Stiffness‐Programmable Origami Robots With Tendon‐Driven Actuation via Multimaterial 3D Printing

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Motion diversity is achieved in a tendon‐driven origami robot through programmable stiffness rather than modified actuation. Multimaterial 3D printing embeds soft creases, modular inserts redirect identical tendon inputs into distinct behaviors, and variable‐stiffness inserts enable real‐time switching.

Most High-density Exoplanets Are Unlikely to Be Remnant Giant Planet's Cores

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Some exoplanets have much higher densities than expected from stellar abundances of planet-forming elements. There are two theories—metal-rich formation hypothesis and naked core hypothesis—that explain how formation and evolution can alter the ...

Flexible Sensors for Robotics Tactile Perception: A Review

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Flexible tactile sensing for robotics is reviewed through four interconnected dimensions. Physical mechanisms include piezoresistive, capacitive, piezoelectric, triboelectric, iontronic, and optical sensing. Structural design includes bioinspired, defect‐based, and MEMS‐based tactile systems.

Recent advances in the interior structure of the gas giants

地球与行星物理论评
Jupiter and Saturn, as the gas giants of our solar system, account for over 90% of the total mass beyond the Sun and hold most of the system's angular momentum, playing a crucial role in the early history of the solar system.

Intrinsic Dual‐Phase Regulated GeSe2 Nanoparticles Triggered by Ball‐Milling Treatment for Photonic Multi‐Valued Logic Circuits

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We report the solid‐state ball milling, a traditional, reliable, mass‐productive material processing, to prepare the air‐stable and dual‐phase GeSe2‐x nanoparticles with extended photodetection feasibility toward optical‐wavelength regions. We further display photonic multi‐valued logic (MVL) circuit through the employment of a hybrid PMMA/GeSe2‐x ...

Stable Stratification of the Helium Rain Layer Yields Vastly Different Interiors and Magnetic Fields for Jupiter and Saturn

The Planetary Science Journal
At sufficiently high pressures (∼Mbar) and low temperatures (∼10 ^3 –10 ^4 K), hydrogen and helium become partly immiscible. Interpretations of Jupiter’s and Saturn’s magnetic fields favor the existence of a statically stable layer near the Mbar pressure

Kresling Origami‐Based Metamaterial Robot for Dynamic Electromagnetic Control

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A reconfigurable metamaterial system integrates deformable origami units with high‐permittivity ceramic plates. Pneumatic switching between structural states alters local resonance conditions, enabling dynamic radar stealth and adaptive microwave reflection for mobile communication.

Orbital dynamics of high area-to-mass ratio spacecraft with J2 and solar radiation pressure for novel Earth observation and communication services [PDF]

, 2012
This paper investigates the effect of planetary oblateness and solar radiation pressure on the orbits of high area-to-mass spacecraft. A planar Hamiltonian model shows the existence of equilibrium orbits with the orbit apogee pointing towards or away ...

Effect of a Surficial Porous Brittle Layer on the Dynamics and Equilibrium Thickness of Europa’s Ice Shell

The Planetary Science Journal
Tectonic and cryovolcanic features on Europa suggest a dynamically active ice shell with a highly deformable near-surface brittle layer. Shell thickness estimates based on geological interpretation and thermal modeling vary from 10 km to more than 30 km.
