Geometry‐Encoded Actuation as a Structural Interaction Layer in Origami Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
We present geometry‐encoded actuation (GEA), a design framework that integrates multistable origami with liquid crystal elastomer actuators to encode environmental interactions into autonomous structural responses. GEA enables programmable shape transformation without continuous sensing or complex control, achieving robust adaptive manipulation and ...

Developing Soft Interconnected Microchannel Network for 2D Skin‐Like Actuator

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A soft interconnected network of microchannels is proposed to develop new pneumatic actuators for future bio‐inspired soft robots. Simultaneous stimulation of this network generates regional asymmetric strains in walls of microchannels whose interaction across the entire surface leads to bending curvatures in multidimensions.

Receptogenesis in a Vascularized Robotic Embodiment

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Functional augmentation of situated robots via ex novo hardware generation extends physical adaptability. Drawing inspiration from open circulatory systems for mass and function redistribution, this study presents a vascularized robotic composite exhibiting receptogenesis ‐ the on‐demand construction of sensors ‐ from internal fluid reserves based on ...

Non‐Hermitian Stealthy Hyperuniformity

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A framework for non‐Hermitian extensions of hyperuniformity and stealthiness is proposed, generalizing PT‐symmetric gain‐loss crystals to correlated disorder in the weak‐scattering limit. By engineering real‐imaginary correlations of the material potential, this framework enables directional scattering phases inaccessible in Hermitian materials ...

Passivation of Bi2Te3 topological insulator by transferred CVD-graphene

open access: yes
The investigation, and ultimate application, of topological insulators, typically involve exposure to ambient conditions or their integration with metals, which lead to surface oxidation or material intermixing. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements that demonstrate passivated and intermixing-free interfaces in the topological insulator ...

Bio‐Based Polyurethanes for Sustainable and Multifunctional Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Bio‐based polyurethanes prepared from vegetable oils, lignin, and polysaccharides have attracted increasing interest as alternatives to fossil‐derived polyurethanes. This review summarizes recent progress in their chemistry, structural engineering, and advanced applications, highlighting the roles of feedstocks, chain‐segment design, dynamic covalent ...
