We consider the problem of grasping concave objects, i.e., objects whose surface includes regions with negative curvature. When a multifingered hand is used to restrain these objects, these areas can ...

The adjustment of the negative curvature region in the polarization-energy landscape under different strain states is responsible for the tunable negative capacitance. Our work paves the way for ...

We computationally study the leakage loss and bandwidth in chalcogenide negative curvature fibers. The leakage loss is decreased by a factor of 19, and the operating bandwidth is almost doubled when ...

The discrete unit disk cover problem is a geometric version of the general set cover problem which is NP-hard. The general set cover problem is not approximable within , for some constant c, but the ...

We explore the role of scaffold curvature in the cycling behavior of silicon films and show that different curvatures exhibit distinctive failure modes. Negative curvature leads to crack opening from ...
