Hierarchical Artificial Muscle with Nonlinear Elasticity for Antagonistic and Cyclic Robotics

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We construct hierarchical muscles by plying nylon fibers around a heating wire. The hierarchical muscle shows a J‐shaped passive curve, which shows benefit in antagonistic muscle pair and work accumulation mechanism. We also develop a computational, first‐principle model to understand the physics of both active actuation stroke and passive J‐curve ...

Alkyltransferase Ribozyme for Site‐Specific N4‐Cytidine Alkylation

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
CSAR is the first ribozyme that catalyzes direct alkylation of an exocyclic amino group of an RNA nucleobase. The ribozyme was isolated as a self‐labeling catalyst from an in vitro selection library and engineered into a trans‐active ribozyme that catalyzes the transfer of a benzyl group from an O6‐modifed guanine to the N4 amino group of a specific ...

Comparative in vitro immunoreactivity and protein analysis of Trimeresurus albolabris and Tropidolaemus wagleri venoms

Scientific Reports
Snakebite envenomation remains a significant global health concern, with antivenoms being the primary treatment. However, variations in venom composition can affect antivenom efficacy, leading to differences in immunoreactivity.

The Elephant Trunk Skin Inspires a Highly Sensitive and Deformable, Yet Robust, Armor Skin

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The study presents the elephant trunk‐inspired armor skin with tactile sensing (ETATS). The ETATS architecture stretches and compresses while resisting puncture and tear, and it enables optical detection of pressure and lateral strain. Morphology‐based decoupling of strain and pressure paves the way to sensitive and deformable, yet robust, soft‐robotic

A Universal Approach to Enhancing Silicon Hot‐Carrier Photodetectors for CMOS‐Compatible SWIR Imaging

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Silicon hot‐carrier photodetectors offer a CMOS‐compatible pathway for SWIR detection but suffer from intrinsically low quantum efficiency. Here, we introduce a quasi‐generalized antireflection coating (QARC) that universally enhances optical absorption and quantum efficiency, enabling the first CMOS‐compatible SWIR imaging with silicon hot‐carrier ...

A Worm‐Inspired Origami Robot with Multimodal Locomotion for Adaptive Mobility in Complex Pipeline Environments

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An origami worm‐inspired robot achieves multimodal locomotion in confined pipelines through mechatronic integration that embeds actuation, control, and communication within each origami module. Large, reversible configuration and dimensional changes enable 25 gaits synthesized by a unified framework across peristaltic, inchworm, and wheel‐rolling modes
