Mechanical Flexibility Enables DNA Origami to Overcome Steric Confinement in Mucus

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 55, 5 October 2026.
Mechanical flexibility is introduced as a design parameter to enhance nanocarrier transport in mucus. Using DNA origami, flexibility is decoupled from size, shap and surface chemistry, revealing improved passage through confined hydrogel networks. While surface passivation reduces aggregation, flexibility further boosts transport, offering a general ...

A Hybrid Physics‐Informed Computational Framework for Adaptive Microrobotic Navigation and Causal Structure Discovery in Simulated Non‐Newtonian Environments

Applied Research, Volume 5, Issue 5, October 2026.
This study presents a hybrid AI framework that enables autonomous magnetic microrobots to navigate complex, non‐Newtonian tumor microenvironments. By integrating physics‐informed recurrent reinforcement learning with active persistent excitation, the system successfully infers hidden fluid rheology for precise targeted navigation and structural causal ...
