Ultra‐Thin Soft Pneumatic Actuation for Minimally Invasive Neural Interfacing
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Parylene C is a common polymer in bioelectronics, favored for its biological and chemical inertness. However, this makes bonding layers of Parylene C together very challenging. Here it is a laser to selectively weld layers of Parylene C to create high‐pressure fluidic actuation devices.

Advances in Safe, Flexible, and Stretchable Batteries for Wearable Applications
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Unlike previous reviews centered on component‐based deformability, this work highlights safety‐driven design strategies for flexible and stretchable batteries. By integrating material‐level engineering, geometry‐controlled structures, biocompatibility, and self‐protection mechanisms, it establishes a unified framework that connects mechanical ...

Fluorinated Carnitine Derivatives as Tools to Visualise Carnitine Transport and Metabolism
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Fluorinated carnitines, fluoromethyl carnitine (FMC) and [18F]fluoromethyl carnitine ([18F]FMC), are synthesised and established as powerful probes to interrogate carnitine biology. The multimodal detection facilitated by fluorine labelling, including 19F NMR, mass spectrometry, and positron emission tomography imaging, allowed for visualisation of ...

DLP 4D Printing of Programmable Molecularly‐Engineered Liquid Crystal Elastomer Actuators
Advanced Science, EarlyView.We introduce an original and versatile approach for printing liquid crystal elastomers that exhibit reversible shape morphing using digital light processing. 3D‐tructures are printed in a partially cured state, mechanically programmed, and then fully crosslinked to fix molecular alignment.
