Enabling Metal‐Based Soft Robotics Through Investment Casting

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Vacuum investment casting enables manufacturing of compliant soft robotic structures out of AA7075 high‐strength aluminum alloy. Additively manufactured patterns are converted into metal soft robotic structures addressing long lasting challenges like durability and nonlinearity of elastomer‐based soft robotics.

Digital Surface‐Enhanced Raman Scattering With Event Counting and Spectrum Learning for Label‐Free Protein Quantification

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A statistical and machine learning‐assisted surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) framework is developed for label‐free quantification of low‐abundance analytes, including proteins. Combining digital SERS event counting with binomial regression and an artificial neural network (ANN) trained on full spectra, the approach achieves picomolar detection ...

CNC–PNIPAM Drug Delivery System Improves Endometrial Receptivity via Natural Killer Cell Immune Tolerance in Endometriosis

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
An injectable CNC–PNIPAM hydrogel is developed for intrauterine co‐delivery of levonorgestrel and botropase. This platform reprograms uterine natural killer cells toward an immune–tolerant phenotype and enhances endometrial receptivity marker expression. The results demonstrate a promising strategy to counteract endometriosis–associated infertility and
