Atomistic modeling of the solid-liquid interface of metals and alloys

Edoardo Baldi

Solidification is a phase transformation of utmost importance in material science, for it largely controls materials' microstructure on which a wide range of mechanical properties depends. Almost every human artifact undergoes a transformation that leads t ...

Benchmarking Agility For Multilegged Terrestrial Robots

Auke Ijspeert, Peter Eckert

In this paper, we present a novel and practical approach for benchmarking agility. We focus on terrestrial, multilegged locomotion in the field of bio-inspired robotics. We define agility as the ability to perform a set of different but specific tasks exec ...

A microphotonic astrocomb

Tobias Kippenberg, Michael Wolfgang Geiselmann, Junqiu Liu, Tobias Herr, Miles Henry Anderson, Stefan Kundermann

Earth-like planets, dark energy and variability of fundamental physical constants can be discovered by observing wavelength shifts in the optical spectra of astronomical objects(1-5). These wavelength shifts are so tiny that exquisitely accurate and precis ...
