Compliant Pneumatic Feet with Real‐Time Stiffness Adaptation for Humanoid Locomotion
A compliant pneumatic foot with real‐time variable stiffness enables humanoid robots to adapt to changing terrains. Using onboard vision and pressure control, the foot modulates stiffness within each gait cycle, reducing impact forces and improving balance. The design, cast in soft silicone with embedded air chambers and Kevlar wrapping, offers durable,

Erosion due to impingement of cavitating jet.
Cavitation erosion produced by impingent of cavitating jet was experimentally studied with specimens of aluminum alloy in high water base fluid of chemical solution type and tap water. Furthermore, the behavior of impinging cavity clouds was observed through instantaneous photographs.

Ultrasound‐Actuated Gene Editing in Human Kidney Organoids
Peptide‐stabilized nanoemulsions enable spatially controlled, ultrasound‐triggered delivery of gene‐editing proteins deep within human kidney organoid tissues. Focused acoustic pulses drive droplet vaporization, propelling cargo into target renal cells while preserving native tissue microarchitecture. This non‐viral platform improves both the depth and

The Process of Plunge Pool Bed Form Changes by a Vertical Jet Impinging Upon Non-Cohesive Sediment [PDF]
The scour process induced by plunging jets is an important topic for hydraulic engineers. It is important to forecast the various scour hole characteristics for avoiding the failure of a hydraulic structure.

Harnessing Phase Separation for the Development of High‐Performance Hydrogels
ABSTRACT Hydrogels are indispensable for the development of next‐generation bioelectronics, soft robotics, and biomedical devices, where their mechanical properties determine performance and reliability. Among strategies to enhance hydrogel mechanics, phase separation enables controlled heterogeneity resulting in gel networks that are reinforced by ...

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

Electrochemically Triggered Supramolecular Polymerization Under Kinetic Control
Chemical and electrochemical stimuli enable controlled supramolecular polymerization of perylene diimide–histidine (PDI–His). Redox processes mediate the transformation of kinetically trapped aggregates into thermodynamically stable nanofibers, thereby supporting seeded growth. This approach provides a strategy for regulating self‐assembly pathways and
