Stabilizing Magnesium Anodes in Rechargeable Magnesium Batteries via Fluorinated Cyclic Ether Electrolyte Additive

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
A fluorinated cyclic ether, FDOL, is shown to stabilize Mg metal anodes by tuning Mg2+ solvation of the G2 electrolyte. The G2‐FDOL electrolyte suppresses passivation and thick, diffusion‐blocking Mg deposits, enabling more uniform Mg plating/stripping and sustained interfacial reactions.

Modeling and Characterization of a Self‐Sensing Soft Hydraulic Muscle

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This article presents the self‐sensing soft hydraulic muscle (SSHM), a novel soft actuator capable of simultaneously sensing force and length without external sensors. A comprehensive model accurately predicts SSHM behavior, validated experimentally with minimal errors. Using propylene glycol enhances durability and reduces hysteresis.

Jointless Tongue‐Like Bioactuator for Multidirectional Motion Through Directional Electrical Stimulation

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A tongue‐like bioactuator is developed using orthogonally aligned cultured skeletal muscle tissues. By applying directional electrical stimulation of varying strengths, the actuator achieves jointless, multidirectional movements. The device features a fully soft, skeleton‐free design, enabling biomimetic deformation and functional actuation, and offers

Maneuverable Multilegged Locomotion through Anisotropically Arranged Soft Backbones in a Single‐Actuator Modular Miniature Robot

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A modular eight‐legged robot exploits anisotropically oriented soft I‐beam backbones to transmit vibration from a single unbalanced‐mass actuator, producing frequency‐dependent multimodal gaits. A pseudo‐rigid‐body model enables high‐fidelity MuJoCo simulation, while Bayesian parameter identification and reinforcement learning yield robust control ...

Scalable High‐Force Zipping Electrostatic Actuators

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
An electrostatic actuator architecture is presented that combines high energy density with forces and strokes suited for wearable soft robotics. By folding patterned thin films into a scalable honeycomb of zipping units, performance becomes tunable through series–parallel design, achieving over 40 N and 28 J/kg.
