Advanced Materials, Volume 37, Issue 51, December 23, 2025.Nanoscale chitin fiber orientations in the insect wing play a critical role in adapting to complex mechanical demands. These findings reveal two distinct and functionally adaptive chitin orientation patterns in the membranes that vary regionally, optimizing mechanical resilience and deformation control.

An Aerial Robot Achieving Bimodal Flight and Independent Attitude Control through Passive Morphing
Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 7, Issue 7, July 2025.This article presents a bimodal aerial robot capable of operating in both standard quadcopter and revolving flight modes. With four rotors, it independently controls position and roll‐pitch attitude across five degrees of freedom. The design features passive revolute joints, allowing seamless mid‐air transitions between modes using centrifugal forces ...

Effect of Wing Corrugation on the Aerodynamic Efficiency of Two-Dimensional Flapping Wings
Applied Sciences, 2020 Many previous studies have shown that wing corrugation of an insect wing is only structurally beneficial in enhancing the wing’s bending stiffness and does not much help to improve the aerodynamic performance of flapping wings.
