Summary: A stretchable superamphiphobic surface is reported in this study, which can maintain stable superliquid repellency even under high tensile strain by rearranging its microstructures. The surface exhibits high deformation resistance and retains its superamphiphobicity and morphology after multiple stretch-release cycles. This research contributes to the development of reusable and low-cost platforms for biochemical detection and lab-on-a-chip systems.

Summary: Consumer cameras currently only detect light intensity, while spectral, angular, and phase information of incident light is largely lost. More advanced sensing applications, like autonomous vehicles and robotics, could benefit from extracting additional information from incident light to help machines make better decisions. In the future, it is expected that cameras will be increasingly designed for machines rather than people, with rapid progress in machine learning and artificial intelligence driving this trend.

Summary: This study demonstrates the learning of heterogeneous reaction kinetics from in situ scanning transmission X-ray microscopy images. The consistency of the learned model with theoretical models was verified, and the spatial heterogeneity of the reaction rate was also learned. These findings offer new possibilities for studying nonequilibrium material properties and characterizing heterogeneous reactive surfaces.

Summary: This study proposes the use of a calibration target with a narrow spectral color range for the background and a broader spectral color range for the feature points, along with fringe patterns matching the background color for accurate phase extraction. By eliminating the computational framework estimate smooth phase near high-contrast feature edges, this method significantly simplifies and improves the algorithm.

Summary: This paper introduces a geometric approach to render shadows for physically based materials under polygonal light sources, utilizing a hierarchical representation for the precomputed visibility function to retain the advantages of closed-form solutions. Experimental results demonstrate that the method can render complex shadows with a GGX microfacet BRDF from polygonal light sources at interactive frame rates, and it can be easily incorporated into environment lighting.

Summary: Although vibrotactile feedback is a commonly-used mechanism for haptic guidance, it may not be intuitive and could increase users' mental effort in 3D guidance. To provide a more intuitive 3D multilevel force guidance, researchers propose a wearable device called GuideBand, which outperforms state-of-the-art vibrotactile guidance in terms of intuitiveness, mental effort required, and guidance performance according to studies. Additionally, a VR experience study shows that GuideBand enhances realism in VR guidance by observing how users combine and complement visual and force guidance.

Summary: This paper proposes a solution to the difficulty of rendering the reflection of a bright light source on dynamic surfaces like water with waves in real time. By approximating the reflection direction distribution as an elliptical Gaussian distribution and integrating the reflection contribution analytically, the method can render an animation of the time integrated reflection of a spherical light source on highly dynamic waves in real time with reduced aliasing and flickering.
