Degradable Magnetic Composites from Recycled NdFeB Magnets for Soft Actuation and Sensing
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This work presents a degradable soft magnetic composite made from recycled NdFeB particles embedded in a gelatin‐based organogel. The material is processed into magnetic sensors and soft robotic components, which can later be dissolved in a green solvent to recover NdFeB magnetic particles.

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Automated poultry processing lines still rely on humans to lift slippery, easily bruised carcasses onto a shackle conveyor. Deformability, anatomical variance, and hygiene rules make conventional suction and scripted motions unreliable. We present ChicGrasp, an end‐to‐end hardware‐software co‐designed imitation learning framework, to offer a ...

Real‐Time Ferroelectric Domain Wall Dynamics During Electric Poling and Depoling
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Real‐time visualization of domain wall dynamics during alternating‐current poling, direct‐current poling, and electrical depoling in relaxor‐PT ferroelectric single crystals reveals distinct field‐dependent pathways and strong path dependence. Instant polarized light microscopy uncovers reversible domain wall nucleation, motion, and reconfiguration ...
