Miniature Soft Robot With Magnetically Reprogrammable Surgical Functions

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Miniature soft robots have great prospects to revolutionize minimally invasive treatments. Here we present a miniature soft robot, which can be reprogrammed to perform five surgical functionalities with six‐degrees‐of‐freedom motions. This soft robot can prospectively make minimally invasive surgery considerably safer and painless, and enable ...

Why Is the Mechanism Underlying the Chiral‐Induced Selectivity Effect Still Challenging?

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
The chiral‐induced spin selectivity (CISS) effect is observed in many experimental configurations and for different materials. However, there are theoretical challenges in attempting to explain those results. A qualitative framework for explaining all the results is presented.

Generating Unconventional Spin‐Orbit Torques With Patterned Phase Gradients in Tungsten Thin Films

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A key aim in spintronics is to achieve current‐induced magnetization switching via spin‐orbit torques without external magnetic fields. For this, the focus of recent work has been on introducing controlled lateral gradients across ferromagnet/heavy‐metal devices, giving variations in thickness, composition, or interface quality.

Rational Tuning of Hygroscopic Oscillation of Stacked Nanoflake Assemblies for Continuous Ambient Energy Harvesting

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Stacked nanoflake assembly (SNA) membranes can oscillate autonomously, offering opportunities for soft actuation and energy harvesting. This work uncovers the physical mechanism behind the sustained oscillation of SNA membranes in gradient humidity and identifies three governing dimensionless parameters, enabling rational design for optimizing SNA ...

Selective Growth of Bulk‐Like Perovskite in Plasmonic Nanoholes for Enhanced Two‐Photon‐Excited Emission

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Vacuum‐assisted capillary infiltration delivers perovskite precursors deep into gold nanohole plasmonic hotspots, enabling uniform in situ crystallization of bulk‐like CsPbBr3 within confined cavities. Verified by peel‐off and structural analyses, the hybrid platform shows simulated |E/E₀| ≈2.80 at 800 nm and ∼40‐fold two‐photon absorption‐enhanced ...

Space‐Time Coding Conformal Metasurfaces for Multifrequency Beam Steering and Shaping

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Space‐time coding conformal metasurfaces enable dynamic wave control on curved surfaces by combining programmable spatial patterns with temporal modulation. This study shows that a single conformal aperture can independently manipulate multiple frequency components, achieving multifunctional beam shaping and steering, with implications for ...
