A Direction‐Aware Piezo‐Transmittance Strain Sensor via Engineered Alignment of Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs)

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A direction‐aware piezo‐transmittance strain sensor is realized through the engineered alignment of carbon nanotubes. This anisotropic architecture instantaneously modulates optical transmittance, achieving ultra‐high sensitivity and exceptionally low hysteresis. By effectively eliminating signal crosstalk to precisely decouple multidirectional strains,

Dynamic Disulfide Ionogels for Self‐Healing, Transparent, and Elastic E‐Skins

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A dynamic covalent ionogel is designed via polymer–ionic liquid interaction control. The interplay between ionic liquid compatibility, viscosity, and concentration governs polymer segmental dynamics, which in turn regulates disulfide exchange kinetics and mechanical durability.

In Situ Formation of Ni‐P‐O‐C Interfaces in DLP‐Printed Carbon Microlattices for Efficient Alkaline Hydrogen Evolution

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Graphical abstract illustrating the fabrication of Ni–P–O–C porous carbon microlattice electrodes by DLP printing of Ni/P precursor‐containing resin followed by high‐temperature carbonization. The resulting conductive microlattice acts directly as the HER cathode in alkaline electrolyte, where in situ formed Ni–P–O–C interfaces provide active sites for

Muscle Control of an Extra Robotic Digit

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This study compares muscle‐ and movement‐based control for operating a supernumerary robotic thumb. While movement control performs better in the proposed tasks, muscle‐based (EMG) control promotes broader motor learning. The results highlight the promise and challenges of using biosignals for human augmentation, offering new insights into intuitive ...
