Advances in manufacturing techniques may now realize virtually any imaginable microstructures, paving the way for architected materials with properties beyond those found nature. This has lead to a quest closing gaps property-space by carefully designed metamaterials. Development of mechanical metamaterials gone from open truss lattice structures closed plate stiffness close theoretical bounds....

Much efforts have been made for the realization of hybrid Josephson junctions incorporating various materials for the fundamental studies of exotic physical phenomena as well as the applications to superconducting quantum devices. Nonetheless, the efforts have been hindered by the diffusive nature of the conducting channels and interfaces. To overcome the obstacles, we vertically sandwiched a c...

This article is concerned with the ultimately bounded filtering problem for a class of linear time-delay systems subject to norm-bounded disturbances and impulsive measurement outliers (IMOs). The considered IMOs are modeled by sequence signals certain known minimum norm (i.e., norms all signals). In order characterize occasional occurrence IMOs, independent identically distributed random varia...
