Digging deeper: Dielectric Mie voids
We introduce voids in high-index materials as novel building blocks for nanophotonics, pushing the operational wavelength into the blue and UV spectral range.
Autonomous perching on a branch by an ornithopter
This work presents results of autonomous controlled flight and perching of a large flapping-wing robot (1.5m wingspan) on a branch. It summarizes an important milestone in GRIFFIN European Research Council (ERC) Advanced Grant of the last author of the paper, at the GRVC Robotics Lab., Uni. Sevilla.
A general framework for quantifying uncertainty at scale
Quantifying uncertainty and performing sensitivity analysis in real-world, large-scale numerical simulations is virtually impossible with standard methods. We show that our recently developed sensitivity-driven sparse grid interpolation methods enables these two important tasks at scale.
Optoelectronic oscillator solves combinatorial optimization problems
We proposed to use an optoelectronic oscillator to solve combinatorial optimization problems. This new machine can achieve computation acceleration by utilizing the convergence property of the physical system.
