Multimodal Locomotion in Insect‐Inspired Microrobots: A Review of Strategies for Aerial, Surface, Aquatic, and Interfacial Motion

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This review identifies key design considerations for insect‐inspired microrobots capable of multimodal locomotion. To draw inspiration, biological and robotic strategies for moving in air, on water surfaces, and underwater are examined, along with approaches for crossing the air–water interface.

Electrochemically Triggered Supramolecular Polymerization Under Kinetic Control

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
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

Exergy based modeling and optimization of solar thermal collector provided with impinging air jets

Journal of King Saud University: Engineering Sciences, 2018
The irreversible absorption of solar energy accompanied by emission for conversion into thermal energy takes place at the cost of exergy losses from the collector and the effectiveness of this conversion is evaluated in terms of exergy efficiency based ...

Compliant Pneumatic Feet with Real‐Time Stiffness Adaptation for Humanoid Locomotion

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
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,

Rarefied planar jet and jet impingement flows [PDF]

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2012
This paper presents three sets of analytical exact solutions to collisionless gas flows from a two-dimensional exit. The first set is free plume expanding into a vacuum, and the other two sets are collisionless plume impingement at a vertically set plate.

Ultrasound‐Actuated Gene Editing in Human Kidney Organoids

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
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

Color‐Pure Organic Luminophores: Characteristics, Definitions, Physical Basis and Fundamental Design Principles

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Color‐pure all‐organic emitters, i.e., with narrow spectral characteristics, are intensively studied for high‐definition organic LEDs and multi‐color bioimaging. In order to guide targeted materials design, this educative review discusses spectral characteristics, proper definitions and units, and the physical basis of spectral broadening, to distill ...
