Inflatable Kirigami Crawlers

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Inflatable kirigami crawlers are fabricated from heat‐sealable textiles and achieve motion through cyclic pneumatic actuation. Strategically placed kirigami cuts guide asymmetric deformation, doubling contraction compared to traditional pouches and forming scale‐like surfaces.

A Force Myography (FMG) Armband Based on Micro‐Structured Textile‐Pressure Sensors for Human‐Machine Interface (HMI)

Advanced Sensor Research, EarlyView.
This study introduces a textile‐based capacitive pressure sensor featuring a triangular prism microstructure, which significantly enhances sensitivity to 5.52% kPa−¹ and supports a wide sensing range up to 330 kPa. The sensor's performance is validated in a 4‐channel capacitive pressure‐based force myography (cFMG) armband for gesture recognition ...

Fibronectin Fibers Progressively Lose Their Tension in Invasive Human Breast Carcinoma while Being Tensed in DCIS and Healthy Breast Tissue

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Extracellular matrix remodeling is crucial in cancer progression. Using a peptide to probe the tension of ECM fibers, it was found that Fibronectin fibers gradually lose tension as human breast carcinoma progresses, while their tension is maintained in ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), the non‐invasive precursor of breast cancer. This loss of tension is
