3D Printed Meter‐Scale Soft Origami Robots Capable of Load‐Bearing Actuation Via Crease Stiffness Modulation

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Origami has inspired numerous soft deployable mechanisms for safe human‐robot interaction, while its intrinsic kinematic instability at arbitrary configurations limited their practical robotic application. This work presents a 3D printed meter‐scale origami robotic actuator capable of load‐bearing deformation through creaseline stiffness modulation.

When the River Runs Low: Heterogeneous Impacts of Transportation Disruptions on Local Grain Basis

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A substantial share of U.S. soybean and corn exports from the Midwest moves by barge along the Mississippi River system to export terminals in the Louisiana Gulf. Transportation costs between Midwestern grain elevators and export terminals create a wedge between prices at these locations, and shocks to these costs are partially passed on to ...

Holographic Mapping of Orbital Angular Momentum using a Terahertz Diffractive Optical Neural Network

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
A compact six‐layer diffractive optical neural network enables direct recognition and spatial mapping of terahertz (THz) orbital angular momentum (OAM) beams. Fabricated by 3D printing, the system distinguishes nine OAM modes and their superpositions with high fidelity, good efficiency, and low crosstalk, offering a scalable solution for THz ...

Prediction‐Guided Two‐Step Solid‐State Exploration of Unknown Pseudo‐Ternary Oxides

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
Prediction‐guided selection combined with two‐step solid‐state exploration enables efficient search of unknown pseudo‐ternary oxides. Broad robotic slurry screening followed by manual single‐phase isolation leads to the discovery of a new oxide, Ba5SnV6O22, showing how data‐guided experiments connect unexplored composition regions to new materials ...

Scalable ω‐Substituted α‐Olefins via Living Chain Transfer Telomerization: A Platform for Next Generation Polyolefins

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A highly versatile and general strategy is presented for the scalable production of practical quantities of ω‐substituted α‐olefins using tris(ω‐substituted alkyl)aluminum telogens that are readily available through a “green” synthesis from commodity triisobutylaluminum and ethene as the taxogen. These new α‐olefins can be designed and used as monomers
