The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Materials that couple sensing, actuation, computation, and communication (2015, background): “Mechanical sensors that measure applied force (43, 44), strain (45, 46), or deflection (47) can monitor the flow over an aerodynamic surface and monitor its shape change as it morphs into an optimal shape.”
Experiments and parametric studies on 3D metallic auxetic metamaterials with tuneable mechanical properties (2015, background): “Analytical solutions for both 2D [26-34] and 3D [1, 31, 35-37] auxetic materials were achieved.”
Improved Energy Harvesting from Wideband Vibrations by Nonlinear Piezoelectric Converters (2009, unknown): “[20] fabricated a piezoelectric converter where a restoring nonlinear force was introduced with permanent magnets.”
On the Role of Nonlinearities in Vibratory Energy Harvesting: A Critical Review and Discussion (2014, result): “Similar results were also reported for different systems and configurations [83,90,91], indicating the ability of a bistable VEH to produce high power levels for a range of frequencies and input excitations, but also clearly highlighting the complexity and nonuniqueness of the resulting voltage resp”
