A Thickness‐Invariant Origami Robot With Integrated Actuation and Multimodal Locomotion

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A thickness‐invariant variation on the Yoshimura origami pattern is used as the basis of a robot, allowing power, actuation, and control systems to be embedded within the thickened panels of the pattern. The robot uses multiple kinematic branches to achieve distinct modes of locomotion, such as walking, running, galloping, and turning. ABSTRACT Origami

Mechanically Reprogrammed Coaxial Fibers for Multiphysics Transduction and Human‐Machine Interfaces

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A continuously wet‐spun coaxial fiber is developed to combine stretchable conductivity, resistive sensing, and self‐powered triboelectric sensing in a single architecture. A mechanically reprogrammed dual‐network sheath stabilizes large deformation and improves signal reliability. These fibers can be woven into textile interfaces for multichannel touch

Programmable Information Processing With Reconfigurable Self‐Contact Variable Stiffness Mechanical Metamaterial

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Reconfigurable self‐contact variable stiffness metamaterials based on shape memory polymers enable programmable stiffness switching. Static arrays store and encrypt information with immunity to electromagnetic interference, while asymmetric stiffness converts symmetric vibration into directional matter transport.

Circadian‐Inspired Hydrogel Moisture Electricity Generation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A circadian‐inspired hydrogel moisture‐electric generator enables sustainable electricity generation by autonomously current direction switching between daytime and nighttime. This reversible output is accompanied by inversion of the internal water gradient, which effectively reduce hydrogel fatigue and offers a new strategy for harvesting diurnal ...
