Origami‐Mediated Low‐Voltage Electret Soft Robotic Actuators for Human‐Machine Haptic Interfaces

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work introduces an origami‐mediated soft electret actuator that combines compliant mechanical design and enhanced charge retention for low‐voltage vibrotactile feedback. The device delivers reliable tactile cues, demonstrates durable performance under continuous actuation, and enables intuitive interaction in applications such as tactile ...

Quantifying Structure–Property Relationships in Ferroelectric Polymers Toward High‐Performance Soft Robots

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Here, we establish a quantitative relationship between the electrostriction coefficient (Q33) of FRPs and their interplanar spacing (d): Q33 = 100(Δd/d0+1) × Q33(s). Using this model, we fabricated high‐performance soft robots, including a biomimetic crawler (with a speed of 27 cm/s) and a butterfly (with a thrust‐to‐weight ratio of 0.71).

Intrinsic Coupling of Radiative Cooling and Triboelectric Responses in Dual‐Function ZrO2 Nanocomposites for Adaptive Thermoregulation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A novel nanocomposite design strategy utilizes ZrO2 to intrinsically couple passive daytime radiative cooling and triboelectric functionality within a single material platform. Fabricated via direct ink writing, the multifunctional breathable architecture provides effective sub‐ambient cooling, motion‐driven energy harvesting, and adaptive ...

Improved Direct Ink Writing of Liquid Metal Foams via Liquid Additives

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
The ability to pattern liquid metal is useful for making soft electrical and thermal devices. Dispensing liquid metal from a nozzle naturally results in the formation of spheroidal droplets, making direct‐write printing challenging. Liquid metal foams containing pockets of air can extrude as filaments, albeit inconsistently.
