Programmable Pneumatic Actuator System for a Bioinspired Artificial Colon

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A modular soft robotic colon simulator driven by programmable pneumatic actuation is developed to mimic physiological and pathological‐like motility patterns of the large intestine. Finite element–guided design and distributed control enable anatomically realistic deformation for peristalsis, segmentation, and mass movements, supporting capsule ...

Ultra‐White Elastomeric Coatings for Daytime Radiative Cooling

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Passive daytime radiative cooling meets elasticity in a new class of ultra‐white silicone coatings. Combining high solar reflectance with strong sky‐window emission, they hold surfaces below ambient temperature under full sunlight while remaining flexible and stretchable. This combination of cooling performance and mechanical flexibility enables energy‐

Programmable Variable‐Stiffness Multilayer Elastomer Composites With High‐Aspect‐Ratio Low‐Melting‐Point Alloy Inclusions

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
High‐aspect‐ratio low‐melting‐point alloy inclusions are embedded within multilayer silicone laminates to create thermally programmable stiffness. Sequential activation of alloy‐rich layers produces four distinct mechanical states and reconfigures tendon‐driven actuator trajectories under the same load.

Hybrid Additive Manufacturing of Highly Stretchable Bottlebrush Polymer Nanocomposites by Decoupled Extrusion and Photopatterning

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A Hybrid Direct Ink Writing–Digital Light Processing (HDD) strategy decouples material extrusion from shape definition, enabling high‐fidelity additive manufacturing of highly viscous, yield‐stress polymer nanocomposites. Excess ink acts as a removable, self‐supporting scaffold, allowing fabrication of unsupported and embedded complex architectures ...

Collision‐Resilient Winged Drones Enabled by Tensegrity Structures

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Based on structures of birds such as the woodpeck, this article presents the collision‐resilient aerial robot, SWIFT. SWIFT leverages tensegrity structures in the fuselage and wings which allow it to undergo large deformations in a crash, without sustaining damage. Experiments show that SWIFT can reduce impact forces by 70% over conventional structures.
