Multi‐Target Wireless Localization of Miniaturized Magneto–Oscillatory Trackers in Soft Biological Tissues

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Miniaturized, frequency‐encoded magneto–oscillatory trackers enable wireless localization of multiple targets without prior knowledge of their positions or orientations. The method achieves accurate localization over clinically relevant distances and measures local viscoelasticity via the oscillatory responses.

Habitat‐Specific Design Strategies for Untethered Soft Robots

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Habitat shapes the design of untethered soft robots. Across land, water, air, and living tissues, environmental constraints govern viable combinations of compliant structures, actuation mechanisms, and energy delivery. This review connects these constraints with robotic performance and identifies design principles for advancing adaptable, durable, and ...

Precision Nanomedicine for Traumatic Neural Injury: Functional Paradigms and Translational Frameworks

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This review presents a pathology‐driven framework unifying nanomedicine across TBI, SCI, and PNI. Epidemiological evidence and comparative single‐cell transcriptomic reanalysis define shared pathological modules, injury‐specific effectors, and therapeutic bottlenecks. Six functional paradigms connect nanomaterial structure and biological fate to injury‐
