Multiferroic‐Centric Materials and Systems Engineering for Battery Applications: An Insight Into Mechanisms, Strategies, and Characterizations

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Multiferroic order parameters – polarization, magnetization, and ferroelastic strain – are positioned as dynamic design variables for batteries. Their mechanistic roles, practical tuning through fabrication and external fields, and ferroic‐resolved characterization routes are unified into a closed‐loop framework, revealing how coupled ferroic responses

Geometry‐Encoded Actuation as a Structural Interaction Layer in Origami Robots

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We present geometry‐encoded actuation (GEA), a design framework that integrates multistable origami with liquid crystal elastomer actuators to encode environmental interactions into autonomous structural responses. GEA enables programmable shape transformation without continuous sensing or complex control, achieving robust adaptive manipulation and ...

Abstract Representation of Movement Parameters in Basal Ganglia Output

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The basal ganglia output provides a scalable velocity/position signal across behavioral contexts, supporting the idea that these variables are represented in the brain as abstract entities rather than as fixed changes in joint angles or specific sets of body effectors.

Passive Metasurface Tweezers for Multi‐Scale Orbital Transport and Trapping on Elastic Plates

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Passive labyrinthine phase encoding converts single‐channel excitation into localized flexural‐wave vortices with programmable orbital angular momentum. The resulting vortex fields enable cross‐scale particle manipulation, including orbital transport, central confinement, and rotational actuation.

Bio‐Inspired Gradient Heterogeneous Architectures for Ultrasensitive and Robust Strain Sensors via Programmable Crack Engineering

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Inspired by the insect campaniform sensillum, a heterogeneous bilayer strain sensor is developed based on a unique impedance mismatch and three‐dimensional structural dynamic percolation strategy. The sensor enables real‐time multi‐joint teleoperation of three joints and the gripper using a six‐degree‐of‐freedom robotic‐arm platform.
