Untethered Magnetic Microswimmers for Targeted Particle Transport and Flow Manipulation
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.This work introduces magnetically actuated microswimmers to dynamically reconfigure fluid flow within a single microfluidic device. Multiple homogeneous microswimmers are independently controlled by an external magnetic field to perform translational and rotational motions, thereby inducing real‐time flow manipulation.

Light Induced Training of 3D Printed Mechanical Metamaterials
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.A new 3D‐printable material that stiffens under UV light is integrated into the architecture of mechanical metamaterials to realize trainable systems. Local stiffening amplified by rational design enables closed‐loop systems with tunable properties guided by UV irradiation. The resulting structures gradually adapt shape or resistance, demonstrating how

Rotary 4D Printing of Programmable Metamaterials on Sustainable 4D Mandrel
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.The paper introduces open, rotary 4D printing of programmable tubular metamaterials. It presents an open, non‐planar path‐to‐G‐code pipeline and shape‐changing rotary mandrel that enable support‐free fabrication and multi‐stimuli actuation. Experiments and FEA validate the mentioned features and stress redistribution.

Photothermomechanically Efficient, Low‐Cost, High‐Cycle‐Life, Hybrid MXene‐Polymer Actuators
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.The addition of MXenes to elastomer‐plastic‐paper films enables the creation of easily prepared actuators that are scalable for small robotic applications. Known as MXene‐polymer Trilayer Actuators (MPTAs), they bend from UV light. Their usefulness is demonstrated through kirigami‐inspired flower‐shaped art design, parallel manipulator for waveguiding,

From Rigid to Soft Robotic Approaches for Neuroendoscopy
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Robotic assistance has had minimal impact on deep intraventricular surgeries, where small‐scale, precision, and reduced invasiveness can contribute to improved patient outcomes. Emerging technologies in rigid, soft, and hybrid robotics are reviewed to identify the most promising mechanisms for deep brain navigation in addition to an attempt to identify
