Vine‐Inspired Soft Robotics: Materials, Actuations, and Emerging Applications

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Vine‐inspired robots grow from the tip, enabling navigation through confined spaces with minimal disturbance. This Review summarizes material and actuation strategies for vine‐inspired growth, key functions including steering, retraction, attachment, branching, and variable stiffness, and emerging applications spanning medical intervention, confined ...

New design tools for lightweight aerospace structures [PDF]

, 2004
This paper presents two new design tools for lightweight aerospace structures. The first tool is the Tailored Fibre Placement (TFP) design tool TACO. It is used to optimize the fibre orientations of structures made of Carbon Fibre Reinforcement Plastics (

Sea Cucumber‐Inspired Double‐Network Biopolymer Hydrogels for Programmable Soft Machines

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Inspired by the mutable dermis of sea cucumbers, the collagen‐alginate double‐network elastomeric (CoDE) hydrogel achieves programmable, recoverable, and functional mechanical behavior. The CoDE hydrogel mimics the mutable stiffness of the sea cucumber dermis through a densified collagen cryogel scaffold that is secondarily reinforced by a dissipative,

Enhancing Specific Stiffness of Nano‐Architected Materials Through Generative AI and Active Learning

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A structure‐centric generative framework searches voxelated design space directly, coupling a variational autoencoder with multi‐objective optimization and active learning to progressively expand the validated design domain. The discovered nano‐architectures, realized as pyrolytic carbon by two‐photon lithography, deliver 18–23% higher stiffness and 26–

Sustainable Hydrogel‐Forming Microneedle‐Reservoir Patches for Transdermal Delivery of Hydrophilic Macromolecules: Biopolymers, Green Manufacturing and Translation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Hydrogel‐forming microneedle (HFMN)‐reservoir patches provide a modular route for controlled transdermal delivery of hydrophilic biomacromolecules. The platform integrates skin‐barrier penetration, sustainable biopolymers, scalable green manufacturing, hydration‐driven transport, model‐cargo validation, and translational quality requirements.
