Freestanding and Scalable Force‐Softness Bimodal Sensor Arrays for Haptic Body‐Feature Identification
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Advanced Materials"
DOI: 10.1002/adma.202207016
Abstract: Tactile technologies that can identify human body features are valuable in clinical diagnosis and human–machine interactions. Previously, cutting‐edge tactile platforms have been able to identify structured non‐living objects; however, identification of human body features remains… read more here.

From the Electron Density Gradient to the Quantitative Reactivity Indicators: Local Softness and the Fukui Function
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "ACS Omega"
DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.1c06540
Abstract: Important reactivity measures such as the local softness, the Fukui function, and the global hardness have been calculated directly from first principles with the use of the electron density function, beyond the finite difference approximation.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1039/c6sm02007k
Abstract: Polystyrene (PS) microgel colloids have often been used successfully to model hard sphere behaviour even though the term "gel" invokes inevitably the notion of a more or less soft, deformable object. Here we systematically study… read more here.

DOI: 10.1039/d1sm01222c
Abstract: Thermoresponsive microgels are a popular model system to study phase transitions in soft matter, because temperature directly controls their volume fraction. Ionic microgels are additionally pH-responsive and possess a rich phase diagram. Although effective interaction… read more here.

DOI: 10.1103/physreve.99.022903
Abstract: Structural defects within amorphous packings of symmetric particles can be characterized using a machine learning approach that incorporates structure functions of radial distances and angular arrangement. This yields a scalar field, softness, that correlates with… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/toh.2021.3069626
Abstract: Haptic research has frequently equated softness with the compliance of elastic objects. However, in a recent study we have suggested that compliance is not the only perceived material dimension underlying what is commonly called softness… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/toh.2023.3269016
Abstract: When shopping online, a customer cannot directly touch the products but may sometimes make judgments about the haptic properties of a product based only on visual information, before making a purchase decision. In this scenario,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1158/0008-5472.can-20-2569
Abstract: Tumor-repopulating cells evade CD8+ cytolytic T-cell killing through a mechanical softness mechanism, underlying the impediment of perforin pore formation at the immune synapse site. Biomechanics is a fundamental feature of a cell. However, the manner… read more here.
