Continuum Mechanics Modeling of Flexible Spring Joints in Surgical Robots
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.A new mechanical model of a tendon‐actuated helical extension spring joint in surgical robots is built using Cosserat rod theory. The model can implicitly handle the unknown contacts between adjacent coils and numerically predict spring shapes from straight to significantly bent under actuation forces.

Waveguide Photoactuators: Materials, Fabrication, and Applications
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Waveguide photoactuators convert guided light into mechanical motion. Their tethered‐flexible design enables minimally invasive surgery and confined‐space robotics. This review aims to guide materials selection, device design, and system integration, accelerating the transition of waveguide photoactuators from laboratory prototypes to versatile ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.A programmable passive digital shutter based on multiphase liquid–liquid interface dynamics is introduced for precise fabrication of hydrogel microfibers. By modulating the shutter operation, microfibers with tunable geometry—including linear, helical, tadpole‐like, and spherical forms—are produced.

Thickness‐Dependent Creep in Lithium Layers of All‐Solid‐State Batteries under Stack Pressures
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Plastic accommodation of lithium metal under stack pressure is essential for maintaining Li/SSE interfacial contact. Through continuum modeling, it is revealed that interfacial confinement induces lateral shear stresses and impedes plastic flow. Diffusion mitigates these stresses, enhancing deformability and power‐law creep.

Physical Origin of Temperature Induced Activation Energy Switching in Electrically Conductive Cement
Advanced Science, EarlyView.The temperature‐induced Arrhenius activation energy switching phenomenon of electrical conduction in electrically conductive cement originates from structural degradation within the biphasic ionic‐electronic conduction architecture and shows percolation‐governed characteristics: pore network opening dominates the low‐percolation regime with downward ...
