Cteno‐Bot: An Untethered Metachronally Swimming Robot With Magnetoactive Propulsors
Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2026.We present Cteno‐bot, an untethered ctenophore‐inspired robot which swims using metachronally coordinated appendages. A single mechanism controls up to 216 magnetoactive propulsors via a dynamically varying magnetic field. We show that the swimming speed of the robot can be increased without a corresponding increase in power requirement, simply by ...

From Passive to Active: Self‐Propelled Colloids in Coatings Formulation and Film Formation
Small, Volume 22, Issue 39, 13 July 2026.Self‐propelled Janus colloids are introduced into coating formulations to overcome passive transport limitations during drying. Careful balance of particle activity and evaporation timescales results in their accumulation at both coating interfaces as well as an orientational bias at the top surface.

Liquid Crystal Polymers as Intrinsically Magnetic and Programmable Soft Materials for Microrobotics
Small, Volume 22, Issue 42, 27 July 2026.Liquid crystal polymers (LCPs) are proposed as intrinsically magnetic, programmable, soft materials for microrobotics. Magnetic torque‐driven manipulation of LCP microobjects is achieved and characterized in terms of the step‐out frequency, reaching ∼0.6 Hz in a ∼250 mT magnetic field. The orientation of LCP microobjects in the magnetic field and their
