Vacuum–Laser Fabrication of Programmable Soft Actuators

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A rapid and accessible fabrication strategy for inflatable soft actuators is presented, combining vacuum sealing with laser cutting of low‐cost thermoplastic pouches. The method enables precise sealing, fast fabrication, and programmable multi‐cell geometries.

Magneto‐X Effects in Magnetic Soft Materials and Their Applications

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This review systematically explores magnetic soft materials (MSMs), a novel class of composites that transform under magnetic fields. It catalogs fundamental “Magneto‐X” effects, classifies materials by their matrix and magnetic fillers, and highlights transformative applications in soft robotics, biomedical devices, flexible electronics, etc. Finally,

A Janus‐Like Bio‐Inspired Strategy for 3D‐Printed Bimetallic Metamaterials with Excellent Thermal‐Protection and Load Bearing Capacity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A Janus‐like bio‐inspired strategy is proposed for integrally 3D‐printed bimetallic metamaterials. Inspired by shell bilayers, a heat‐resistant AlSiFeMnNiMg alloy and a SiC‐reinforced AlSi10Mg with different SiC volume fractions are arranged as an architected pair.

All‐in‐One Underwater Quality Evaluation Metamaterial With Mechanical Robustness, Sound Attenuation, and Diffuse Reflection

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In this work, a bioinspired all‐in‐one underwater quality evaluation metamaterial, combining sound attenuation, diffuse reflection, and mechanical robustness, is proposed based on jumping spider locomotion and human skeletal biomechanics. Meanwhile, a CNN‑driven quality evaluation framework is established for theoretically dimension‐reduced ...

Active Metamaterials with Tunable Shear Nonreciprocity and Nonlinear Dynamics

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Active gear‐based mechanical metamaterials enable simultaneous control of translational and torsional stiffnesses by 30–100×, break shear reciprocity under positive versus negative loads, broadly tune resonant frequencies, and offer programmable dynamic responses.
