Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.A novel soft robotic propeller overcomes traditional efficiency‐flexibility tradeoffs via a hybrid pneumatic‐cable actuation strategy. This architecture enables active stiffness modulation with dual‐mode locomotion: tunable biomimetic swimming and earthworm‐inspired wriggling for confined spaces.

Advanced Physics Research, EarlyView.The top panel shows the electronic band structure, which illustrates how the electronic energy varies with momentum along different high‐symmetry directions within the first Brillouin zone. Band structure determines the electronic character of a crystalline solid.

Quantum-spin-Hall topological insulator in a spring-mass system
New Journal of Physics, 2018 It is proposed that a lattice, with constituent masses and spring constants, may be considered as a model system for topological matter. For instance, a relative variation of the inter- and intra-unit cell spring constants can be used to create, tune ...
