Photo‐Gated Corona Microfluidics
Photo‐gated corona microfluidics decouples optical programming from electric‐field actuation to enable reconfigurable manipulation on open, electrode‐pattern‐free surfaces. Near‐infrared irradiation locally melts paraffin, creating a reversible charge‐relaxation pathway that reconstructs the electric field.

Substrate Engineering of SWCNT p–n Junctions for Dual‐Mode Power Generation and Heat‐Flux Sensing
Through substrate engineering alone, a single‐walled carbon nanotube p–n junction device switches between two functions under uniform infrared irradiation. A low‐absorbance substrate sustains a central hot junction for continuous power generation, whereas high‐absorbance substrates transiently invert the temperature gradient for sensitive heat‐flux ...

Nanoparticle‐Mediated Bubble Suppression During Droplet Solidification for Mechanical Reinforcement
Nanoparticles mediate droplet solidification by raising nucleation temperature, refining dendrites, and slowing freezing‐front advance, thereby suppressing trapped air bubbles in droplet‐based 3D printing. This strategy reduces bubble volume fraction by ∼35% and increases compressive strength by up to 39%, offering a low‐cost route to stronger printed ...

Developing Soft Interconnected Microchannel Network for 2D Skin‐Like Actuator
A soft interconnected network of microchannels is proposed to develop new pneumatic actuators for future bio‐inspired soft robots. Simultaneous stimulation of this network generates regional asymmetric strains in walls of microchannels whose interaction across the entire surface leads to bending curvatures in multidimensions.

Sonoselective Transfection of Glioma Endothelium
Delivering non‐viral, gene‐bearing nanoparticles with thiol‐decorated surfaces to gliomas with focused ultrasound yields transfection tropism for endothelial cells. From this platform, “sonoselective” transfection of glioma endothelium is achieved via incorporation of an endothelial cell‐specific promoter.

Receptogenesis in a Vascularized Robotic Embodiment
Functional augmentation of situated robots via ex novo hardware generation extends physical adaptability. Drawing inspiration from open circulatory systems for mass and function redistribution, this study presents a vascularized robotic composite exhibiting receptogenesis ‐ the on‐demand construction of sensors ‐ from internal fluid reserves based on ...
