Soft Mechanical‐Electrical Logic Using Liquid Metal‐Filled 3D‐Printed Architectures

Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 15, 5 August 2026.
We present 3D‐printed soft mechanical–electrical logic elements that use liquid metal–filled silicone tubes actuated by thermoplastic polyurethane/polylactic acid (TPU/PLA) architectures to produce Boolean operations. Complementary normally open and normally closed unit cells perform repeatable binary transitions and can be combined into more complex ...

CrossMatAgent: AI‐Assisted Design of Manufacturable Metamaterial Patterns via Multi‐Agent Generative Framework

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, Volume 2, Issue 4, August 2026.
CrossMatAgent is a multi‐agent framework that combines large language models and diffusion‐based generative AI to automate metamaterial design. By coordinating task‐specific agents—such as describer, architect, and builder—it transforms user‐provided image prompts into high‐fidelity, printable lattice patterns.

Nasal Alar Subunit Reconstruction: A Review of Data

Laryngoscope Investigative Otolaryngology, Volume 11, Issue 4, August 2026.
This review summarizes evidence on nasal alar subunit reconstruction, analyzing 35 studies reporting techniques, defect sizes, and outcomes. Local flaps are most commonly used for small defects, while regional flaps, particularly melolabial and paramedian forehead flaps, are preferred for larger or total alar defects, with cartilage support improving ...

Liquid Crystal Elastomers Filaments for Adaptive Textiles and Soft Robotics: A Processing‐Centric Review

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, Volume 47, Issue 15, 4 August 2026.
Liquid crystal elastomer (LCE) filaments are fabricated through extrusion with in‐process UV curing, enabling controlled flow alignment and network locking of mesogens. The resulting structure responds to thermal or optical stimuli, inducing molecular reorientation and macroscopic contraction.

Monolithic Stretchable Functional Fibers With Structurally Tunable Percolation Networks for Seamlessly Integrated Wearable Electronics

Small Structures, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2026.
Monolithic, function‐tunable fibers have been demonstrated by engineering asymmetric AgNW percolation networks on elastic cores. Precise vertical encapsulation induces localized densification, enabling spatial tuning of strain‐sensitive and strain‐insensitive regions within a single architecture.
