Architected Elastomers as Load Bearing Actuators for Untethered Soft Robot Walking
Electrically driven soft actuators that enable untethered soft robot walking are developed from 3D printed architected elastomers. The actuators have a handed shearing auxetic structure that enables fast, robust, and battery‐powered motions. The actuators are 3D printed from thermoplastic polyurethane on a desktop FDM printer.

Development of a Miniaturized Capillary Rheometer for High Shear Rate Rheology of Dense Suspensions
This research presents a downscaled benchtop, low‐cost capillary rheometer that can characterize high shear rate rheometry of dense suspensions. The device is capable of measuring across a wide range of applicable shear rates using only a limited quantity of material and addresses a need for an accurate and affordable capillary rheometer.

Carbonized Polymer Dots‐Based Spectrally Adaptable Photonic Microbarcodes
This study explores spectrally tunable photonics barcodes using carbonized polymer dots (CPDs) based on whispering gallery mode (WGM) photoluminescence. CPDs offer wavelength‐dependent emission from visible to near‐infrared (NIR), thereby enabling variable WGM emissions.
