A Unifying Thermodynamic Model for Phase Separation and Aging of Biopolymers

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Phase separation and aging of intrinsically disordered proteins are placed in a unifying framework. A thermodynamically consistent time‐dependent version of associating‐polymer theory shows how the processes are intricately coupled. Assuming aging to occur through interacting sites resulting from reversible conformational transitions, the model ...

From Folding Mechanics to Robotic Function: A Unified Modeling Framework for Compliant Origami

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A geometry‐consistent DDG framework captures compliant origami deformation from rigid‐like folding to soft panel bending. By tuning crease and panel stiffness, bistable snap‐through responses transform into smooth monostable deformation, enabling programmable stability and robot‐scale locomotion.

Interpretation of the stiffness and permeability of Sand-Kaolin mixtures in the framework of homogenization

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2010
This study deals with the behaviour of mixtures of sand and saturated kaolin paste considered as composite materials made of permeable and deformable (with non-linear behaviour) matrix (the kaolin paste) with rigid and impervious inclusions (the sand ...

Stochastic Entanglement of Deterministic Origami Tentacles For Robust Robotic Grasping

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study introduces an origami tentacle gripper to robustly grasp objects‐in air, underwater, and even in orbital space‐by exploiting a synergy between local, deterministic deformation programming and global, stochastic entanglements. A single origami tentacle can be designed to coil with a simple tendon pull.

Chemical‐Biological Fixation for Enhanced Bone Augmentation in Guided Bone Regeneration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
M2N2ACa is an innovative injectable thermoresponsive barrier membrane adhesive to achieve reliable bone graft fixation. It provides strong wet adhesion and promotes the bio‐stabilization mediated by coagulation through controlled calcium release. This dual‐fixation strategy combines external chemical fixation and internal biological fixation via clot ...

Heat‐Suppressing Projection Two‐Photon Lithography Enables High‐Throughput Sub‐Micrometer Manufacturing of Biopolymer Hydrogels for Tissue Engineering

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The iLEAP technique integrates high‐throughput two‐photon lithography with extrusion printing, bridging sub‐micrometer precision and macroscopic scaffold fabrication. By employing a low‐exothermic photoinitiator, it mitigates thermal damage to biopolymers and preserves bioactivity.

Architecture‐Engineered Semi‐Crystalline Microporous Polymer Membranes for Precise Molecular Separation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Guided by a Random Forest model, a π–π‐driven ordered stacking strategy deploys functionally distinct substructures to restrict chain segment motion and increase free volume, while preserving the intermolecular interactions that maintain structural integrity.

Root‐Inspired Microneedle Patch With Interlocked Rigid‐Soft Architecture for High Tissue‐Adaptiveness

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A root‐inspired microneedle array patch uses lattice‐based mechanical interlocking to unite rigid microneedles with a flexible substrate. The interlocked rigid–soft architecture improves interfacial bonding, supports stable adhesion on curved and wet tissues under dynamic motion, and provides a versatile platform for robust biointerfacing and future ...

A Tert‐Alkyl Terephthalate Derivative as a Universal Degradable Unit for Condensation Polymers

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A sterically bulky dicarboxylic acid core bearing a tertiary alkyl ester enables photocatalytic C─O bond cleavage via generation of a stabilized tertiary alkyl radical. Incorporated into polyarylate, polyurethane, and polyester, this universal trigger facilitates efficient degradation under identical conditions (up to 99% within 2–4 h). Remarkably, the

AJOP-T: A High-Order Hardening Law for Continuous Teardrop Bounding Surface Plasticity

Mathematics
Soft-ground finite-element analyses commonly reduce curved Oedometer compression to one constant slope, obscuring where stress-level curvature affects boundary-value predictions.
