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.

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.

Bio‐Inspired Gradient Coatings Enhance the Leading Edge Erosion Resistance of Wind Blades
Advanced Science, EarlyView.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.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.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 ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Ti substitution stabilizes Co‐free high‐Ni layered oxides through both structural and electronic effects. TiO6 octahedra act as compensatory structural units that help interrupt cooperative Jahn–Teller distortion and suppress detrimental phase transitions, while the electron‐withdrawing inductive effect of Ti stabilizes the oxygen lattice. As a result,

C0-TSDT-FEM for Free Vibration Analysis of Functionally Graded Cylindrical Shells
Applications of Modelling and Simulation, 2023 In this article, natural frequencies of functionally graded (FG) cylindrical shells are calculated by applying the finite element method based on a C0-type of the novel third-order shear deformation theory (TSDT), namely Shi’s theory.
