Active Fabric Origami Enabled by Digital Embroidery of Magnetic Yarns

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates a scalable textile manufacturing process that fabricates active origami fabrics (AFO) via digital embroidery of magnetic yarns. The programmable AFO exhibits reversible 2D and 3D transformations under magnetic fields, enabling functionalities such as altering surface roughness and linear actuation.

Stiffening Liquid Crystal Elastomers with Liquid Crystal Inclusions

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Incorporation of low molecular weight liquid crystals (LC) into liquid crystal elastomers (LCE) leads to a significant increase in their stiffness and output work density. Such remarkable stiffening is attributed to nanoscale phase‐separation and the formation of induced‐smectic domains in polydomain and monodomain LC‐LCEs, respectively.

Additive Manufacturing of Neuromorphic Systems

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
The crossover of additive Manufacturing (AM) and neuromorphic engineering promises a new paradigm in the fabrication of intelligent hardware—one that is sustainable, scalable, cost‐efficient, and customizable. The AM‐printed neuromorphic hardware (electronics and mechanical systems) is examined, and we discussed the technological integration.

Gel‐Gel Interface Engineering for the Synthesis of Anisotropic Hydrogels with Designable Polymer Orientations

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This study reports that when a gel‐gel interface is intentionally introduced into a hydrogel via two‐step polymerization, the polymer networks near the interface spontaneously align perpendicular to it. By employing a photo‐initiator system to spatially control the gel‐gel interface, anisotropic hydrogels with programmable orientations of polymer ...
