From Folding Mechanics to Robotic Function: A Unified Modeling Framework for Compliant Origami
Advanced Science, EarlyView.A geometry‐consistent DDG framework captures compliant origami deformation from rigid‐like folding to soft panel bending. By tuning crease and panel stiffness, bistable snap‐through responses transform into smooth monostable deformation, enabling programmable stability and robot‐scale locomotion.

Stochastic Entanglement of Deterministic Origami Tentacles For Robust Robotic Grasping
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study introduces an origami tentacle gripper to robustly grasp objects‐in air, underwater, and even in orbital space‐by exploiting a synergy between local, deterministic deformation programming and global, stochastic entanglements. A single origami tentacle can be designed to coil with a simple tendon pull.

Unveiling the Ultralow Thermal Conductivity of Hybrid Perovskites
Advanced Science, EarlyView.In hybrid perovskites, thermal energy flows through lattice vibrations of the framework (48%–65%) and organic molecules (35%–52%). When the disorder introduced by organic molecules is excluded, the temperature dependence of the vibrational thermal conductivity results from the lattice framework transits from ∼T0 to ∼T−1, and the value doubles at room ...

Porous Ultralow‐κ sp2‐Bonded Boron Nitride Thin Films as Copper Diffusion Barriers
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Porous sp2‐bonded boron nitride (p‐BN) thin films with an ultralow dielectric constant (κ = 1.77) are directly grown on Si substrates via RF magnetron sputtering. The films feature uniform nanopores (1.85 nm), high mechanical stability, hydrophobicity, and excellent Cu diffusion barrier performance even at 3 nm thickness, offering a promising solution ...

Geometry‐Encoded Actuation as a Structural Interaction Layer in Origami Robots
Advanced Science, EarlyView.We present geometry‐encoded actuation (GEA), a design framework that integrates multistable origami with liquid crystal elastomer actuators to encode environmental interactions into autonomous structural responses. GEA enables programmable shape transformation without continuous sensing or complex control, achieving robust adaptive manipulation and ...
