Exploring the Use and Impact of Composite Materials in Robotics: A Systematic Review

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lightweight and high‐strength materials are important in robotics, as structural design impacts efficiency, payload capacity, and energy consumption. Composite materials, with their superior stiffness‐to‐weight ratios and multifunctional properties, offer clear advantages over conventional metals and polymers.

Strategic Design Choices in Upcycled Fashion: Effects of Design Typicality and Material Domain Distance on Sustainable Consumption

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While upcycling clothing reflects environmental value (i.e., greenness) and distinctive designs (i.e., uniqueness), consumer responses to upcycled clothing designs remain underexplored. Drawing on categorization, cue utilization, and domain distance theories, two experimental studies were conducted with US female aged 18–45.

Efficient Harvesting of Irregular and Low‐Frequency Mechanical Energy via Hybridized Electromagnetic‐Triboelectric Systems

Small, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rapid expansion of the Internet of Things (IoT) and wearable electronics necessitates sustainable power sources to replace the limited electrochemical battery. While mechanical energy harvesting offers a promising solution, traditional harvesters face challenges of irregular and low−frequency environmental sources. This review presents the
