This will be a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Levine 307 and virtual attendance on Zoom. ABSTRACT Recent work has demonstrated that a promising strategy for teaching robots a […]
Abstract: AI--guided closed-loop experimentation has recently emerged as a promising method to optimize functional properties in materials discovery. However, achieving the full potential of this approach in the chemical sciences […]
There are many situations in which small particles impact metals at high speeds, even above the speed of sound. Sometimes these are unintentional (as for foreign object damage or micrometeorite […]
The BU Wireless Integrated Systems and Extreme Circuits (WISE-Circuits) group blends integrated circuits with energy-constrained applications to pioneer breakthroughs in information theory, bioengineering, and communications. Our research focuses on the […]
Cedar is a new open-source authorization policy language, used to express fine-grained permissions on behalf of applications. Rather than embed authorization logic in their application code, developers can write that […]
This will be a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Wu and Chen and virtual attendance on Zoom. ABSTRACT In the last few years, the ability for robots to understand […]
Despite substantial progress in robotics, achieving human-like manipulation remains a significant challenge. Existing robotic systems typically leverage human-inspired sensory modalities: vision, touch, and proprioception. However, these modalities are historically studied […]
Amorphous materials have no long-range order, but there are ordered structures at short-range (2-5 Å), medium-range (5-20 Å), and even longer-length scales. While regular and semiregular polyhedra are often identified […]
Mobile robots have shown significant advancements in agility, intelligence, and efficiency over the past few decades. However, their endurance and overall performance remain limited by the onboard power supplies. Current […]
When a superhydrophobic (SH) textured surface is immersed in water it traps a thin shiny layer of air within the texture that is known as a plastron. Contact line pinning […]
Color center systems are among the leading platforms in the development of quantum communication and quantum sensing hardware due to their desirable spin, optical, and spin-photon properties. Among them, the […]
Mechanical metamaterials are artificially designed structures that exhibit unique properties due to their internal structure rather than their composition, e.g., negative Poisson’s ratio, tunable stiffness, and advanced thermal characteristics. While […]
