This article demonstrates that encasing a hyperelastic balloon in an inextensible sleeve greatly increases its burst pressure. This simple mechanical behavior can be used to produce an asymmetric inflation‐deflation sequence for coupled balloons with different thicknesses so they could serve as a soft robot's rear and front anchors when driven from a ...

A variable stiffness structure with shape morphing and shape memory capabilities made from layered textiles and 3D printing material is developed. Direct printing of cPLA on textile electrodes maximizes the electrodes' contact area. This work presents a new method for achieving variable stiffness in small segments of soft, deformable structures, using ...

Film‐Based Multi‐Photon Lithography for Efficient Printing of Electromagnetic Surface Structures
This work introduces film‐based multi‐photon lithography as an efficient method for fabricating electromagnetic surface structures with 2D and 2.5D geometries, particularly THz and mid‐IR metasurfaces. These structures can be fabricated on various substrates, such as glass or silicon‐on‐insulator, over areas ranging from mm2 to cm2, achieving feature ...

This study showcases the first‐ever demonstration of ovonic threshold switching (OTS) and resistive switching (RS) in ZnTe thin films fabricated via a fast, cost‐effective electrodeposition method. By controlling the deposition potential, ZnTe film is tuned to demonstrate OTS or RS behaviors, enabling the implementation of one‐selector‐one‐resistor ...
