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

A biocompatible hydrogel coating with tissue‐like mechanics and reversible dissolution triggered by a mild, physiologically compatible temperature drop (≈37°C → ≈25°C) was developed for the transient encapsulation of implantable devices. The physically crosslinked methylcellulose, polyethylene glycol and polyacrilic acid (MC/PEG/PAA) hydrogel ...

Growth‐Like Swelling of 2D Precursors for Efficient Fabrication of Complex 3D Microstructures
The growth‐like swelling process fills photocured polymers into the elastomeric microstructures, inducing a significant swelling deformation of microstructures that can be maintained in the absence of solvents. The growth‐like swelling process breaks through the dependence of swelling deformation on the solvents, thereby expanding the application of 3D
