Liquid Crystal Elastomers Filaments for Adaptive Textiles and Soft Robotics: A Processing‐Centric Review

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Liquid crystal elastomer (LCE) filaments are fabricated through extrusion with in‐process UV curing, enabling controlled flow alignment and network locking of mesogens. The resulting structure responds to thermal or optical stimuli, inducing molecular reorientation and macroscopic contraction.

A Stopped‐Flow Instrument for Millisecond Timescale Reaction Monitoring on a Standard NMR Spectrometer

Magnetic Resonance in Chemistry, EarlyView.
A new stopped‐flow instrument allows kinetic measurements of reactions 10 milliseconds after initiating them by mixing in a flow cell inserted into a standard NMR probe and spectrometer. High‐speed video, pressure and NMR line‐shape data are used to characterise mixing and stopping, and a protodeboronation reaction with a 5‐millisecond half‐life used ...

Multiecho Fat‐Water Spiral MR Elastography With Distributed Encoding for Simultaneously Imaging Brain and Skull Displacement

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose To introduce a novel multiecho, multishot spiral MR elastography (MRE) sequence to image brain and skull displacement simultaneously using a joint fat‐water image reconstruction and distributed motion encoding. Methods Multiple echo times were implemented into a high‐resolution multishot spiral MRE sequence to capture water‐based brain

Exploring the Use and Impact of Composite Materials in Robotics: A Systematic Review

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lightweight and high‐strength materials are important in robotics, as structural design impacts efficiency, payload capacity, and energy consumption. Composite materials, with their superior stiffness‐to‐weight ratios and multifunctional properties, offer clear advantages over conventional metals and polymers.
