MELEGROS: Monolithic Elephant‐Inspired Gripper with Optical Sensors

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
MELEGROS is a monolithic, elephant‐inspired soft gripper integrating 3D‐printed optical sensors within a pneumatically actuated lattice. Simulation‐guided design decouples tactile and proprioceptive sensing. Characterized through grasping tests, MELEGROS can reach, scoop, and grasp, showcasing a paradigm where fully embedded sensing and continuous ...

Microscale Mapping of Fiber Strain and Damage in Composite Wrinkled Laminates Using Computed Tomography Assisted Wide‐Angle X‐Ray Scattering

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study combines full‐field tomography with diffraction mapping to quantify radial (ε002$\varepsilon _{002}$) and axial (ε100$\varepsilon _{100}$) lattice strain in wrinkled carbon‐fiber specimens for the first time. Radial microstrain gradients (−14.5 µεMPa$\varepsilon \mathrm{MPa}$−1) are found to signal damage‐prone zones ahead of failure, which ...

Ambient Stable Triboelectric Nanogenerator Based on Conductive Filler Modified Silicone Rubber with Gas Barrier Encapsulation for Footstep Energy Conversion

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A humidity‐tolerant triboelectric nanogenerator is developed using conductive carbon black‐modified silicone rubber and a flame‐retardant gas barrier layer. The device efficiently harvests footstep energy while maintaining stable output under 30–90% RH and over 1 million cycles.

A Soft, Flexible Implant for Wireless Photothermal–Pyroelectric Neurostimulation

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A replication strategy is used to enlarge the exposed surface area of barium titanate within flexible films with embedded carbon nanotubes, enabling efficient photothermal‐pyroelectric stimulation. Polar crystalline nanosheets show superior performance in guiding neural progenitor cells toward neuronal differentiation.

A Shear Thickening Colloidal Suspension Functioning via Progressive Impact Jamming with Persistent Lubrication Layer

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
An ionic liquid‐based shear‐thickening fluid (ILSTF) exhibits lubricated dynamics from strong shear thickening to impact‐triggered jamming. A persistent nanometric solvation layer around silica governs both the shear thickening saturation in rheology and jamming front propagation under dynamic impact compression.
