Flexible and Scalable 2D/3D Tin‐Based Perovskite Photodetectors via Inkjet Printing

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Lead‐free tin‐based perovskite films are successfully fabricated via scalable inkjet printing on rigid and flexible substrates. Incorporating high‐purity precursors and dual‐layer encapsulation minimizes defects and eliminates oxidation. The resulting photodetectors demonstrate high responsivity, persistent photoconductivity, and excellent 30 day ...

Soft Robotic Excretory Care Simulator for Nursing Education: Functional and Perceptual Biomimetics Approach

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A soft robotic simulator is developed to replicate the digital removal of feces (DRF), a sensitive yet essential nursing procedure. Integrating soft actuators, sensors, and a realistic rectal model, the simulator balances functional fidelity with perceptual realism. Engineering evaluations and nurse feedback confirm its potential to enhance training in

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.
