography Images Hydrogen Atom Superlattices and 3D Inhomogeneities in Palladium Hydride Nanoparticles

Kavli Affiliate: David A. Muller | First 5 Authors: Zixiao Shi, Zixiao Shi, , , | Summary: When hydrogen atoms occupy interstitial sites in metal lattices, they form metal hydrides (MHx), whose structural and electronic properties can differ significantly from the host metals. Owing to the small size of hydrogen atom and its unique interactions […]

Super LiDAR Reflectance for Robotic Perception

Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Wei Gao, Wei Gao, , , | Summary: Conventionally, human intuition often defines vision as a modality of passive optical sensing, while active optical sensing is typically regarded as measuring rather than the default modality of vision. However, the situation now changes: sensor technologies and data-driven paradigms […]

A Unified Contrastive-Generative Framework for Time Series Classification

Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Ziyu Liu, Ziyu Liu, , , | Summary: Self-supervised learning (SSL) for multivariate time series mainly includes two paradigms: contrastive methods that excel at instance discrimination and generative approaches that model data distributions. While effective individually, their complementary potential remains unexplored. We propose a Contrastive Generative Time […]
