Emergent Locomotion in Self‐Sustained, Mechanically Connected Soft Matter Ringsf
Thermally fueled, self‐moving twisted rings made from liquid crystal elastomers are investigated. By studying single rings and linked knots, it is shown how autonomous locomotion emerges through coupling between the rings. The movement is programmable via handedness control at connection points, offering insights into collective behavior and ...

Multi‐Scale Modeling of a 3D Soft Magnetoelectric Patch for Wireless Nerve Stimulation
Core‐shell, magnetoelectric nanoparticles (MENPs) can serve as wireless electric nano‐sources, thanks to their ability to generate high levels of electricity, when stimulated by a human‐safe external magnetic field. By combining MENPs with soft, biocompatible polymeric matrices and optimizing its composite configuration and electrical behavior via ...

Connecting Droplet Adhesion with Sperm Kinematics: A New Paradigm in Sperm Quality Monitoring
This study demonstrates direct experimental evidence to establish a nonintuitive connection between the motion characteristics of self‐propelled sperm cells and their surface interaction. Simultaneous motion visualization and cantilever‐deflection‐based adhesion characterization reveal that sperm‐cell droplets with higher motility exhibit lower surface

Alignment, Rising, Sticking, and Phototaxis: Modulating the Behavior of Hematite Micropeanuts
Although a rich variety of behaviors, such as rising and phototaxis, are observed with light‐activated semiconductor microparticles, the experimental conditions under which such behaviors occur have not been elucidated. In this study, pH, fuel concentration, and light intensity are varied, revealing diverse behaviors of hematite microparticles.
