Regulating Polymer Demixing Dynamics to Construct a Low‐Tortuosity Host for Stable High‐Energy‐Density Lithium Metal Batteries

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Tortuosity‐controlled hosts, fabricated via regulated polymer demixing, create vertically aligned, low‐tortuosity (LT) frameworks with lithiophilicity gradients. The LT host enhances Li‐ion transport kinetics, promotes homogeneous bottom–up Li deposition. When paired with LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 cathodes, a double‐stacked pouch‐type full cell achieves high

When Cellulose Moves: Smart Sensors and Actuators

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This review highlights cellulose‐derived soft actuators alongside with cellulose‐based sensors. Emphasis is placed on their integration into multifunctional devices that couple sensing and actuation to mimic natural motion and adaptability. We also discuss the challenges of achieving robust, reversible, and multi‐stimuli‐responsive motion, and outline ...

Rotary 4D Printing of Programmable Metamaterials on Sustainable 4D Mandrel

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
The paper introduces open, rotary 4D printing of programmable tubular metamaterials. It presents an open, non‐planar path‐to‐G‐code pipeline and shape‐changing rotary mandrel that enable support‐free fabrication and multi‐stimuli actuation. Experiments and FEA validate the mentioned features and stress redistribution.

A Quadruped Piezoelectric Ultrasonic Actuating Robot with Foot‐Leg‐Trunk‐Integrated Structure

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This study proposes a novel foot‐leg‐trunk‐integrated quadruped piezoelectric ultrasonic actuating robot with small size and lightweight. A hybrid vibration mode combining the first‐order out‐of‐plane bending vibration of the trunk and the first‐order horizontal bending vibration of driving legs is designed to generate elliptical trajectories at foot ...

Collision‐Resilient Winged Drones Enabled by Tensegrity Structures

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Based on structures of birds such as the woodpeck, this article presents the collision‐resilient aerial robot, SWIFT. SWIFT leverages tensegrity structures in the fuselage and wings which allow it to undergo large deformations in a crash, without sustaining damage. Experiments show that SWIFT can reduce impact forces by 70% over conventional structures.

TORSION-FREE ABELIAN GROUPS OF FINITE RANK AND FIELDS OF FINITE TRANSCENDENCE DEGREE

The Journal of Symbolic Logic
Abstract Let $\operatorname {TFAb}_r$ be the class of torsion-free abelian groups of rank r, and let $\operatorname {FD}_r$ be the class of fields of characteristic $0$ and transcendence degree r. We compare these classes using various notions.

A matrix description for torsion free abelian groups of finite rank

Rendiconti del Seminario Matematico della Università di Padova, 2020
We describe torsion free abelian groups of finite rank applying matrices with polyadic entries. This description can be considered as a modification of the classic description by A. I. Mal'cev.
