Hierarchical Multi‐Material Architectures With Gradient Design for Dynamic‐Range Flexible Tactile Sensing

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Hierarchical multi‐material TPMS lattices are engineered as flexible tactile sensors by combining soft and stiff elastomeric layers with a conformal conductive coating. The bilayer architecture delivers sensitivity at low pressures while maintaining a broad detectable range under large loads, enabling reliable pressure and vibration monitoring for ...

In Situ Two‐Dimensional Residual Stress Characterization of Thin Films

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
An integrated in situ curvature metrology platform combining speckle‐based curvature optical metrology (SCOM) with multi‐beam optical sensors (MOS) enables spatially resolved two‐dimensional curvature mapping of thick sputtered coatings. The SCOM technique provides excellent agreement with MOS while providing an extended measurable curvature range ...

Microfabrication of Soft Millirobots Propelled by Low Voltage Electrohydraulic Actuators

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Manual layer‐by‐layer assembly is replaced by wafer‐level MEMS batch fabrication for compliant polymer‐based electrohydraulic actuators. The microfabricated devices integrate sacrificially defined microcavities, Parylene‐C‐sealed inlets, and multilayer polymer–metal films.

Magnetoacoustic Portals in Quiet-Sun Fluxtubes Revealed by Chromospheric Spectropolarimetry with SUNRISE III/SCIP

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Acoustic waves propagate into the chromosphere, contributing to energy transport and their dynamics. Their upward propagation is restricted to frequencies above the acoustic cutoff frequency.

Programmable Variable‐Stiffness Multilayer Elastomer Composites With High‐Aspect‐Ratio Low‐Melting‐Point Alloy Inclusions

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
High‐aspect‐ratio low‐melting‐point alloy inclusions are embedded within multilayer silicone laminates to create thermally programmable stiffness. Sequential activation of alloy‐rich layers produces four distinct mechanical states and reconfigures tendon‐driven actuator trajectories under the same load.

Excitation of magnetization oscillations in nanostructures by a flow of electrons with a planar spin polarization

Доклады Белорусского государственного университета информатики и радиоэлектроники, 2019
The results of numerical simulation of the magnetization oscillations induced due to the spin transfer effect in a CoFeB/Cu/CoFeB layered nanostructure with a planar magnetization of the pinned layer, when an electric current flows perpendicular to the ...

Hybrid Additive Manufacturing of Highly Stretchable Bottlebrush Polymer Nanocomposites by Decoupled Extrusion and Photopatterning

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A Hybrid Direct Ink Writing–Digital Light Processing (HDD) strategy decouples material extrusion from shape definition, enabling high‐fidelity additive manufacturing of highly viscous, yield‐stress polymer nanocomposites. Excess ink acts as a removable, self‐supporting scaffold, allowing fabrication of unsupported and embedded complex architectures ...

Liquid Crystal Elastomer Actuator Matrix for Large Area Applications

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A scalable approach is used to manufacture a digitally‐controllable, 2D 5 × 5 actuator matrix. The elements of the matrix are produced by direct ink writing of a liquid crystal elastomer ‘artificial muscle’ on large‐area flexible thin‐film heaters. In optimizing the low‐power actuators, multiple heater designs and substrate materials are investigated ...

Biodegradable and Edible Milli‐Fluidic Logic Circuits

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Fully biodegradable and edible fluidic circuits are developed using gelatin‐based valves that operate at low pressure. Logic gates, a one‐bit memory, and a ring oscillator are demonstrated, showing that biodegradable materials can perform computation and control.

Programming Actuation in 3D‐Printed Micro‐Architectures via Interfacial Adhesion Control

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A two‐phase meniscus‐guided 3D printing method directly fabricates microscale poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) bilayers with in situ programmable interfaces. Modulating the meniscus stretching speed switches the interface between separated and bonded states, which controls the mechanical ...
