This article explores the rise of comics-based research (CBR) as an innovative method for disseminating and translating academic findings to broader audiences. Rooted in the established use of comics in technical communication, CBR takes the unique strengths of graphic media-accessibility, multimodal engagement, and visual storytelling-to communicate complex concepts to diverse audiences, particularly in health-related disciplines. A recent development in this field is the comic research abstract, a concise, visually enriched alternative to traditional textual abstracts.

This paper investigates the noncooperative game problems over weight-balanced digraphs with communication delays. Compared with existing noncooperative games, a class of noncooperative games that are more aligned with practical systems is discussed, where all agents have uncertain heterogeneous second-order nonlinear dynamics. Then, considering two different types of communication delays, respectively slowly-varying communication delays and fast-varying communication delays, the distributed algorithm is designed to seek the Nash equilibrium (NE).
