Bistable Networks Enable Complex Shape Changes

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Transition‐controlled metamaterials are networks of bistable mechanical memory that store local binary states and express them as global shape change. By decoupling low‐force programming from high‐force holding, a single lattice is reconfigured into distinct 2D profiles and 3D surfaces without continuous actuation, enabling reusable morphing materials ...

Photo‐Gated Corona Microfluidics

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Photo‐gated corona microfluidics decouples optical programming from electric‐field actuation to enable reconfigurable manipulation on open, electrode‐pattern‐free surfaces. Near‐infrared irradiation locally melts paraffin, creating a reversible charge‐relaxation pathway that reconstructs the electric field.

Endothelial YAP Signaling Promotes Blood‐Spinal Cord Barrier Repair in Mice After Spinal Cord Injury

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Endothelial YAP is required for blood‐spinal cord barrier repair after spinal cord injury. YAP‐dependent vascular repair is associated with ANGPT1/PI3K/AKT signaling in vivo and may involve endothelial‐pericyte paracrine interactions. By supporting vascular remodeling, tight junction restoration, restored pericyte coverage, and astrocyte‐vascular ...

Tri‐WOB: A Bistability‐Driven Variable Stiffness Origami Structure for Soft Robotic Arms

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Inherent bistability in Waterbomb origami enables the Tri‐WOB to switch between compliant and stiff states. By stacking multiple modules, the robotic arm maintains stiffness without continuous energy input while achieving large contraction, free morphing, and load‐bearing/transportation capability.

Geometry‐Encoded Actuation as a Structural Interaction Layer in Origami Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
We present geometry‐encoded actuation (GEA), a design framework that integrates multistable origami with liquid crystal elastomer actuators to encode environmental interactions into autonomous structural responses. GEA enables programmable shape transformation without continuous sensing or complex control, achieving robust adaptive manipulation and ...
