How Fly Neural Perception Mechanisms Enhance Visuomotor Control of Micro Robots
Anyone who has tried to swat a fly has likely been frustrated by its remarkable agility.This ability stems from its visual neural perception system, particularly the collision-selective neurons within its small brain.For autonomous robots operating in complex and unfamiliar environments, achieving similar agility is highly desirable but often constrained by the trade-off between computational cost and performance.In this context, insect-inspired intelligence offers a parsimonious route to low-p…

MMED: A Multimodal Micro-Expression Dataset based on Audio-Visual Fusion
Micro-expressions (MEs) are crucial leakages of concealed emotion, yet their study has been constrained by a reliance on silent, visual-only data. To solve this issue, we introduce two principal contributions. First, MMED, to our knowledge, is the first dataset capturing the spontaneous vocal cues that co-occur with MEs in ecologically valid, high-stakes interactions. Second, the Asymmetric Multimodal Fusion Network (AMF-Net) is a novel method that effectively fuses a global visual summary with…

Star-Black Hole Interactions in Young Star Clusters
Close encounters between stars and black holes can trigger micro-tidal disruption events (micro-TDEs) in dense young star clusters (YSCs). Using direct N-body simulations with PETAR, we found that most micro-TDEs arise from few-body multiple encounters. The inferred rate is approximately 350-450 Gpc$^{-3}$ yr$^{-1}$. Micro-TDEs could be detected both by upcoming surveys such as LSST, expected to observe roughly 10-100 events per year, and by their gravitational-wave (GW) signals peaking in the …

A New Framework for Unidimensional Structures Based on Generalised Continua

By incorporating three kinematic fields - the macroscopic displacement u, the micro-distortion tensor P, and the third-order tensor N - the study systematically explores three regimes: holonomic, semi-holonomic, and non-holonomic. These regimes correspond to varying levels of kinematic constraints, ranging from classical elasticity to a fully relaxed model. The holonomic case …

Development of Solar Flare X-ray Polarimeter with Micro-Pixel CMOS Sensors
We are developing an X-ray polarimeter using micro-pixel CMOS sensors for solar flare X-ray polarimetry. The system consists of a 2.5-$μ$m pixel CMOS image sensor with a 12.8$\times$12.8 mm$^2$ imaging area and a readout system based on a Zynq System-on-Chip. While previous studies have validated this concept, no realistic feasibility studies have been conducted for the solar flare X-ray polarization observation. In this work, we performed polarization sensitivity measurements at synchrotron f…

The micro-Doppler Attack Against AI-based Human Activity Classification from Wireless Signals
A subset of Human Activity Classification (HAC) systems are based on AI algorithms that use passively collected wireless signals. This paper presents the micro-Doppler attack targeting HAC from wireless orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signals. The attack is executed by inserting artificial variations in a transmitted OFDM waveform to alter its micro-Doppler signature when it reflects off a human target. We investigate two variants of our scheme that manipulate the waveform at …

Micro-Health Interventions: Exploring Design Strategies for 1-Minute Interventions as a Gateway to Healthy Habits
One-minute behavior change interventions might seem too brief to matter. Could something so short really help people build healthier routines? This work explores this question through two studies examining how ultra-brief prompts might encourage meaningful actions in daily life. In a formative study, we explored how participants engaged with one-minute prompts across four domains: physical activity, eating, screen use, and mental well-being. This revealed two common design approaches: Immediate…

Macro-from-Micro Planning for High-Quality and Parallelized Autoregressive Long Video Generation
Current autoregressive diffusion models excel at video generation but are generally limited to short temporal durations. Our theoretical analysis indicates that the autoregressive modeling typically suffers from temporal drift caused by error accumulation and hinders parallelization in long video synthesis. To address these limitations, we propose a novel planning-then-populating framework centered on Macro-from-Micro Planning (MMPL) for long video generation. MMPL sketches a global storyline f…

Study reveals the extent to which nanoplastic pollutes the North Atlantic
Plastic waste pollutes oceans across all regions of the world. Marine animals may become entangled in larger plastic debris such as nets and bags or mistake smaller pieces for food. Ingested plastic can block or injure the gastrointestinal tract. The smallest plastic particles in the micro and nano range are mostly excreted, but a small proportion can pass through the intestinal wall and enter the bloodstream.

Efficient high-quality photon pair generation in modal phase-matched thin-film lithium niobate micro-ring resonators
Efficient generation of high-quality photon pairs is essential for modern quantum technologies. Micro-ring resonator is an ideal platform for studying on-chip photon sources due to strong nonlinear effect, resonant-enhanced optical fields, and high integration. Thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) micro-ring resonators with periodically poled quasi-phase matching have shown high-quality photon pair generation. However, periodic poling technology remains expensive and requires complex fabrication hi…

Instability and self-propulsion of flexible autophoretic filaments
Over the past decade, autophoretic colloids have emerged as a prototypical system for studying self-propelled motion at microscopic scales, with promising applications in microfluidics, micro-machinery, and therapeutics. Their motion in a viscous fluid hinges on their ability to induce surface slip flows that are spatially asymmetric, from self-generated solute gradients. Here, we demonstrate theoretically that a straight elastic filament with homogeneous surface chemical properties -- which is…

Combining PIC and MHD to model particle acceleration in astrophysical shocks
When supersonic plasma flows collide, many physical processes contribute to the morphology of the resulting shock. One of these processes is the acceleration of non-thermal ions, which will, eventually, reach relativistic speeds and become cosmic rays. This process is difficult to simulate in a computer model because it requires both macro-physics (the overall shape of the shock) and micro-physics (the interaction between individual particles and the magnetic field). The combined PIC-MHD method…

A Novel Theoretical Approach on Micro-Nano Robotic Networks Based on Density Matrices and Swarm Quantum Mechanics
In a robotic swarm, parameters such as position and proximity to the target can be described in terms of probability amplitudes. This idea led to recent studies on a quantum approach to the definition of the swarm, including a block-matrix representation. Here, we propose an advancement of the idea, defining a swarm as a mixed quantum state, to be described with a density matrix, whose size does not change with the number of robots. We end the article with some directions for future research.
