Feline‐Inspired Robot Enabled by Combustion‐Driven Actuators for Agile Motion and High‐Payload Obstacle Traversal

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Inspired by nature's competitive maneuvers, this study introduces a combustion‐driven soft actuator that powers a multi‐modal “Jump‐and‐Fly Catbot” (JFC). With millisecond response, high‐force output (over 70 times its weight) and precise control (error within 5%), the robot can jump, fly, hover, and escape from challenging environments, achieving ...

Evaporation‐Driven Solutal Marangoni Control of Rayleigh–Taylor Instability in Inverted Films

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Inverted liquid films, like paint on a ceiling, are inherently unstable under gravity. This work shows that selective evaporation in volatile binary mixtures generates solutal Marangoni stresses that either suppress or amplify the Rayleigh Taylor instability.

Deformation Driven Suction Cups: A Mechanics‐Based Approach to Wearable Electronics

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Deformation‐driven suction cups enable robust, reversible adhesion of wearable electronics to human skin spanning wide mechanical compliance, without adhesives or tight straps. By integrating mechanics modeling, experiments, and contact mechanics theory, this work reveals how cup geometry, substrate compliance, and interfacial adhesion govern suction ...

Enhancement of Calcium Ion Permeation via Resonant Coupling of Ion and Terahertz Waves in Voltage Gated Calcium Channels

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We introduce a novel, ion‐targeted strategy to enhance calcium permeation in voltage gated calcium channels. By directly driving the ions’ coherent collective motion via resonant coupling with a 1.65 THz field, we lower the inter‐site energy barrier, inducing a statistically significant enhancement of ion influx.

Interfacially Coupled and Synergistic Effect of Ag/Co3O4‐C Nanocomposites for Enhanced Oxygen Reduction (ORR) and Evolution (OER) Reaction

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Ag/Co3O4–C nanocomposites display well‐resolved lattice fringes and synergistic Ag/Co3O4 heterointerfaces that enhance charge transfer and active‐site exposure. The structural design enables superior bifunctional ORR/OER performance in alkaline media by promoting efficient adsorption and turnover of oxygen intermediates within an optimized ...

Reconfigurable Acoustofluidic Microvortices for Selective Microcargo Delivery

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work introduces a frequency‐encoded, reconfigurable acoustofluidic system that overcomes the low throughput and poor selectivity of conventional micro‐delivery methods. By exploiting discrete microbubble resonances to program adaptive microvortex modes, the platform enables real‐time switching and selective guidance of microscale payloads through ...

Highly Sensitive and Temperature‐Insensitive Stretchable Strain Sensor with Microcrack‐Engineered Architecture

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study proposes a stretchable strain sensor that demonstrates a high gauge factor of 2.3 × 104 and excellent linearity (R2 = 0.98), while maintaining temperature insensitivity under applied strain. This performance is achieved through a microcrack architecture formed by stacking a brittle, low‐resistance material with a stretchable, high‐resistance
