(author)Supramolecular structures with strain-stiffening properties are ubiquitous in nature but remain rare in the lab. Herein, we report on strain-stiffening supramolecular hydrogels that are entirely produced through the self-assembly of synthetic molecular gelators. The involved gelators self-assemble into semi-flexible fibers, which thereby...journal article 2020

Zhang, Yu (author), Wang, Yue (author), Tian, Zhi (author), Leus, G.J.T. (author), Zhang, Gong (author)This paper aims at developing low-complexity solutions for super-resolution two-dimensional (2D) harmonic retrieval via covariance reconstruction. Given the collected sample covariance, a novel gridless compressed sensing approach is designed based on the atomic norm minimization (ANM) technique.

Zhang, Y. (author), Bai, Yu (author), Hu, Jia (author), Wang, M. (author)Communication delay is detrimental to the performance of cooperative adaptive cruise control (CACC) systems. In this paper, we incorporate communication delay explicitly into control design and propose a delay-compensating CACC. In this new CACC system, the semi-constant time gap (Semi-CTG) policy, which is modified on the basis of the widely...journal article 2020

Wang, Weizheng (author), Wang, Q. (author), Zhang, J. (author), Zuniga, Marco (author)Positioning based on visible light is gaining significant attention. But most existing studies rely on a key requirement: The object of interest needs to carry an optical receiver (camera or photodiode). We remove this requirement and investigate the possibility of achieving accurate positioning in a passive manner—that is, without requiring...journal article 2020
