Torque‐Transmitting Architected Metamaterials for Flexible and Extendable Tubular Robotics
Soft and continuum robots commonly rely on fluid, tendon, or rod‐based power transmissions, to control robotic form and actuation. This study presents an architected structure, based on patterned straight‐line mechanisms, that enables simultaneous bending, extending, and torsionally rigid (BETR) transmission.

This study introduces an AI‐guided strategy to design 3D‐printed PEEK implants functionalized with a tryptophan‐enriched alginate hydrogel (TRYALPEEK). The modification improves hydrophilicity, reduces surface roughness, enhances cytocompatibility, and optimizes stress distribution. The platform offers a promising route for personalized implant design,

A Dual‐Ion Multiphysics Model for Smart and Sustainable Sensors Based on Bacterial Cellulose
Bacterial cellulose (BC), functionalized with ionic liquids (ILs) and conductive polymers, offers promise for sustainable sensor applications. To enable real‐world integration, this work presents the first dual‐carrier, multiphysics white‐box model of mechanoelectric transduction in BC–IL sensors, combining mechanical deformation and ion transport ...

ABSTRACT Corrosion of metallic process equipment in chemical, marine, and offshore industries leads to significant maintenance costs and safety concerns. Conventional epoxy coatings, though widely applied, often deteriorate under harsh conditions due to microcracking, moisture ingress and lack of self‐healing capability.

Abstract With the development of dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA), there has been an increasing application of DMTA for dietary estimation in extant and fossil reptiles, including dinosaurs. While numerous feeding experiments exist for herbivorous mammals, knowledge remains limited for carnivorous reptiles. This study aimed to qualitatively and
