Single‐Layer Cholesteric Liquid Crystal Polymer Films With Visible Broadband Reflection

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
A single‐layer spin‐coated cholesteric liquid crystal polymer film exhibiting broadband reflection across the visible spectrum is demonstrated. By controlling photopolymerization‐induced pitch‐gradient formation, the film achieves low‐scattering broadband reflection, circular polarization selectivity, and compatibility with photolithographic patterning

Soft Robotic Excretory Care Simulator for Nursing Education: Functional and Perceptual Biomimetics Approach

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A soft robotic simulator is developed to replicate the digital removal of feces (DRF), a sensitive yet essential nursing procedure. Integrating soft actuators, sensors, and a realistic rectal model, the simulator balances functional fidelity with perceptual realism. Engineering evaluations and nurse feedback confirm its potential to enhance training in
