Universal Reconfiguration of (Hyper-)cubic Robots

, 2011
We study a simple reconfigurable robot model which has not been previously examined: cubic robots comprised of three-dimensional cubic modules which can slide across each other and rotate about each others' edges.

Record‐High Latent Heat, Ultra‐Fast Relaxation and Closed‐Loop Recycling Double‐Brush Polymer Networks for Self‐Adaptive Thermal Interface Management

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
By grafting dense long double‐brush chains, we synthesized bottlebrush networks with high theoretical enthalpy. Their low entanglement, combined with dynamic bonds, promotes crystalline domain reorganization and minimizes enthalpy loss, achieving a record enthalpy of 240.7 J·g−1.

Directing and reconfiguring colloidal assembly by disclination networks in nematic liquid crystal as templates

Giant
Exotic structures with interesting physical and chemical properties can be achieved by self-organizing engineered building blocks. The central aim for self-assembly is to precisely control the position and orientation of individual building blocks.

Reconfigurable Acoustofluidic Microvortices for Selective Microcargo Delivery

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work introduces a frequency‐encoded, reconfigurable acoustofluidic system that overcomes the low throughput and poor selectivity of conventional micro‐delivery methods. By exploiting discrete microbubble resonances to program adaptive microvortex modes, the platform enables real‐time switching and selective guidance of microscale payloads through ...

Roles and Self-Reconfigurable Robots [PDF]

, 2007
A self-reconfigurable robot is a robotic device that can change its own shape.Self-reconfigurable robots are commonly built from multiple identical modules that canmanipulate each other to change the shape of the robot. The robot can also perform taskssuch as locomotion without changing shape.

Rotary Electromechanical System Integrating Non‐Reciprocal Memory and Combinational Logic

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Rotational bistability, interfaced through a conductive network with switchable contacts, unifies logic operations and mechanical memory within a rotary electromechanical system. The author demonstrates how serially coupled configurations of rotationally bistable modules enable reprogrammable sequential logic governed by mechanical state transition and

Modulation of Network Plasticity Opens Novel Therapeutic Possibilities in Cancer, Diabetes, and Neurodegeneration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Plasticity changes of molecular networks form a cellular learning process. Signaling network plasticity promotes cancer, metastasis, and drug resistance development. 55 plasticity‐related cancer drug targets are listed (20 having already approved drugs, 9 investigational drugs, and 26 being drug target candidates).
