Ultrafast modulation of exciton – plasmon coupling in a monolayer WS2 – Ag nanodisk hybrid system by Du, Wei, Zhao, Jiaxin, Zhao, Weijie, Zhang, Shunping, Xu, Hongxing, Xiong, Qihua

“…Specifically, the instant switch-off of the Fano resonance was observed upon the femtosecond pump excitation, characterized by the photoinduced absorption signal at the Fano resonance frequency. The fast recovery of the Fano resonance starts at the sub-100 fs time scale as a result of the energy transfer from excitons of WS2 to plasmons in Ag nanodisks. …”

A constrained instantaneous learning approach for aerial package delivery robots : onboard implementation and experimental results by Mehndiratta, Mohit, Kayacan, Erdal

“…Thanks to learning capability of the presented framework, the aerial robot can learn from its own experience, and react promptly—unlike iterative learning control which allows the system to improve tracking accuracy from repetition to repetition—to reduce the tracking error. Additionally, the fast C++ execution of NMPC and NMHE codes facilitates a complete onboard implementation of the proposed framework on a low-cost embedded processor.…”
