Decreasing the Cost of Morphing in Adaptive Morphogenetic Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Shape‐morphing propulsive limbs enhance locomotion across land‐to‐water transitions, but prior designs rely on thermally responsive components, coupling performance to environmental temperature. This study introduces a pressure‐responsive mechanism that reduces morphing energy costs, enables rapid transitions, and minimizes failure modes.

Reprogrammable, In‐Materia Matrix‐Vector Multiplication with Floppy Modes

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This article describes a metamaterial that mechanically computes matrix‐vector multiplications, one of the fundamental operations in artificial intelligence models. The matrix multiplication is encoded in floppy modes, near‐zero force deformations of soft matter systems.

Decoupled MOF Breathing: Pressure‐Induced Reversal of Correlation Between Orthogonal Motions in a Diamondoid Framework

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
The diamondoid MOF SHF‐62 exhibits “breathing” motions affecting the cross‐section and length of its 1D pores. Application of pressure reveals that the two motions can be switched between positive correlation and negative correlation, demonstrating decoupling of these motions within the 3D framework and providing a platform for design of more complex ...

4D Printing of Polyethylene Glycol‐Grafted Carbon Nanotube‐Reinforced Polyvinyl Chloride–Polycaprolactone Composites for Enhanced Shape Recovery and Thermomechanical Performance

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study introduces polyethylene glycol‐functionalized carbon nanotubes (CNTs) to enhance dispersion, interfacial bonding, and 4D printability in polyvinyl chloride‐PCL nanocomposites. The optimized 4D composite (0.5 wt% CNT) achieves a 25% increase in tensile strength, 95.78% shape fixity, and 5‐s recovery time.

Coronal Complexation Induces Snowman‐Shaped Janus Polymersome Formation

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Snowman‐like Janus polymersomes were produced in a simple, yet versatile two‐step approach involving a plasticizing agent and a cationic polymer additive to complex with the charged polymersome. Shape transformation was driven by coronal complexation altering membrane structure, followed by segregation of the polymer additive to form a protruding bleb ...
