DOI: 10.1080/09500340.2025.2481174
Abstract: The precise and efficient analysis of scattering characteristics on ultra-smooth surfaces holds significant importance in high-precision optical systems. In this study, we introduce a generalized Beckmann-Kirchhoff (GBK) model tailored for such surfaces. Through a comparative… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/toh.2023.3274352
Abstract: Although surface coating is commonly utilized in many industries for improving the aesthetics and functionality of the end product, our tactile perception of coated surfaces has not been investigated in depth yet. In fact, there… read more here.

DOI: 10.1242/jeb.152942
Abstract: ABSTRACT The presence of well-developed, elastic claws on ticks and widely pilose hosts led us to hypothesise that ticks are mostly adapted to attachment and locomotion on rough, strongly corrugated and hairy, felt-like substrates. However,… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/biomimetics10020069
Abstract: Juvenile mantises can jump towards targets by rapidly extending their middle and hind legs. Here, we investigate how mantises can perform jumps from smooth surfaces such as those found on many plants. Stagmomantis theophila mantises… read more here.
