Rewiring Droplet Interface Synapses
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.Droplet interface synapses are used to create a neuromorphic network. Voltage pulses draw the droplets into contact and enable rewiring of the network through electrowetting. Results show that the heterogeneous droplet compositions and pore‐forming molecules may be used to tune the neuromorphic properties of the device using trapped charge as a form of

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.
