FiN‐Kiri: Fabric‐Based Inflatable Kirigami Actuator for Multimodal Soft Robots
This study introduces a type of inflatable fabric‐based kirigami actuator capable of performing bending motion. The actuator is utilized as soft grippers, a crawling robot and a swimming robot. The crawling robot demonstrated extraordinary motion capabilities, such as moving forward, turning and navigating a narrow tunnel.

Estimating the Thermal Conductivity of Unsaturated Sand
A modified parallel model for estimating the thermal conductivity of unsaturated sand was proposed in this study. The heat conduction in the solid phase of sand depends mainly on the form of contacts between solid particles, while water bridges at the ...

Consensus Formation and Change are Enhanced by Neutrality
Neutral agents are shown to enhance both the formation and overturning of consensus in collective decision‐making. A general mathematical model and experiments with locusts and humans reveal that neutrality enables robust consensus via simple interactions and accelerates consensus change by reducing effective population size.

One-dimensional temperature and stress distributions associated with hyperbolic heat conduction
The classical Fourier heat conduction law gives sufficient accuracy for many practical engineering applications. However, it cannot exactly reflect the real physical mechanism of heat conduction by highly-varying thermal load, at very low temperatures ...

The pholidota‐inspired electronic skin is successfully constructed, originally realized four‐state reversible switching of terahertz‐wave reflection, absorption, transmission, and secondary reflection. In response to external demands, it issues deformation instructions, verifies the deformation state after the equipment executes the action, and thus ...
