A low‐cost, self‐driving laboratory is developed to democratize autonomous materials discovery. Using this "frugal twin" hardware architecture with Bayesian optimization, the platform rapidly converges to target lower critical solution temperature (LCST) values while self‐correcting from off‐target experiments, demonstrating an accessible route to data‐

Harnessing Digital Microstructure for Simulation‐Guided Optimization of Permanent Magnets
An experimental‐to‐computational workflow is presented that transforms experimental 3D focused ion beam‐scanning electron microscopy data into a simulation‐ready digital microstructure for multiphase functional materials. Using heavy‐rare‐earth‐free Nd–Fe–B magnets as a model system, the approach quantifies grain connectivity across complex secondary ...

Modeling and Characterization of a Self‐Sensing Soft Hydraulic Muscle
This article presents the self‐sensing soft hydraulic muscle (SSHM), a novel soft actuator capable of simultaneously sensing force and length without external sensors. A comprehensive model accurately predicts SSHM behavior, validated experimentally with minimal errors. Using propylene glycol enhances durability and reduces hysteresis.

Tailoring Electronic Properties of Precision Graphene Nanoribbons via Nanopore Engineering
Novel porous graphene nanoribbons incorporating [18]annulene nanopores, together with a nonporous GNR of identical width, have been synthesized. Spectroscopic and theoretical analyses reveal that nanopore incorporation effectively tunes their electronic properties by enlarging the bandgap, reducing charge‐carrier mobility, and modulating exciton ...
