Origami has inspired numerous soft deployable mechanisms for safe human‐robot interaction, while its intrinsic kinematic instability at arbitrary configurations limited their practical robotic application. This work presents a 3D printed meter‐scale origami robotic actuator capable of load‐bearing deformation through creaseline stiffness modulation.

Responsive Open Microfluidic Logic for Mechanical Computing
Coupling elasticity with capillarity transforms mechanical compression into binary fluidic states, enabling deterministic logic in open microfluidic circuits. This work demonstrates that computation can emerge from interactions between mechanic and fluidic domains, establishing a general strategy for embedding information processing directly within ...

Passive Metasurface Tweezers for Multi‐Scale Orbital Transport and Trapping on Elastic Plates
Passive labyrinthine phase encoding converts single‐channel excitation into localized flexural‐wave vortices with programmable orbital angular momentum. The resulting vortex fields enable cross‐scale particle manipulation, including orbital transport, central confinement, and rotational actuation.

Anisotropic wood carbon sponge/SiO2 aerogel composites are constructed, revealing a robust direction‐dependent permittivity ordering (tangential > radial > axial). The radial direction delivers an ultra‐broadband effective absorption bandwidth of 11.6 GHz at only 4.95 mm, while the tangential direction offers superior compressibility and thermal ...
