Heterogeneous Wettability‐Based Construction of Two‐Phase Interfaces for Underwater Reversible Adhesion

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The design employs heterogeneous wettability surfaces that construct stable oil‐water interfaces to achieve robust and rapid reversible adhesion. Linear enhancement of adhesion strength is realized through multi‐interface patterning. This adhesive enables rapid on‐demand detachment within five seconds via voltage‐induced electrolysis, offering a level ...

Critters in the Workplace: Bedbugs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Unfortunately, critter infestations do exist in the workplace and people tend not to want to talk about them. All kinds of workplaces have had problems or infestations: hotels, hospitals, office buildings, department stores, and TV studios, as well as ...

Pellet Printing for Soft Robotic Devices

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Fused Granulate Fabrication (FGF) is established here as a reliable method for fabricating soft, airtight robotic devices. Through coordinated optimization of hardware, material selection, and process parameters, this approach enables high‐speed printing of thermoplastic elastomers with silicone‐like softness and modulus.

Solid‐Like yet Reconfigurable 3D‐Printed Liquid Tubular Wires From Nonconductive Molecules

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This work shatters the current reliance of liquid electronics on intrinsically conductive materials by introducing a novel interfacial redox strategy that transforms non‐conductive molecules into high‐performance, 3D liquid tubular wires with solid‐like electrical properties and exceptional reconfigurability. It opens a vast design space for all‐liquid

Pressure-drop reduction by oil-infused spacers

open access: yesJournal of Membrane Science Letters
This study explores oil-infused polydimethylsiloxane (iPDMS) feed spacers designed to reduce pressure drop in spiral-wound membrane (SWM) modules. While crucial for structural support and fouling mitigation, conventional feed spacers increase pressure ...

G-300: The first French Getaway Special microgravity measurements of fluid thermal conductivity [PDF]

open access: yes
Thermal conductivity measurements on liquids are difficult to perform on Earth because of thermal motions due to convection. In microgravity, the convection due to buoyancy is evanescent, and a strong reduction of Rayleigh and Nusselt numbers can be ...

Miniaturized 3D Magnetic Force Sensor via Laser‐Assisted Folding and Magnetization for Enhanced Robotic Dexterity

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
To achieve 3D force sensing in confined spaces such as fingertips, we developed a laser‐assisted folding and magnetization method to fabricate miniature films with precise centripetal magnetization. The resulting compact sensor delivers high force resolution, rapid response, and long‐term stability, significantly enhancing the manipulation capabilities

Temporal Interference Stimulation Enhances Neural Regeneration

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Temporal interference (TI) stimulation is proposed as a non‐invasive approach to enhance neural regeneration in the deep brain. Theta‐band TI modulation selectively promotes neural progenitor cell differentiation in vitro and augments hippocampal neurogenesis in amouse model of Alzheimer's disease‐like amyloidosis.
