This work introduces a universal approach for fabricating stiffness gradient hydrogels with diverse stiffness ranges and gradient profiles. Gradient formation is achieved by precisely controlling the thermal landscape within a microfluidic system, which drives thermophoretic redistribution of precursor components in solution.

Degradable Magnetic Composites from Recycled NdFeB Magnets for Soft Actuation and Sensing
This work presents a degradable soft magnetic composite made from recycled NdFeB particles embedded in a gelatin‐based organogel. The material is processed into magnetic sensors and soft robotic components, which can later be dissolved in a green solvent to recover NdFeB magnetic particles.
