Soft Mechanical‐Electrical Logic Using Liquid Metal‐Filled 3D‐Printed Architectures
Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 15, 5 August 2026.We present 3D‐printed soft mechanical–electrical logic elements that use liquid metal–filled silicone tubes actuated by thermoplastic polyurethane/polylactic acid (TPU/PLA) architectures to produce Boolean operations. Complementary normally open and normally closed unit cells perform repeatable binary transitions and can be combined into more complex ...

Flexible intervention workflow for MRI guided robotic prostate seed brachytherapy
Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.Abstract Background Low‐dose‐rate prostate seed brachytherapy (BT) is an established guideline‐conformal treatment option for low‐risk prostate cancer. Precise seed placement is essential for achieving adequate dose coverage while minimizing exposure of surrounding healthy tissue.

A Novel Decellularized Fibrocartilage Graft Promotes Tympanic Membrane Repair
Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 15, Issue 29, 7 August 2026.An off‐the‐shelf decellularized porcine meniscus fibrocartilage graft (MEND) is engineered for pediatric tympanoplasty. Featuring a microchannel architecture that promotes host cell invasion, MEND rapidly closes tympanic membrane perforations and fully remodels in vivo, outperforming fascia and matching cartilage grafts while avoiding donor‐site ...

Space‐Time Coding Conformal Metasurfaces for Multifrequency Beam Steering and Shaping
Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 45, 13 August 2026.Space‐time coding conformal metasurfaces enable dynamic wave control on curved surfaces by combining programmable spatial patterns with temporal modulation. This study shows that a single conformal aperture can independently manipulate multiple frequency components, achieving multifunctional beam shaping and steering, with implications for ...
