An ultralight, multilayer anisotropic tactile sensor—an artificial Pacinian corpuscle—exhibits ultrahigh tangential sensitivity (1022 kPa−1) and spatiotemporal sensing. It discriminates static, sliding, and rolling contacts, detects incipient stick–slip via high‑frequency signatures, and enhances robotic touch (100%/98.18% accuracy for active/passive ...

Mineralized Cryogel/Hydrogel Constructs to Recapitulate Early Breast Cancer Bone Metastasis In Vitro
A new biphasic in vitro cryogel/hydrogel model of early breast cancer bone metastasis provides precise control over microenvironmental cues and microscopic access to the spatiotemporal cancer cell distribution. Deposited bone‐like mineral is observed to strongly impede the effects of biomolecular signals, as evidenced by both colonization profiles and ...

Early evolution of clumps formed via gravitational instability in protoplanetary disks; precursors of Hot Jupiters? [PDF]
Although it is fairly established that Gravitational Instability (GI) should occur in the early phases of the evolution of a protoplanetary disk, the fate of the clumps resulting from disk fragmentation and their role in planet formation is still unclear.

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 ...

Ion Crowding Effect in Unilaterally Downsized Perovskite Memristors
The downscaling of perovskite memristors incorporating monocrystalline nanoplates is accompanied by an ion crowding effect, which greatly enhances the local electric field in the vicinity of electrode. The highly controlled crowding of anions and vacancies results in anisotropic switching characteristics as well as unique morphology modification ...

Fabrication of Composite Cathode for All‐Solid‐State Sodium Batteries
The design of composite cathodes for all‐solid‐state sodium batteries must address three critical challenges—interfacial side reactions, interfacial delamination, and highly tortuous transport pathways. This work outlines structural and interfacial strategies to optimize ion transport and mechanical stability, enabling durable, and high‐performance ...
