A length-adjustable vacuum-powered artificial muscle for wearable physiotherapy assistance in infants by Gollob, Samuel Dutra, Mendoza, Mijaíl Jaén, Koo, Bon Ho Brandon, Centeno, Esteban, Vela, Emir A., Roche, Ellen T.

“…This is crucial in applications such as infant physical therapy where the device must adapt to the growth of the patient during a 6-month treatment regime without actuator replacement. The ability to adjust the length of the VPAM on demand offers a significant advantage over traditional fixed-length actuators, making it a promising solution for soft robotics. …”

Complexity of High-Dimensional Identity Testing with Coordinate Conditional Sampling by Blanca, Antonio, Chen, Zongchen, Stefankovic, Daniel, Vigoda, Eric

“…We also prove a computational phase transition: for a well-studied class of -dimensional distributions, specifically sparse antiferromagnetic Ising models over {+1, −1} , we show that in the regime where approximate tensorization of entropy fails, there is no efficient identity testing algorithm unless RP = NP. …”

Inferring electrospray emission characteristics from molecular dynamics and simulated retarding potential analysis by Schroeder, Madeleine, Gallud, Ximo, Petro, Elaine, Jia-Richards, Oliver, Lozano, Paulo C

“…In this work, we present coordinated molecular dynamics, ion cluster acceleration, and retarding potential analysis simulations to determine cluster fragmentation behavior in a realistic emitter geometry for electrosprays operating in the pure ionic regime. Molecular dynamics simulations are used to determine the fragmentation rates of ionic liquid clusters as a function of internal energy, electric field strength, and cluster size. …”
