Shear‐Isolating Actuation System for Exosuit Using Movable Pulley With Webbing‐Driven Mechanism

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Tendon‐driven exosuits can chafe the skin because the moving tendon slides against the wearer. A shear‐isolating actuation system combining a movable pulley with flat‐profile webbing keeps the body‐contacting tendon layer stationary, relocating relative motion away from the skin. The compact 145‐g actuator delivers 150 N of assistance, and benchtop and

Self‐Sustaining Hybrid Passive Cooler Enabling Highly Effective Thermal Management for Outdoor Electronics

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An innovative hybrid passive cooler integrates a porous radiative coating and an atmospheric moisture‐harvesting hydrogel within a melamine sponge skeleton, synergizing radiative cooling, sensible‐heat absorption, and latent‐heat evaporation. It maintains an average 8.3°C sub‐ambient cooling under sunlight and a maximum ∼42.4°C drop under 2000 W·m−2 ...
