Bio‐Inspired Gradient Coatings Enhance the Leading Edge Erosion Resistance of Wind Blades

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Rain‐induced erosion of the wind turbine blade leading edge poses a critical challenge to maintenance and operation. Here, we propose a bio‐inspired approach for erosion protection utilising a platelet‐reinforced polyurethane coating with a graded through‐thickness architecture.

A New Ordered Transformation‐Induced Plasticity Enables Exceptional Strength and Ductility in a B2 Medium‐Entropy Alloy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A novel B2‐ordered Ti‐Zr‐V‐Al medium‐entropy intermetallic is developed through controlled metastability engineering, which activates an ordered TRIP effect via a new B2→D019‐α2 transformation with a distinctive {0001}α2//{110}B2, <11‐20>α2//<100>B2 orientation relationship. This alloy achieves an elongation of ∼7%, a strength of ∼1.1 GPa, and superior

Architected Load Paths Enable Stiffening and Motion Programming in Soft Pneumatic Actuators

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A single MARS template introduces an architected reinforcement strategy for programmable soft pneumatic actuators through internal structural organization and selective beam removal. This monolithic architecture enables deformation reconfiguration from continuous bending to joint‐like articulation and torsional motion, allowing one compliant platform ...

Self‐Sensing Artificial‐Muscle‐Empowered Humanlike Perception, Interaction, and Positioning

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2025.
The proposed self‐sensorized artificial muscle (SSAM) can sense its length change as small as 0.01 mm via a seamlessly integrated multi‐segment induction coil. The SSAM provides accurate length information regardless of its loadings, driving pressure, or muscle design, adequate for robust data‐driven feedback control.
