The internal structure of the Fin-Ray fingers plays a significant role in their adaptability and grasping performance. However, modeling the grasp force and deformation behavior for design purposes is challenging. When the Fin-Ray finger…
The ability to modulate light using 2-dimensional (2D) materials is fundamentally challenged by their small optical cross-section leading to miniscule modal confinements in diffraction-limited photonics despite intrinsically high…
The recently introduced energy-saving extension of the sub-optimal sliding mode control allows for control-off phases during the convergence to second-order equilibrium. This way, it enables for a lower energy consumption compared to the…
Moire engineering in two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides enables access to correlated quantum phenomena. Realizing such effects demands simultaneous control over twist angle and material composition to modulate phonons,…
We present numerical experiments for geophysics electromagnetic (EM) modeling based upon high-order edge elements and supervised $h+p$ refinement approaches on massively parallel computers. Our high-order $h+p$ refinement strategy is based…
The initiation of directional cell motion requires symmetry breaking that can happen both with or without external stimuli. During cell crawling, forces generated by the cytoskeleton and their transmission through mechanosensitive adhesions…
Thin membranes are highly sought-after for nanopore-based single-molecule sensing and fabrication of such membranes becomes challenging in the \lesssim10 nm thickness regime where a plethora of useful molecule information can be acquired by…
Antiferromagnets have been shown to harbor strong magnon squeezing in equilibrium, making them a potential resource for quantum correlations and entanglement. Recent experiments have also found them to host coherently coupled magnonic…
Cell blebs are protrusions of the cell membrane and can be instrumental for cell migration. We derive a continuum model for the mechanical and geometrical aspects of the onset of blebbing in terms of a force balance. It is abstract and…
Research on silicon nitride (SiN) nanomechanical resonators produces an exceptionally rich variety of resonator geometries, for which there is currently no available rapid prototyping solution. Experimental advances in nanobeam, trampoline,…
Topological boundary and interface modes are generated in an acoustic waveguide by simple quasi-periodic patternings of the walls. The procedure opens many topological gaps in the resonant spectrum and qualitative as well as quantitative…
Mechanical metamaterials are engineered materials that gain their remarkable mechanical properties, such as negative Poisson's ratios, negative compressibility, phononic bandgaps, and topological phonon modes, from their structure rather…

Optical parametric amplification generates squeezed light in device-specific sets of time-frequency eigenmodes, and it has been widely accepted that detection and utilization of squeezing must comply with this modal constraint. We show that…
