Continuum robotics has rapidly become a rich and diverse area of research, with many
designs and applications demonstrated. Despite this diversity in form and purpose, there exists …

We describe a new technique for sample preparation, accelerated solvent extraction (ASE),
that combines elevated temperatures and pressures with liquid solvents. The effects of …

Structural and electronic criteria for ambient stability in n-type organic materials for organic
field-effect transistors (OFETs) are investigated by systematically varying LUMO energetics …

A systematic review was conducted by a multidisciplinary team to analyze qualitatively best
available scientific evidence on the effect of agricultural intensification and environmental …

We introduce a new method for synthesizing kinematic relationships for a general class of
continuous backbone, or continuum , robots. The resulting kinematics enable real-time task …

Taking up the semiconducting baton: Organic field-effect transistors fabricated with a new
class of extremely electron-deficient cyanated perylene diimides are air-stable and exhibit n-…

We derive a continuum equation for the magnetization of a conducting ferromagnet in the
presence of a spin-polarized current. Current effects enter in the form of a topological term in …

Magnetic anisotropy allows magnets to maintain their direction of magnetization over time.
Using a scanning tunneling microscope to observe spin excitations, we determined the …

The local effects of isolated magnetic adatoms on the electronic properties of the surface of
a superconductor were studied with a low-temperature scanning tunneling microscope. …

This paper describes the results of field trials and associated testing of the OctArm series of
multi-section continuous backbone "continuum" robots. This novel series of manipulators has …
