How Does a Delicate Insect Wing Resist Damage? Chitin Orientation Is Adapted to the Mechanical Demands at the Nanoscale

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Nanoscale chitin fiber orientations in the insect wing play a critical role in adapting to complex mechanical demands. These findings reveal two distinct and functionally adaptive chitin orientation patterns in the membranes that vary regionally, optimizing mechanical resilience and deformation control.

Subvoxel Control of Fiber Orientation via Multidirectional Shearing in 3D Printing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A novel 3D printing technique enables subvoxel control of fiber orientation in all three directions through multidirectional shearing using nozzle rotation and inclination. It allows localized and tunable mechanical and thermal responses through programmable microstructures within a strand.

Gecko‐Inspired Adhesive for Robotic Grippers with Excellent Ultra‐Low‐Temperature Adhesion Performance

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Phenyl and vinyl groups are used to modify conventional polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) to yield poly(methylphenylvinylsiloxane) (PMPVS). PMPVS‐based gecko‐inspired arrays with mushroom tips exhibit superior adhesion strength of 36.7 kPa even at −80 °C, which enhances by 5143% compared to PDMS‐based arrays (0.7 kPa at −70 °C).
