Variable Stiffness Flexure Structures Enabled by Phase‐Change Gallium and Adhesive Interfacial Locking for Soft Robotic Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 16, 19 August 2026.
A flexure‐based variable stiffness structure is developed by integrating phase‐change modulation and adhesive interfacial locking of gallium. The design enables a wide stiffness variability, transitioning from soft, flexible behavior to rigid, load‐supporting performance.

Engineering Layered Magnetic Hydrogels for Cell Placement via Shear and Magnetic Field‐Induced Assembly

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 44, 7 August 2026.
Magnetic particles are organized into layered architectures by combining shear flow and magnetic fields, with the resulting structures governed by appropriate Mason numbers. The programmed assemblies provide spatial guidance for cell placement, linking field‐controlled self‐assembly, flow‐induced structuring and biological organization.

Effect of Additives on Tribological Performance of Magnetorheological Fluids

open access: yesMicromachines
In this study, nano-diamond (ND) and MoS2 powder are used as additives in a carbonyl iron-based magnetorheological fluid (MRF) to improve its tribological performance. MRFs are prepared by dispersing 35 wt.% of CI particles in silicone oil and adding different proportions (0, 1, 3, or 5 wt.%) of ND and MoS2 additives.

The effective magnetic properties of magnetorheological fluids

open access: yesMathematical and Computer Modelling, 2001
Magnetorheological fluids (MR) are suspensions of micron-sized magnetizable particles in a nonmagnetic carrier fluid. When subjected to a moderate external magnetic field, they can rapidly and reversibly vary from the state of a Newtonian-like fluid to a semisolid state (the MR effect).
