We propose a novel bio-inspired design principle for the perfectly vertical grating coupler. The main idea of our design is to introduce anisotropy to the grating stripe to direct the light to one sid…
Bio-inspired $\pmb \vee$ flight formation is a well known technique for energy saving among groups of fixed-wing aircraft, and as of recently, for groups of quad-rotors. Here, we study the effect of t…
Bio-inspired propulsion using oscillating fins has gained attention for its potential to achieve high thrust, efficiency, and maneuverability. Many aquatic organisms generate propulsion through coordi…
A fin-body configuration is tested in a water tunnel to study the hydrodynamic loads and vortex evolution under dynamic fin-flapping motions, which is an idealized approximation of the pectoral fins o…
A Cyber-physical underwater vehicle is equipped with bio-inspired flapping fins positioned on the sides of the vehicle's main body. The proposed control surfaces are inspired by fish pectoral fins, ge…
Quantum sensing with undetected photons is a technique where photons of one wavelength probe a sample, but information is extracted by measuring photons of another wavelength that never interacts with…
We investigate quantum spectroscopy with undetected photons for protein detection in the mid-infrared spectral region. Classical Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy of protein samples (bovine seru…
A primary goal of the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) is to detect and measure the abundance of biosignature molecules, such as water (H2O) and oxygen (O2), in the atmosphere of Earth analogs. This…
Confocal Brillouin microscopy enables high-resolution mechanical imaging but has low acquisition speed, partly due to its pixel-by-pixel mapping strategy. Line-scanning Brillouin microscopy (LSBM) sig…
Applications such as digital microfluidics and bio-diagnostics rely on droplet locomotion. A prominent example of such motion is durotaxis, a phenomenon that requires a stiffness gradient along a surf…
The p-type surface conductivity of H-terminated diamond (HD, H-diamond) has created new path ways for developing diamond based electronic devices as well as chemical and bio-sensors. However, the hydr…
We propose a mechanism for insulator-to-metal (IM) transitions driven by the mismatch of quantized formal polarization (QFP), a symmetry-protected bulk invariant. For a material with a low-symmetry in…
This study investigates the dynamics of passively morphing foils under accelerated plunging, establishing mechanistic links between transient kinematics, structural compliance, and aerodynamic perform…
Nonlinear amplification is a powerful technique for generating ultrashort laser pulses with high peak power in fiber systems. However, the diversity of nonlinear amplification approaches and their inh…
We develop a numerical framework to simulate the locomotion of a flagellated bacterium with a spheroidal head (such as Escherichia coli) in biological fluids like mucus, which are entangled polymer so…
We present a new class of quantum neural networks (QNNs) whose states are solutions of $p$-adic Schr\"{o}dinger equations with a non-local potential that controls the interaction between the neurons. …
This paper reports FDTD simulations of optofluidic reconfiguration in two-dimensional silicon photonic crystal waveguides, treating structural plasticity (the creation and destruction of optical pathw…
Magnetic nanoflowers (MNFs), which exhibit large intrinsic magnetic losses and high specific absorption rates under clinically relevant alternating magnetic fields, highlight strong potential as effic…
Nanodiamonds containing nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers are promising quantum sensors for biological applications thanks to their sub-micron spatial resolution, biocompatibility, and versatile multi-mod…
Electrostatic interactions fundamentally govern the structure, stability, and dynamics of charged (bio)matter, yet the impact of heterogeneous and anisotropic charge distributions on the behavior of p…
