Motile bacteria crossing liquid-liquid interfaces
Real-life bacteria often swim in complex fluids, but our understanding of the interactions between bacteria and complex surroundings is still evolving. In this work, rod-like \textit{Bacillus subtilis} swims in a quasi-2D environment with aqueous liquid-liquid interfaces, \textit{i.e.}, the isotropic-nematic coexistence phase of an aqueous chromonic liquid crystal. Focusing on the bacteria motion near and at the liquid-liquid interfaces, we collect and quantify bacterial trajectories ranging ac…

TeleMoMa: A Modular and Versatile Teleoperation System for Mobile Manipulation
A critical bottleneck limiting imitation learning in robotics is the lack of data. This problem is more severe in mobile manipulation, where collecting demonstrations is harder than in stationary manipulation due to the lack of available and easy-to-use teleoperation interfaces. In this work, we demonstrate TeleMoMa, a general and modular interface for whole-body teleoperation of mobile manipulators. TeleMoMa unifies multiple human interfaces including RGB and depth cameras, virtual reality con…

Modular parametric PGD enabling online solution of partial differential equations
In the present work, a new methodology is proposed for building surrogate parametric models of engineering systems based on modular assembly of pre-solved modules. Each module is a generic parametric solution considering parametric geometry, material and boundary conditions. By assembling these modules and satisfying continuity constraints at the interfaces, a parametric surrogate model of the full problem can be obtained. In the present paper, the PGD technique in connection with NURBS geometr…

On the extinction of multiple shocks in scalar viscous conservation laws
We are interested in the dynamics of interfaces, or zeros, of shock waves in general scalar viscous conservation laws with a locally Lipschitz continuous flux function, such as the modular Burgers' equation. We prove that all interfaces coalesce within finite time, leaving behind either a single interface or no interface at all. Our proof relies on mass and energy estimates, regularization of the flux function, and an application of the Sturm theorems on the number of zeros of solutions of para…

Active Carpets in floating viscous films
Earth's aquatic environments are inherently stratified layered systems where interfaces between layers serve as ecological niches for microbial swimmers, forming colonies known as Active Carpet (AC). Previous theoretical studies have explored the hydrodynamic fluctuations exerted by ACs in semi-infinite fluid media, demonstrating their capability to enhance thermal diffusion and mass transport in aquatic systems. Yet, little is understood about the fluid dynamics and impact of ACs residing in c…

Anisotropic Hall effects in Bi$_2$Se$_3$/EuS interfaces
Proximity coupling of ferromagnetic insulator EuS to the topological insulator Bi$_2$Se$_3$ has been proposed to break time-reversal symmetry near the surface of Bi$_2$Se$_3$, introducing an energy gap or a tilt in the surface Dirac cone. As an inverse proximity effect, strong spin-orbit coupling available in the topological surface states can enhance the Curie temperature of ferromagnetism in EuS largely beyond its bulk value, and also generate a magnetic anisotropy. This can result in a canti…

Presenting Interval Pomsets with Interfaces
Interval-order partially ordered multisets with interfaces (ipomsets) have shown to be a versatile model for executions of concurrent systems in which both precedence and concurrency need to be taken into account. In this paper, we develop a presentation of ipomsets as generated by a graph of certain discrete ipomsets (starters and terminators) under the relation which composes subsequent starters and subsequent terminators. Using this presentation, we show that also subsumptions are generated …

Visual Decoding and Reconstruction via EEG Embeddings with Guided Diffusion
How to decode human vision through neural signals has attracted a long-standing interest in neuroscience and machine learning. Modern contrastive learning and generative models improved the performance of fMRI-based visual decoding and reconstruction. However, the high cost and low temporal resolution of fMRI limit their applications in brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), prompting a high need for EEG-based visual reconstruction. In this study, we present an EEG-based visual reconstruction framew…

Unraveling the nature of quasi van der Waals Epitaxy of magnetic topological insulators Cr: (BixSb1-x)2Te3 on a GaAs (111) substrate through coherently strained interface
Quasi van der Waals Epitaxy (qvdWE) has been realized for decades at the interfaces between 3D and 2D materials or van der Waals materials. The growth of magnetic topological insulators (MTI) Cr: (BixSb1-x)2Te3 (CBST) on GaAs (111) substrates for Quantum Anomalous Hall Effect (QAH) is actually one of the examples of qvdWE, which is not well noticed despite the fact that its advantages have been used in growth of various MTI materials. This is distinguished from the growth of MTIs on other subst…

How Can Autonomous Vehicles Convey Emotions to Pedestrians? A Review of Emotionally Expressive Non-Humanoid Robots
In recent years, researchers and manufacturers have started to investigate ways to enable autonomous vehicles (AVs) to interact with nearby pedestrians in compensation for the absence of human drivers. The majority of these efforts focuses on external human-machine interfaces (eHMIs), using different modalities, such as light patterns or on-road projections, to communicate the AV's intent and awareness. In this paper, we investigate the potential role of affective interfaces to convey emotions …

Thermal boundary conductance and thermal conductivity strongly depend on nearby environment
At the nanoscale, the thermal boundary conductance (TBC) and thermal conductivity are not intrinsic properties of interfaces or materials but depend on the nearby environment. However, most studies focused on single interfaces or superlattices, and the thermal transport across heterostructures formed by multiple different materials is still mysterious. In this study, we demonstrate how much the TBC of an interface is affected by the existence of a second interface, as well as how much the therm…
