Hierarchical Multi‐Material Architectures With Gradient Design for Dynamic‐Range Flexible Tactile Sensing

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Hierarchical multi‐material TPMS lattices are engineered as flexible tactile sensors by combining soft and stiff elastomeric layers with a conformal conductive coating. The bilayer architecture delivers sensitivity at low pressures while maintaining a broad detectable range under large loads, enabling reliable pressure and vibration monitoring for ...

Toward Perception‐Native Electronic Skin: Bio‐Inspired In‐/Near‐Sensor and Neuromorphic Computing for Humanoid Robots

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Dense tactile streams from across the humanoid body converge on collide in a central wiring and data bottleneck. By relocating computation closer to and then into the skin itself, near‐ and in‐sensor architectures, together with neuromorphic computing, chart a path toward perception‐native electronic skin, in which the conversion of stimulus into ...

Extrinsic Limitations of Stealthy Hyperuniform Devices

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Stealthy hyperuniform devices exhibit a scattering‐free angular region whose extent follows a simple quenching equation. Experimental measurements confirm this prediction but reveal quenching efficiencies far below theoretical expectations. Multiple scattering and finite‐size effects are quantified, establishing realistic performance limits for ...

Pointlike Material Accumulation and Displacement in Azopolymer Thin Films Driven by Spatial Light Modulation

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
A maskless, SLM‐driven approach enables the deterministic inscription of arbitrary topographical features in azopolymer films by mapping complex vectorial light fields onto local viscoplastic stress. This platform allows for the rapid generation and dynamic erasure of high‐aspect‐ratio micro‐spikes, offering a versatile tool for reconfigurable flat ...
