Higher-order Dirac semimetal in a photonic crystal by Wang, Zihao, Liu, Dongjue, Teo, Hau Tian, Wang, Qiang, Xue, Haoran, Zhang, Baile

“…Numerical results on the band structure show that the designed three-dimensional photonic crystal is able to host two fourfold Dirac points, which are connected in the momentum-space projections via higher-order hinge states localized at the hinge. The higher-order topology can be characterized by the topological invariant χ(6) at different values of k_z . …”

Extremely versatile deformability beyond materiality : a new material platform through simple cutting for rugged batteries by Kim, Kee-Bum, Lee, Young-Joo, Costa, Avelino, Lee, Yu-Ki, Jang, Tae-Sik, Lee, Myoung-Gyu, Joo, Young-Chang, Oh, Kyu Hwan, Song, Juha, Choi, In-Suk

“…In particular, an auxetic cut flexible substrate accommodates various complex deformations and adaptive conformations through the hinge joints because the external force is highly localized in the hinges while the segmented motifs remain almost undeformed. …”

Speech enhancement using auditory-based spectral amplitude estimators by Sekar Sathiya Narayanan.

“…The original speech signal is subjected to three types of noises, namely, white noise, pink noise and cockpit noise. The proposed estimator is applied to the noisy speech signal to obtain the enhanced speech signal and the objective measures of speech quality such as the segmental SNR (SNRseg) and the log-likelihood-ratio (LLR) are obtained. …”
