This study combines full‐field tomography with diffraction mapping to quantify radial (ε002$\varepsilon _{002}$) and axial (ε100$\varepsilon _{100}$) lattice strain in wrinkled carbon‐fiber specimens for the first time. Radial microstrain gradients (−14.5 µεMPa$\varepsilon \mathrm{MPa}$−1) are found to signal damage‐prone zones ahead of failure, which ...

Deformation Driven Suction Cups: A Mechanics‐Based Approach to Wearable Electronics
Deformation‐driven suction cups enable robust, reversible adhesion of wearable electronics to human skin spanning wide mechanical compliance, without adhesives or tight straps. By integrating mechanics modeling, experiments, and contact mechanics theory, this work reveals how cup geometry, substrate compliance, and interfacial adhesion govern suction ...

Growth‐Like Swelling of 2D Precursors for Efficient Fabrication of Complex 3D Microstructures
The growth‐like swelling process fills photocured polymers into the elastomeric microstructures, inducing a significant swelling deformation of microstructures that can be maintained in the absence of solvents. The growth‐like swelling process breaks through the dependence of swelling deformation on the solvents, thereby expanding the application of 3D

Hierarchical Artificial Muscle with Nonlinear Elasticity for Antagonistic and Cyclic Robotics
We construct hierarchical muscles by plying nylon fibers around a heating wire. The hierarchical muscle shows a J‐shaped passive curve, which shows benefit in antagonistic muscle pair and work accumulation mechanism. We also develop a computational, first‐principle model to understand the physics of both active actuation stroke and passive J‐curve ...

Second Order Phase Transition and Universality of Self-Buckled Elastic Slender Columns
Self-buckling is an interesting phenomenon that is easily found around us, either in nature or in objects made by human. Palm fronds which initially directed upward when they were short and turned into bending after appreciably longer is an example of ...

Kinesin‐Induced Buckling Reveals the Limits of Microtubule Self‐Repair
This study shows that kinesin‐driven buckling induces extensive microtubule lattice damage that often exceeds intrinsic self‐repair and leads to filament failure. While curvature, motor motility, and force individually cause limited damage, their combination overwhelms repair.

Living Hydrogels: Harnessing Microorganism–Material Synergy for Next‐Generation Therapeutics
. ABSTRACT Microorganism‐based therapies, particularly those utilizing probiotics, have emerged as a powerful biomedical strategy owing to their inherent living functionalities. These living systems can dynamically interact with host environments and self‐regulate their activity, offering superior adaptability, prolonged functionality, and ...
