Origami‐Inspired Structural Design for Aquatic‐Terrestrial Amphibious Robots

open access: yesAdvanced 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.

Evolutionary Landscapes and Resurfacing Processes of Planetary Surfaces

open access: yes
Geomorphology is the study of features on the surface of Earth and other planetary bodies. It is an important tool to study the evolution of solar system bodies, and how they relate to what we know about Earth.

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

open access: yesAdvanced 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.

High-temperature He+ Irradiation of Low-iron-bearing Olivine: Laboratory Simulations of Space Weathering on Mercury

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
The surface of Mercury is highly space weathered, and the products of space weathering are different than on the Moon. Here we simulate the interaction of solar wind ions with the surface of Mercury by implanting low-iron-bearing (∼3 wt% Fe) olivine ...

In Vivo Microplastic Detection With Photoacoustic Imaging

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Microplastics are posing an escalating threat to both ecological systems and human health. Yet, current methods for investigating their bioaccumulation are highly invasive, requiring destructive analysis of ex vivo tissues via mass spectrometry, dye labelling, or Raman microspectroscopy.
