A Compact, Self‐Recovering Wire Electrode Electrohydrodynamic Pump for High‐Speed McKibben Artificial Muscle Actuation

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A compact and self‐recovering wire electrode electrohydrodynamic pump achieves high pressure, fast flowrate, and automatic recovery after dielectric discharge breakdowns. The pump delivers twice the power density of previous designs, and when integrated with a McKibben artificial muscle, enables tenfold faster actuation, offering a lightweight, silent,

Proximity Engineering of Fe‒N4 Twins for Oriented Generation of Singlet Oxygen for Hospital Wastewater Treatment

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Precise modulation of Fe–N4 site distances constructs spin‐regulated Fe–N4 twins, triggering a volcano‐type Fenton‐like activity and promoting oriented singlet oxygen generation. The twin‐site catalyst enables highly selective and efficient hospital wastewater purification with simultaneous pharmaceutical degradation and disinfection under low ...

Modeling and Characterization of a Self‐Sensing Soft Hydraulic Muscle

open access: yesAdvanced 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.

The effect of drought stress on the limits and costs of plasticity in floral longevity in response to pollinator decline

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Declines in pollinator populations can reduce pollination services to plants, resulting in lower seed production. In response to these reductions, plants could increase the probability of pollinator visitation by plastically extending floral longevity.
