DOI: 10.1098/rsif.2022.0718
Abstract: Shortly after touching an object, humans can tactually gauge the frictional resistance of a surface. The knowledge of surface friction is paramount to tactile perception and the motor control of grasp. While potent correlations between… read more here.

DOI: 10.1121/1.4987595
Abstract: Acoustic metasurfaces with subwavelength unit cells modulating the phase of sound wave were developed to realize beam forming, steering, focusing, and recently carpet cloaking. However, these metasurfaces were used for small phase gradient applications and… read more here.
