2D Skeletal Muscle Thin Film Actuators Enhance Efficiency of Biohybrid Robots

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
2D skeletal muscle thin film actuators generate millinewton‐scale forces and millimeter‐scale strokes while remaining functional for over 30 days. Their force density is 20‐fold higher than 3D skeletal muscle actuators, enabling multi‐fin robots with tunable speed and multidirectional steering.

Biodegradable 3D‐Printable and Coatable Antifouling Composites for Marine Applications

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Marine biofouling damages submerged surfaces and raises greenhouse gas emissions. Biodegradable antifouling biocomposites were developed by hot‐mixing beeswax, Tween 80, and calcium stearate or stearic acid. Adjusting the component ratio enables processing via hot‐pressing, 3D‐printing, or dip‐coating.

Some characteristics of a propulsive water jet. [PDF]

, 1971
To obtain a high velocity, coherent, propulsive water jet, proper nozzle design is required. Existing high performance nozzles are considered, and a selected design is tested to provide optimization and performance data in the form of velocity and ...

Performance of laser ablation propulsion with a high-repetition rate and high-power laser

AIP Advances, 2022
We investigated the propulsive performance of laser ablation propulsion using a high-power and highly repetitive pulsed laser. We demonstrated 100 shots of burst laser irradiation with an aluminum target using repetition frequencies of 0.017 Hz and 1 kHz.

Unexpected Asymmetric Mn‐Sb Site Mixing and Reentrant Spin‐Glass State of MnSb2Te4

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
MnSb2Te4 is an intrinsic magnetic topological insulator. Its properties are extraordinarily sensitive to tiny defects, making structural studies essential for understanding how magnetism and topology work together. This work shows that Mn can be unevenly distributed within the crystal and how that disorder is linked to a newly reported spin‐glass state
