Dead Matter, Living Machines: Repurposing Crustaceans' Abdomen Exoskeleton for Bio‐Hybrid Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Crustacean exoskeletons, repurposed from food waste, are engineered into sustainable bending actuators combining biotic structure with synthetic control. The augmented exoskeletons achieve rapid and robust motion with lightweight body and can be used as part of robotic manipulators, grippers and swimmers.

A Tangentially Sensitive Tactile Sensor Reveals the Stick‐Slip Mechanism and Enhances Robotic Tactile Sensing

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
An ultralight, multilayer anisotropic tactile sensor—an artificial Pacinian corpuscle—exhibits ultrahigh tangential sensitivity (1022 kPa−1) and spatiotemporal sensing. It discriminates static, sliding, and rolling contacts, detects incipient stick–slip via high‑frequency signatures, and enhances robotic touch (100%/98.18% accuracy for active/passive ...

Gradient Ion Beams Regulate Surface Group Modification to Enhance Interfacial Charge Transport in Triboelectric Polymers

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study addresses the core scientific question of atomic‐scale structural units and their assembly mechanisms by integrating ion implantation technology— originally developed in nuclear physics research—with flexible intelligent polymers. Through this interdisciplinary approach, we have enabled on‐demand customization of surface functionalities and ...

Polystyrene Microplastics Exposure Aggravates Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma Progression via the NF‐κB and TGF‐β Signaling Pathways

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This research provides the first comprehensive evidence that PS‐MPs exacerbate ccRCC progression by activating the NF‐κB and TGF‐β pathways. These findings establish PS‐MPs as an environmental risk factor for ccRCC progression and identify the NF‐κB and TGF‐β signaling as potential therapeutic targets to mitigate the adverse effects of ‐PS‐MPs exposure.

An Optically Transparent Water‐Based Metamaterial Absorber for Ultra‐Broadband EMI Shielding in Coal Mines

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study introduces a novel metamaterial absorber integrating water as a lossy medium with patterned indium tin oxide (ITO) films to achieve simultaneous optical transparency and ultra‐wideband electromagnetic absorption over 0.52‐40 GHz. It effectively overcomes the limitations of conventional opaque and bulky shielding materials, offering a ...
