Double Helix Structure for Stable Flexural Actuation in Soft Robotics
This work introduces a double‐helical architecture for soft robotic actuators that enhances twisting resistance, increases output force, and minimizes undesired deformation. Actuators driven by shape‐memory alloy wires exhibit a roughly fivefold higher torsional/flexural stiffness ratio and 50% greater force output.

Comparative Analysis of Model‐Agnostic Explanation Methods in Materials Science
To address the critical lack of explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) benchmarks in materials science, we present a quantitative and qualitative analysis of six XAI methods applied to molecular fingerprints. Our results reveal significant discrepancies in feature importance rankings, demonstrating that the chosen explanation approach introduces ...

Lost in aggregation? On the importance of local food price data for food poverty estimates
Abstract This paper explores within‐country variations in food price dynamics and food poverty estimates by employing local market price data and national consumer price index (CPI) data. Our results show that national CPI data may be useful for approximating national trends but they fail to detect and identify spatial variations in local trends, which
