Bioinspired Soft‐Skeleton Robotics With Cooperative Shape Transformation and Stiffness Adaptation

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A bioinspired soft‐skeleton robot that integrates variable‐stiffness chain skeletons into a soft textile skin is developed. The chain skeletons are highly flexible initially but can stiffen upon pneumatic actuation, enabling large deformation and enhanced load‐bearing capacity.

Chemoenzymatic Radiosynthesis of a Gluconate Transporter‐Targeted In Vivo Bacterial Sensor From Clinical [18F]FDG

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
An efficient radiosynthesis of fluorine‐18 labeled gluconic acid ([18F]FGA) was developed using two readily available materials, 2‐deoxy‐2‐[18F]fluoro‐D‐glucose ([18F]FDG) and glucose oxidase. [18F]FGA is highly specific for bacterial gluconate metabolism mediated by gluconate permease (GntP) and gluconate kinase (GntK), with rapid clearance, low off ...

A Superstrong and Ultratough Stretchable Electronic Conductor With Ultradurable Strain‐Insensitive Electromechanical Performance

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We report a superstrong, ultratough, and fatigue‐resistant stretchable electronic conductor (SEC) integrating a viscoplastic quasi‐solid LM‐Ag alloy with a supramolecular elastomer. Unlike conventional LM, the alloy exhibits thixotropic flow, reduced surface tension, and enhanced interfacial interactions with the elastomer.
