Breaking the Surface: Buoyant Metal–Polymer Open–Cell Hybrid Lattice Metamaterials
Open‐cell metal–polymer lattice metamaterials that defy sinking. (a) Injection process of the polyurethane (PU) foam into the titanium (Ti‐6Al‐4V) hollow‐strut lattice creating the open‐cell Ti‐6Al‐4V+PU hybrid lattice, (b) flotation test of a hybrid lattice specimen, and (c) a digital representation and experimental validation of a marine buoy ...

Ionic Gating of Liquid‐Crystal‐Like Pteridine Assemblies Enables Tunable Light Scattering
Tunable optical properties emerge through developmentally regulated ionic gating, which transforms disordered, ultraviolet (UV)‐absorbing organelles into concentrically ordered, liquid‐crystal‐like light scatterers. By integrating analyses of pteridine composition, potassium‐dependent assembly, hierarchical ultrastructure, and optical behavior, the ...

Breaking Bottlenecks in Solid Electrolyte Discovery With Large Artificial Intelligence Models
Large AI models are presented as a route to break key bottlenecks in solid electrolyte discovery by linking materials databases, machine‐learning interatomic potentials, large language models, and autonomous experiments. This perspective highlights how AI can accelerate the identification of solid electrolytes with fast ion transport, stable interfaces,

Microfabrication of Soft Millirobots Propelled by Low Voltage Electrohydraulic Actuators
Manual layer‐by‐layer assembly is replaced by wafer‐level MEMS batch fabrication for compliant polymer‐based electrohydraulic actuators. The microfabricated devices integrate sacrificially defined microcavities, Parylene‐C‐sealed inlets, and multilayer polymer–metal films.

Microscale 3D‐Printed Digital Strain Switches for Embedded Mechanical Computation
Microscale 3D‐printed strain switches on flexible films convert deformation into native digital signals at geometry defined thresholds. A closed form model predicts switching from 3000 to 15 000 microstrain and is validated across 110 devices. Reliable ohmic closure and strain activated AND, OR, and XOR logic point toward low‐power mechanical ...

Automated poultry processing lines still rely on humans to lift slippery, easily bruised carcasses onto a shackle conveyor. Deformability, anatomical variance, and hygiene rules make conventional suction and scripted motions unreliable. We present ChicGrasp, an end‐to‐end hardware‐software co‐designed imitation learning framework, to offer a ...

A Transnasal Endoscope for Robotically Assisted Gastroscopy
This work introduces a 4.25 mm diameter magnetically navigated transnasal endoscope for upper gastrointestinal (GI) screening and intervention. The system enables precise remote steering throughout the upper GI tract and is demonstrated through in vitro and in vivo experiments, including the robotic execution of preprogrammed retroflexions, trans ...

Physical Origin of Temperature Induced Activation Energy Switching in Electrically Conductive Cement
The temperature‐induced Arrhenius activation energy switching phenomenon of electrical conduction in electrically conductive cement originates from structural degradation within the biphasic ionic‐electronic conduction architecture and shows percolation‐governed characteristics: pore network opening dominates the low‐percolation regime with downward ...

Attomolar Detection of HIV‐1 With Label‐Free RCA‐rCRISPR on Smartphone
A new diagnostic strategy integrating rolling circle amplification (RCA) with a plasmid reporter–based ratiometric CRISPR (rCRISPR) system was developed to detect unfragmented HIV genomes with single‐digit attomolar sensitivity. The method quantifies targets using the plasmid relaxation ratio and employs a smartphone‐based mini‐gel device to enable ...
