Programmable Multi‐Axially Aligned Aerogels via Sequential Freeze‐Casting for Tailored Anisotropy and Tunable Mechanics

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Conventional single‐gradient freeze‐casting typically produces unidirectional porous architectures with limited transverse connectivity. The Sequential Hybridization by Infiltration and Freeze‐casting Technique (SHIFT) addresses this constraint by integrating secondary aligned structures within a preformed primary scaffold.

Optimal design of slippers in a radial piston pump (Experiment and simulation under concentric conditions)

Mechanical Engineering Journal
Mechanical components must be designed to prevent wear and seizure. In hydraulic piston pumps, abnormal friction between the piston bore and cylinder as well as bearings can cause failure or breakdown.

Bioinspired Passive Flow Routing to Mitigate Thrombosis in Prosthetic Heart Valves and Cardiovascular Devices

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Bioinspired passive flow routing mitigates thrombosis in cardiovascular devices by redirecting a small fraction of forward flow into stagnation‐prone regions. Inspired by avian alula and aircraft slat mechanisms, strategically placed routing channels restore washout around mechanical heart valves, reducing low‐shear exposure by four orders of magnitude

Clear water scour at eco-friendly wood-based structures in vegetated channels

Journal of Hydrology and Hydromechanics
Worked Wood Piles (WWP) belong to the category of low-head eco-friendly restoration structures made from large woody debris that are often placed in the vicinity of riverbanks to realign the flow towards the central part of the channel, thereby ...

Current Collector Engineering for New Efficient Bioresorbable Sodium‐Ion Batteries

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A bioresorbable Na‐ion battery is proposed with Mo or Mg thin‐film current collectors for temporary implants. Mo‐based batteries exhibit superior electrochemical performance and stable cycling compared with Mg counterparts. XPS was used to investigate the Mo/Mg surface oxidation.

A Multimodal Haptic Feedback Interface with Thin‐Film Compliant Mechanism

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Multimodal haptic devices can trigger different mechanoreceptors, enabling richer haptic information. This study presents an electromagnetic multimodal haptic device capable of delivering indentation, stretch, and vibration stimuli. The device is enabled by a novel polymer thin‐film compliant mechanism that provides high translational compliance along ...

A Smart Fluid‐Hydraulic System Based on MRF Valve Control and Its Application in Flexible Grasping

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study introduces a smart fluid hydraulic system using MRF valve control for flexible gripping. An MRF‐MSV with an integrated excitation coil and micro‐textured damping channels is designed and validated; micro‐texturing increases hydraulic resistance. Coupled with a soft actuator, the MRF‐MSV enables dynamic bending and grasping.

Enhancing All‐Solid‐State Batteries Performance Through Thickness Control and Surface Passivation of Thermally Evaporated Lithium Metal Anodes

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that thermally evaporated lithium anodes combined with LiF passivation provide a high‐performance thin anode design for next‐generation ASSBs. This approach increases the critical current density from 1.6 to 2.6 mA cm−2, enabling full cells to achieve over 500 and 300 cycles at 1.5 and 3 mA cm−2, respectively, outperforming even

Efficient Adsorption‐Based Direct Air Capture Via Triply Periodic Minimal Surface Architectures

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Architected triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) contactors reshape direct air capture by replacing straight‐channel diffusion limits with convection‐enhanced CO2 transport. Chaotic advection thins boundary layers and exposes fast adsorption sites, enabling 70%–75% more fast sites, 114% higher productivity, and 51.8% lower energy consumption than ...
