Stretchable h‐BN/TPU Fibers for Passive‐Active Dual‐Mode Thermal Management and Wearable Haptic Interfaces

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Optimized 30 wt.% h‐BN/TPU fibers create a thermal conductivity of 2.08 W·m−1·K−1 while retaining mechanical compliance (422% elongation at break). Woven fabrics reduce surface temperature by 5.7°C under simulated solar irradiation. Glove integration enables localized fingertip heating at 29.55°C·s−1 with a thermal relaxation time of approximately 20 s.

Data‐Driven and Physics‐Informed Modeling Perspectives for Soft Manipulators: From SINDy to Hybrid Intelligence

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This Perspective charts the modeling landscape for soft manipulators, spanning sparse system identification, neural dynamics, physics‐informed models and hybrid intelligence. We examine how physics, data, sensing, adaptation and control can assume complementary roles within this landscape, and provide a framework for selecting modeling approaches ...

Synchronization of Analog Neuron Circuits With Digital Memristive Synapses: An Hybrid Approach

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
An hybrid circuit mimicking neural units coupled using memristive synapses is introduced. The analog neurons provide flexibility and robustness, and the digital memristive coupling guarantees the full reconfigurability of the interconnection. The onset of a synchronized spiking behavior in two circuits mimicking the Izhikevich neuron is discussed from ...

Exploiting Temperature Effects for Robust Control and Reference Circuits Using Thin‐Film Contact‐Controlled Transistors

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
Compact circuits based on contact‐controlled transistors are well‐suited to unsupervised thermal management, sensitive temperature measurement, or temperature‐stable current references. Demonstrated on flexible microcrystalline silicon and supported by simulation, the approach does not require supply voltage regulation, remains manufacturable across ...

Pinch Testing Positions Among Certified Hand Therapists: A Cross-Sectional Survey

Open Journal of Occupational Therapy, 2018
Background: Pinch strength is indicative of later functional hand use following injury to hand. However, we believe clinicians (and more specifically CHTs) currently do not use a consistent measurement of pinch grip, despite availability of a “gold ...

Towards Ideal Electron‐Transporting Transistor Characteristics in Polymer Semiconductors in Ambient Air

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
We report a coexistence of a reliability factor of 90% and high electron mobility of 0.6 cm2 V−1 s−1 in FBDPPV‐based n‐type polymer field‐effect transistors. Efficient electron transport in this rigid, coplanar, distortion‐free polymer that induces high mobility and ideal transistor behaviors is supported by efficient intrachain transport and limited ...
