MAX phases are nanolaminated ternary materials that combine metallic and ceramic properties. Currently, the A-site elements replacement in traditional ones by later transition-metals opens a door to explore new types of MAX phases. In this…

The organization of interactions in complex systems can be described by networks connecting different units. These graphs are useful representations of the local and global complexity of the underlying systems. The origin of their…

Traditional design cycles for new materials and assemblies have two fundamental drawbacks. The underlying physical relationships are often too complex to be precisely calculated and described. Aside from that, many unknown uncertainties,…

Thin films are ubiquitous in modern technology and highly useful in materials discovery and design. For achieving optimal extrinsic properties their microstructure needs to be controlled in a multi-parameter space, which usually requires a…

Accurate phase measurement is highly desirable in optical manipulation driven by structured light, since the phase profiles have a close connection with optical force distribution, strongly affecting the capability of optical traps. Here,…

The study of phase transitions using data-driven approaches is challenging, especially when little prior knowledge of the system is available. Topological data analysis is an emerging framework for characterizing the shape of data and has…

Programmable unitary photonic devices are emerging as promising tools to implement unitary transformation for quantum information processing, machine learning, and optical communication. These devices typically use a rectangular mesh of…

Crystal structures are indispensable across various domains, from batteries to solar cells, and extensive research has been dedicated to predicting their properties based on their atomic configurations. However, prevailing Crystal Structure…

The article addresses the problem of strong structural controllability of structured networks with multi-input multi-output (MIMO) node systems. The authors first present necessary and sufficient conditions for strong structural…

Multi-mobile robot systems show great advantages over one single robot in many applications. However, the robots are required to form desired task-specified formations, making feasible motions decrease significantly. Thus, it is challenging…

Topology diagrams are widely seen in power system applications, but their automatic generation is often easier said than done. When facing power transmission systems with strongly-meshed structures, existing approaches can hardly produce…

Biological systems excel at building spatial structures on scales ranging from nanometers to kilometers and exhibit temporal patterning from milliseconds to years. One approach that nature has taken to accomplish this relies on the…

Chemical exfoliation of MAX phases into two-dimensional (2D) MXenes can be considered as a major breakthrough in the synthesis of novel 2D systems. To gain insight into the exfoliation possibility of MAX phases and to identify which MAX…

Topological phases in electronic structures contain a new type of topology, called fragile, which can arise, for example, when an Elementary Band Representation (Atomic Limit Band) splits into a particular set of bands. We obtain, for the…

Traditional multi-robot motion planning (MMP) focuses on computing trajectories for multiple robots acting in an environment, such that the robots do not collide when the trajectories are taken simultaneously. In safety-critical…

The scope of the paper is the theoretical analysis of the time rate in which a dynamical system reaches a stable stationary state or stable oscillations. The method used for the analysis is based on the so-called iterative time profiles,…

Multi-phase materials are key for modern engineering applications. They are generally characterized by a high strength and ductility. Many of these materials fail by ductile fracture of the, generally softer, matrix phase. In this work we…

Active structures have the ability to change their shape, properties, and functionality as a response to changing operational conditions, which makes them more versatile than their static counterparts. However, most active structures…

An extension of coupled maps is given which allows for the growth of the number of elements, and is inspired by the cell differentiation problem. The growth of elements is made possible first by clustering the phases, and then by…
