This study introduces polyethylene glycol‐functionalized carbon nanotubes (CNTs) to enhance dispersion, interfacial bonding, and 4D printability in polyvinyl chloride‐PCL nanocomposites. The optimized 4D composite (0.5 wt% CNT) achieves a 25% increase in tensile strength, 95.78% shape fixity, and 5‐s recovery time.

A Soft Pneumatic Exosuit to Assist Pronosupination in Individuals with Spinal Cord Injury
A lightweight (30 g) textile‐based pneumatic exosuit assists forearm pronosupination in individuals with cervical spinal cord injury. The soft robot enhances forearm range of motion and reduces muscle effort without hindering hand function. Tested in 10 patients during an interactive exergame, it improves motor performance and demonstrates promise for ...

A Literature Survey on Potential Private User Information Leakage in Metaverse Applications
This survey explores potential privacy risks in the Metaverse, focusing on personal data inferred from virtual reality headsets embedded with passive brain‐computer interfaces (BCI). It reviews how age, gender, and ethnicity can be predicted using neurophysiological signals, (e.g., electroencephalogram). The survey also explores future threats from non‐
