Disorder engineering and conductivity dome in ReS2 with electrolyte gating

Andras Kis, Oleg Yazyev, Dumitru Dumcenco, Dmitry Ovchinnikov, Fernando Gargiulo, Adrien Victor Allain, Diego José Pasquier

Atomically thin rhenium disulphide (ReS2) is a member of the transition metal dichalcogenide family of materials. This two-dimensional semiconductor is characterized by weak interlayer coupling and a distorted 1T structure, which leads to anisotropy in ele ...

Spin- and valley-polarized transport across line defects in monolayer MoS2

Oleg Yazyev, Artem Pulkin

We address the ballistic transmission of charge carriers across ordered line defects in monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides. Our study reveals the presence of a transport gap driven by spin-orbit interactions, spin and valley filtering, both stemmin ...

An exploration of moving walkways as a transport system in urban centers

Michel Bierlaire, André Ourednik, Riccardo Scarinci, Farzaneh Bahrami

Moving walkways (MW) have been imagined as a possible means of transport since the late 19th century, and this system has fascinated urban planners and engineers ever since. Contrary to what has been imagined, moving walkways are only used in transportatio ...

Integrated maintenance model for heavy haul tracks

José João Pires De Oliveira Filho

Due to the accumulation of traffic, the railway components are affected by the induced stresses. As a result, the geometry of the railways is degraded over time. The degradation occurs either through the partial loss of the track's geometry or through the ...

Pioneering Driverless Electric Vehicles in Europe: The City Automated Transport System (CATS)

Vincent Kaufmann, Derek Pierre Christie

The City Automated Transport System (CATS) was a collaborative FP7 European project that lasted from 2010 to 2014. Its objective was to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of driverless electric vehicles in European cities. This contribution explain ...

Biomimetic Underwater Robots Based on Dielectric Elastomer Actuators

Dario Floreano, Herbert Shea, Jun Shintake

Dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs), a soft actuator technology, hold great promise for biomimetic underwater robots. The high-voltages required to drive DEAs can however make them challenging to use in water. This paper demonstrates a method to create D ...

What mobility for teenagers ? Results from a quantitative survey in five European countries

Vincent Kaufmann, Emmanuel Pierre Jean Ravalet, Guillaume Simon Joseph Drevon

This topic aims at understanding precisely what are the mobility behaviors and aspirations of people under 18. The increasing use of ICT enables a larger access to several information (vehicle availability, travel times, costs, etc.) and payment systems. D ...

Hybrid Cyclicity: Combining The Benefits Of Cyclic And Non-Cyclic Timetables

Michel Bierlaire, Shadi Sharif Azadeh, Mohammad Yousef Maknoon, Tomas Robenek

We propose a new type of timetable that would combine both the regularity of the cyclic timetables and the flexibility of the non-cyclic ones. In order to do so, several combinations of the two timetables are considered. The regularity is incorporated in t ...
