High‐Velocity Ballistic Impact Performance of FFF Printed PEEK With Different Infill Patterns

open access: yesMacromolecular Materials and Engineering, Volume 311, Issue 5, May 2026.
This study examines 3D printed PEEK under Izod, quasi‐static, and high‐velocity impact. Hexagonal infill shows the highest Izod impact strength and superior quasi‐static energy absorption. However, under ballistic impact, all patterns behave similarly, indicating performance depends on infill at low velocity, but on intrinsic material properties at ...

Feline‐Inspired Robot Enabled by Combustion‐Driven Actuators for Agile Motion and High‐Payload Obstacle Traversal

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 18, 27 March 2026.
Inspired by nature's competitive maneuvers, this study introduces a combustion‐driven soft actuator that powers a multi‐modal “Jump‐and‐Fly Catbot” (JFC). With millisecond response, high‐force output (over 70 times its weight) and precise control (error within 5%), the robot can jump, fly, hover, and escape from challenging environments, achieving ...
