A Soft Robotic Device for Targeted Massage Therapy of Residual Limbs

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Residual limb edema after amputation can hinder recovery and delay prosthetic fitting. This study presents a soft‐robotic wearable device that delivers sequential compression through pneumatic McKibben actuators. By replicating the principles of manual lymphatic drainage, the device generates controlled mechanotherapeutic pressure patterns, providing a

Absorption‐Dominant Electromagnetic Interference Shielding of Ti3C2Tx MXene‐Coated and Fe3O4‐Integrated TPMS Composites with Coupled Gradient Conductivity and Size‐Graded Structure

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A functionally driven variable‐cell size and gradient‐conductive coated TPMS structure was developed. Accordingly, stepwise longitudinal gradient impedance was realized, achieving absorption‐dominant EMI shielding (absorptivity≈0.85) with an EMI SET of ≈ 59 dB, for 10 mm‐thick composites. Further increasing the thickness of composites to 20 mm achieved

Beyond Cartilage‐Inspired Supramolecular Polyurethane for Adaptive Impact‐Resistant Protection with Robustness, Self‐Healing, and Recyclability

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Cartilage‐inspired supramolecular polyurethane–urea (PU‐BAMB) elastomers are developed by integrating hierarchical hydrogen bonding and π–π stacking interactions within a dynamically reconfigurable network. This synergistic supramolecular architecture overcomes the intrinsic trade‐off between rigidity and recoverability, imparting exceptional toughness,
