Dead Matter, Living Machines: Repurposing Crustaceans' Abdomen Exoskeleton for Bio‐Hybrid Robots
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Crustacean exoskeletons, repurposed from food waste, are engineered into sustainable bending actuators combining biotic structure with synthetic control. The augmented exoskeletons achieve rapid and robust motion with lightweight body and can be used as part of robotic manipulators, grippers and swimmers.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The blood‐brain barrier (BBB) renders the delivery of nanomedicine in the brain ineffective and the detection of circulating disease‐related DNA from the brain unreliable. Here, we demonstrate that microbubble‐enhanced focused ultrasound (MB‐FUS) mediated BBB opening, supported by large‐data models predict sonication regimens for safe and ...

An Elastocaloric Polymer with Ultra‐High Solid‐State Cooling via Defect Engineering
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This work reports a defect‐engineering strategy that enables a record‐high adiabatic temperature change of up to 8.14 ± 1.76 °C in elastomers at an elevated temperature above 65 °C. Combined experimental and theoretical efforts reveal that increasing dangling‐chain defects nonmonotonically impacts the elastocaloric cooling performance of polymers due ...

Rib‐Reinforced Ultralight and Ultra‐Strong Shell Lattices
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study thoroughly reveals the relation between the curvature and stress direction of triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) thin shell lattices and proposes a novel rib reinforcement design strategy to incorporate ribs along the line of asymptotes (LOA) and the line of principal curvatures (LOC) to enhance the strength of ultralight TPMS shell ...
