One‐Shot Multimaterial 3D Printing of a Flexible Spine for a Robotic Fish Prototype
A one‐shot multimaterial 3D printing approach enables a monolithic soft robotic fish integrating a compliant spine and rigid vertebrae. Electromagnetic linear actuators drive tendon‐based transmission, producing controlled tail oscillations. Finite element modeling and experiments show strong agreement, while optimized material selection improves ...

A Two‐Stage Characterization Pipeline and Open‐Source Framework for Reproducible Tactile Sensing
The same soft tactile sensor returns different numbers when embodied in different robots. This is an Embodiment Gap that no shared framework currently captures transparently. A two‐stage characterization pipeline, paired with a FAIR open‐source digital datasheet, decouples intrinsic sensor behavior from embodiment effects and condenses cross‐laboratory

Perilipin‐2‐Anchored Lipid Droplet‐Targeting Phototheranostics
This study reports two NIR theranostic dyes, C‐BDP‐OH and C‐BDP‐OMe. C‐BDP‐OMe targets lipid droplets via a dual‐anchoring mechanism with PLIN2, enabling wash‐free tumor imaging. With 62.6% photothermal conversion efficiency, it achieves tumor ablation by downregulating PLIN2, disrupting LD‐mitochondria crosstalk, and triggering apoptosis and ...

Natural Aging of Biomaterials in Ambient and Physiological Environments
Biomaterials used in biomedical applications can change their physical properties over time, even under ambient and physiological conditions. This review highlights key studies on the natural aging of materials ranging from soft hydrogels to metals and ceramics, emphasizing how time‐dependent changes influence function and performance.
