Tri‐WOB: A Bistability‐Driven Variable Stiffness Origami Structure for Soft Robotic Arms
Inherent bistability in Waterbomb origami enables the Tri‐WOB to switch between compliant and stiff states. By stacking multiple modules, the robotic arm maintains stiffness without continuous energy input while achieving large contraction, free morphing, and load‐bearing/transportation capability.

In Situ Programmable Modulation of Hydrogel Stiffness for Stage‐Adaptive Bone Regeneration
Near‐infrared (NIR) irradiation triggers Ca2+ release from thermoresponsive nanocarriers, enabling in situ stiffening of an adaptive hydrogel from a soft to a stiff state, thereby sequentially supporting mesenchymal stromal cell stemness and osteogenic differentiation for stage‐adaptive bone regeneration.

Butterfly wing–inspired intrinsically self‐healing polymer interlayers enable flexible perovskite optoelectronics with high luminance, strain‐insensitive stability, and environmental resilience. These hierarchically structured films redistribute mechanical stress, suppress defect formation, and maintain performance under repeated bending, paving the ...

Bio‐Inspired Gradient Coatings Enhance the Leading Edge Erosion Resistance of Wind Blades
Rain‐induced erosion of the wind turbine blade leading edge poses a critical challenge to maintenance and operation. Here, we propose a bio‐inspired approach for erosion protection utilising a platelet‐reinforced polyurethane coating with a graded through‐thickness architecture.

Given that PEEK chest wall implants induce shear force at the soft tissue‐implant interface due to respiratory motion in the early in vivo post‐implantation stage. We confirmed that this mechanical stimulus triggers the PIEZO1/ITGB1/YAP1 signalling axis in L929 and the STAT6/p‐STAT6 pathway in RAW264.7, which in turn mediates adhesion and migration of ...
