Waveguide Photoactuators: Materials, Fabrication, and Applications

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Waveguide photoactuators convert guided light into mechanical motion. Their tethered‐flexible design enables minimally invasive surgery and confined‐space robotics. This review aims to guide materials selection, device design, and system integration, accelerating the transition of waveguide photoactuators from laboratory prototypes to versatile ...

Improving Porosity Calculation Methods and Proposing a New Model Universally Applicable to Large- and Medium-sized Planetary Objects

The Astrophysical Journal
Our work was aimed at the improvement of two main already existing methods of porosity calculation on a planetary scale in order to expand these methods to be applicable to exoplanetary interiors. In addition to implementing some improvements in the used

Origami‐Inspired Structural Design for Aquatic‐Terrestrial Amphibious Robots

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This work presents a lightweight amphibious origami robot actuated by a single shape memory alloy wire. A rigid foldable origami structure with displacement amplification enables efficient terrestrial crawling and aquatic swimming. The addition of fan‐shaped units allows controllable turning in both environments.

Validation Experiments for In Situ Ne Isotope Analysis on Mars: Gas Separation Flange Assembly Using Polyimide Membrane and Metal Seal

The Planetary Science Journal
The Martian atmospheric Ne may reflect recent gas supply from its mantle via volcanic degassing, due to its short (∼100 Myr) escape timescale. The isotopic ratio of the Martian atmospheric Ne would therefore provide insights into that of the Martian ...

FiN‐Kiri: Fabric‐Based Inflatable Kirigami Actuator for Multimodal Soft Robots

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This study introduces a type of inflatable fabric‐based kirigami actuator capable of performing bending motion. The actuator is utilized as soft grippers, a crawling robot and a swimming robot. The crawling robot demonstrated extraordinary motion capabilities, such as moving forward, turning and navigating a narrow tunnel.

Infrared spectroscopy of volcanoes: from laboratory to orbital scale

Frontiers in Earth Science
Understanding the composition, texture, and morphology of volcanic rocks that have erupted at the surface better constrains the eruption style and is vital to infer subsurface processes, the development of magma upon ascent, and the potential for future ...

Divergent Responses of Bacterial Communities to Permafrost Degradation and Their Associations With Carbon Across Vertical Profiles

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Bacterial α‐diversity decreases, but stochasticity and community stability increase across the 15 m‐depth vertical profiles and along the degraded gradient within the active layer. The abundance and interaction of core taxa mainly control community stability in the active and permafrost layers, respectively.
