Stiffness‐Programmable Origami Robots With Tendon‐Driven Actuation via Multimaterial 3D Printing
Motion diversity is achieved in a tendon‐driven origami robot through programmable stiffness rather than modified actuation. Multimaterial 3D printing embeds soft creases, modular inserts redirect identical tendon inputs into distinct behaviors, and variable‐stiffness inserts enable real‐time switching.

Robotics in Ionizing Radiation Environments: Vulnerabilities, Hardening, and Future Directions
Radiation exposure causes cumulative degradation in robotic sensors, actuators, and electronic logic, often leading to undetected failures. This study maps component vulnerabilities, evaluates hardening and shielding strategies, and identifies testing gaps that must be addressed to enable next‐generation radiation‐tolerant robotic systems.

Oxygen vacancy migration is a key degradation mechanism for the majority of MLCCs. There are limitations with spatially identifying regions of a capacitor that have degraded due to oxygen vacancy migration. This work showcases ultrasonic attenuation as a non‐electrical and nondestructive technique of identifying oxygen vacancy degraded regions of an ...

Magnetic and Electric Properties of Magneto polymer Composites
Permeability spectra of MnZn ferrite composite materials, prepared by mixing ferrite particles with PVC, have been studied. As the ferrite filler content decreases in composite, the quasistatic permeability of the rotation component decreases and ...

This work presents a computational–experimental strategy to engineer material‐binding peptides toward polymer specificity. Molecular dynamics simulations identified residues driving polystyrene binding, enabling targeted substitutions that greatly reduced polystyrene affinity while preserving PET binding.

Experimental PVC Material Challenge in Subjects with Occupational PVC Exposure
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) materials have been linked to asthma in several epidemiologic studies, but the possible causal factors remain unknown.We challenged 10 subjects experimentally to degraded PVC products under controlled conditions. All of the subjects had previously experienced respiratory symptoms suspected to be caused by this kind of exposure ...
