Multifunctional Position and Stiffness Control of Soft Fluidic Actuators Using Supercooled Liquid
This work explores the use of supercooled liquid as a multifunctional working fluid for soft actuators to allow independent control of position and stiffness; the solution is used to both inflate the elastomer chambers while in liquid state and to achieve a dramatic increase in stiffness (up to 13 times) with rapid, reversible crystallization.

Decreasing the Cost of Morphing in Adaptive Morphogenetic Robots
Shape‐morphing propulsive limbs enhance locomotion across land‐to‐water transitions, but prior designs rely on thermally responsive components, coupling performance to environmental temperature. This study introduces a pressure‐responsive mechanism that reduces morphing energy costs, enables rapid transitions, and minimizes failure modes.

Energy‐Efficient Knapsack Optimization Using Probabilistic Memristor Crossbars
The knapsack problem, a nondeterministic polynomial‐time (NP)‐hard combinatorial optimization problem, is solved energy‐efficiently. This work presents an algorithm‐hardware co‐design and implementation for practical (non‐ideal) NP‐hard problems with destabilizing self‐feedback (non‐zero diagonal) and non‐binary Hamiltonian representations under analog

Torque‐Transmitting Architected Metamaterials for Flexible and Extendable Tubular Robotics
Soft and continuum robots commonly rely on fluid, tendon, or rod‐based power transmissions, to control robotic form and actuation. This study presents an architected structure, based on patterned straight‐line mechanisms, that enables simultaneous bending, extending, and torsionally rigid (BETR) transmission.

Self‐Healing Materials from Electronically Integrated Microscopic Robots
Submillimeter robots can use electronically controlled electrodeposition to assemble into a material structure. The resulting aggregate possesses ultralow density, high strength‐to‐weight ratio, and can heal from damage. Further afield, these results clear a path to materials that organize or adapt by directing matter and information at the microscale.

Printed Zinc Tin Oxide Memristors for Reservoir Computing
Fully patterned zinc tin oxide memristors produced mostly with printing techniques that is programmed for physical reservoir computing. MNIST handwriting dataset is used to program the memristor and a 4‐bit and a 5‐bit cell. In this work, fully patterned zinc tin oxide (ZTO) memristors are introduced using inkjet printing.

ABSTRACT Cardiac rhabdomyomas are often the presenting sign of tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). Prior reports have shown that maternal sirolimus treatment can reduce rhabdomyomas. We used maternal sirolimus to reverse hydrops fetalis due to a massive cardiac rhabdomyoma in a twin gestation.

Analytical Solutions of the Driven Time‐Dependent Jaynes–Cummings Model
Following the great strides made in the last decade towards the control and tunability of physical parameters in cavity quantum electrodynamics, this study presents new solutions to the dynamics of the time‐dependent Jaynes–Cummings model with variable external classical fields acting on the two‐level system and the quantized field mode.

Dispersion of First Sound in a Weakly Interacting Ultracold Fermi Liquid
The weak‐interaction, low‐temperature region of the phase diagram of a Fermi gas the so‐called Fermi liquid regime, which has been somewhat overlooked in ultracold gases‐is investigated. Precise and measurable predictions are presented for the viscosity and dispersion of first sound to leading order in the scattering length.
