Multiband Switchable Microwave Absorbing Metamaterials Based on Reconfigurable Kirigami–Origami
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A reconfigurable metamaterial featuring tunable microwave‐absorbing and load‐bearing performance is proposed. Stretchable kirigami and bistable origami configurations are integrated as actuating components, and the synergistic deformation mechanisms are systematically analyzed.

Force-Guiding Particle Chains for Shape-Shifting Displays
, 2014 We present design and implementation of a chain of particles that can be programmed to fold the chain into a given curve. The particles guide an external force to fold, therefore the particles are simple and amenable for miniaturization.

, 2007 The walking robots are used to unconventional displacement of the technological loads over the unarranged terrains. The modular constructions of the walking robots led to a more suppleness and very good adaptation to any terrain surface. The displacement is carried out at the very most circumstances and with a minimum expenditure of energy if the leg ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Bioinspired bromination of a resilin‐derived peptide enables the fabrication of electrospun nanofibrous scaffolds that uniquely combine strain‐stiffening elasticity, proteolytic stability, and antioxidant functionality. These brominated peptide–gelatin hybrids mimic the extensibility of natural elastomers, demonstrating tunable mechanical resilience ...
