Enabling Metal‐Based Soft Robotics Through Investment Casting
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.Vacuum investment casting enables manufacturing of compliant soft robotic structures out of AA7075 high‐strength aluminum alloy. Additively manufactured patterns are converted into metal soft robotic structures addressing long lasting challenges like durability and nonlinearity of elastomer‐based soft robotics.

Scalable High‐Force Zipping Electrostatic Actuators
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.An electrostatic actuator architecture is presented that combines high energy density with forces and strokes suited for wearable soft robotics. By folding patterned thin films into a scalable honeycomb of zipping units, performance becomes tunable through series–parallel design, achieving over 40 N and 28 J/kg.

Material‐Based Intelligence: Autonomous Adaptation and Embodied Computation in Physical Substrates
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This perspective formulates a unifying framework for Material‐Based Intelligence (MBI), defining the physical requirements for materials to achieve embodied action, active memory and embodied information processing through intrinsic nonequilibrium dynamics. The design of intelligent materials often draws parallels with the complex adaptive behaviors of

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper applies Critical Race Theory (CRT) to explore how whiteness operates within Australia's anti‐racism movement as a structuring force that shapes discourse, practice and policy. Despite the anti‐racism movement offering crucial spaces for resistance and reform, it remains entangled in Australia's settler‐colonial present and systemic ...

Geometry Analysis of Two Photon Polymerized Microneedles—An Experimental and Simulated Approach
Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.This research investigates the mechanical stability of hollow, two‐photon‐polymerized microneedles for drug delivery. In an experimental setup, a steel stamp gradually compresses 1000 μm‐tall microneedles while recording their force–deformation response.
