Leveraging Mechanical Resonances for the Selection of Promising Materials in Complex Phase Spaces

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A central challenge in materials science is the design of new functional materials with enhanced performance for targeted applications. This paper demonstrates that “listening” to materials through measuring their mechanical resonances is a rich, and largely untapped, platform for the rapid identification of promising novel compounds and a powerful ...

Liquid Crystal Elastomer Actuator Matrix for Large Area Applications

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A scalable approach is used to manufacture a digitally‐controllable, 2D 5 × 5 actuator matrix. The elements of the matrix are produced by direct ink writing of a liquid crystal elastomer ‘artificial muscle’ on large‐area flexible thin‐film heaters. In optimizing the low‐power actuators, multiple heater designs and substrate materials are investigated ...

Spatially Configurable Conformal Sensor Integration on an Ultra‐Fine Metallic Needle for Minimally Invasive Deep‐Tissue Oxygen Monitoring

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A multi‐point oxygen‐sensing ultra‐fine needle (MO‐UFN) is developed by conformally integrating a lithographically patterned flexible electrochemical sensor array onto a clinical acupuncture needle. The platform preserves an approximately 0.3 mm diameter while enabling spatially resolved oxygen profiling along the insertion pathway.

Programming Actuation in 3D‐Printed Micro‐Architectures via Interfacial Adhesion Control

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A two‐phase meniscus‐guided 3D printing method directly fabricates microscale poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) bilayers with in situ programmable interfaces. Modulating the meniscus stretching speed switches the interface between separated and bonded states, which controls the mechanical ...

Thermoresponsive Self‐Healing Carbon Nanotube‐Reinforced Dual‐Network Hydrogels for Wearable Sensors and Information Concealment

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A CNT‐reinforced dual‐network hydrogel combines ionic liquid‐mediated thermoresponsiveness, dynamic covalent crosslinking, and conductive nanostructures within a single adaptive material. The hydrogel exhibits ultrafast gelation, autonomous self‐healing, >1000% stretchability, reversible optical switching, and stable electromechanical sensing, enabling

Degradable Magnetic Composites from Recycled NdFeB Magnets for Soft Actuation and Sensing

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This work presents a degradable soft magnetic composite made from recycled NdFeB particles embedded in a gelatin‐based organogel. The material is processed into magnetic sensors and soft robotic components, which can later be dissolved in a green solvent to recover NdFeB magnetic particles.

Air‐gap field prediction in tubular doubly sided surface magnet machine using Bessel–Fourier series

IET Electric Power Applications
2‐D air‐gap magnetic field distribution is the essential prerequisite of electrical machine analysis. Because of the natural periodicity of rotary machines, Fourier analysis is a suitable choice for air‐gap field prediction.

Tumbling Magnetic Microrobots for Targeted In Vivo Drug Delivery in the GI Tract

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
We introduce a microrobot design and integrated system for on‐demand targeted drug release in the gastrointestinal tract. The microrobot has an embedded magnet for actuation with external magnetic fields and is visualized in real time using ultrasound. It has two drug release ports sealed with a thermally sensitive wax. Local heating of the wax using a
