3D‐Nanoprinted Fluidically Steerable Soft Robotic Microcatheters
Advanced Robotics Research, Volume 2, Issue 4, August 2026.This work introduces a ∼3‐French (1 mm‐in‐diameter) soft robotic microcatheter fabricated by means of two‐photon direct laser writing. The 3D‐printed microcatheter enables remote, on‐demand steering via microfluidic actuation for guidewire‐free navigation of vascular networks as well as microcatheter‐mediated delivery of fluidic payloads to target ...

Advances in Electroactive Liquid Crystal Elastomers for Intelligent Robotics and Electronics
Advanced Robotics Research, Volume 2, Issue 4, August 2026.Electroactive liquid crystal elastomers (eLCEs) integrate molecular anisotropy with electrical functionality to enable programmable actuation and reconfigurable electronics. This review classifies eLCEs into robotic actuators and adaptive electronics, summarizes key actuation mechanisms, and highlights fabrication strategies that bridge materials to ...

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 43, 3 August 2026.High‐throughput quantum‐mechanical simulations reveal that amorphous carbon undergoes shear‐driven structural transformation into aromatic, graphene‐like interfaces. This mechanochemical process is governed by dopant chemistry: dopants with valency less than four promote the emergence of superlow‐friction amorphous graphene, whereas tetra‐valent ...

Preparation of Cu2Se Thermoelectric Materials via Mechanical Alloying and Hot‐Press Sintering
Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2026.When preparing Cu2Se bulk samples, the sample powder with better grain size after screening will be weighed and placed in a graphite mold (inner diameter ϕ 35 mm) with graphite paper padding. Then, it will be placed into a JZM—1200 vacuum hot—pressing sintering furnace, with nitrogen serving as the protective atmosphere and a heating rate of 10 K per ...

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 6, Page 972-986, August 2026.ABSTRACT The Aso‐3 tephra is one of the most significant widespread marker layers from the Middle to Late Pleistocene, generated by a large caldera‐forming eruption at the Aso volcano in Kyushu, southwestern Japan. Despite its importance, a distal co‐ignimbrite ash correlative has yet to be clearly identified, primarily because although volcanic glass ...

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, Volume 47, Issue 15, 4 August 2026.Liquid crystal elastomer (LCE) filaments are fabricated through extrusion with in‐process UV curing, enabling controlled flow alignment and network locking of mesogens. The resulting structure responds to thermal or optical stimuli, inducing molecular reorientation and macroscopic contraction.

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 8, August 2026.ABSTRACT The limited crack resistance of coarse grain boundaries and coarse interfaces leads to an incompatibility between high‐temperature strength and ductility in TiAl alloys. Tailoring stress‐oriented textures and multiscale heterogeneous interfaces can effectively impede crack propagation, thereby overcoming this trade‐off.
