Collision‐Resilient Winged Drones Enabled by Tensegrity Structures

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Based on structures of birds such as the woodpeck, this article presents the collision‐resilient aerial robot, SWIFT. SWIFT leverages tensegrity structures in the fuselage and wings which allow it to undergo large deformations in a crash, without sustaining damage. Experiments show that SWIFT can reduce impact forces by 70% over conventional structures.

Nanoscale Mapping of the Subcellular Glycosylation Landscape

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Using multiplexed super‐resolution imaging with fluorophore‐labeled lectins, this study reports intracellular glycosylation at the nanoscale across organelles and synaptic specializations. Extending glycan analysis beyond the cell surface, Glyco‐STORM reveals distinct glycosylation nanodomains in the ER, Golgi, lysosomes, and synaptic sites.

MXene/Carboxymethyl Chitosan Moisture Responsive Soft Actuator with Diode‐Like Actuation for Versatile Applications Driven by Human Metabolism

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A MXene‐based actuator with gradient thickness is fabricated by a novel and simple vacuum‐assisted “tilt‐filtration” approach. The actuator exhibits a “diode‐like” controllable unidirectional deformation behavior under moisture gradient, and its deformation direction is strictly correlated to its thickness gradient direction and moisture source ...
