A Soft Robotic Model for Simulating Heart Valve Disease and Cardiac Interventions

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This paper introduces a fully synthetic fabrication methodology for a soft robotic, in‐vitro model of the left‐heart, complete with a functioning mitral valve apparatus. With a view towards patient‐specific modeling, we demonstrate physiological flow and pressure waveforms, tunable mitral valve function with clinical imaging compatibility, and its use ...

Visualizing and Quantifying Impact with Mechanochromic Sensing Paints Based on Self‐Assembled Polydiacetylene‐Silk Core‐Shell Vesicles

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Tracking physical impacts is important in many fields. Self‐assembled microparticles made from polydiacetylene and silk fibroin that change color from blue to red when hit can provide an alternative approach to traditional mechanical transducers, quantitatively visualizing impact with responses ranging from <100 to 770 N.

Single‐Crystal PZT‐Driven Organic Piezo‐Phototronic Adaptive Transistors Toward Advanced Spatiotemporal Visual Computing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Here, we propose a single‐crystal PZT‐based piezo‐phototronic organic adaptive memory transistor (OAMT), achieving a record memory window capacity factor (γ) of 0.87 at a low SS of 200 mV/decade via efficient multi‐field control. The device achieves a high recognition accuracy ∼ 90% in neuromorphic simulations, demonstrates robust fault tolerance under

Hierarchical Artificial Muscle with Nonlinear Elasticity for Antagonistic and Cyclic Robotics

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We construct hierarchical muscles by plying nylon fibers around a heating wire. The hierarchical muscle shows a J‐shaped passive curve, which shows benefit in antagonistic muscle pair and work accumulation mechanism. We also develop a computational, first‐principle model to understand the physics of both active actuation stroke and passive J‐curve ...

A Laminating Strategy to Manyfold Enhance the Elastic Stretchability of Stretchable Electronics

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We propose a laminating strategy that laminates a thick‐polymer layer onto the thin‐ribbon metallic structure. Using serpentine structures on soft and hard substrates as representative cases, this approach increases elastic stretchability by 3.5‐fold and 2.3‐fold.

Glucuronolactone Promotes Mucin Sulfation to Alleviate Deoxynivalenol‐Induced Intestinal Injury via Microbiota‐Dependent and ‐Independent AHR Activation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Glucuronolactone (GLU) as a natural metabolite of glucose, increases Lactobacillus amylovorus abundance and luminal IAA level to activate AHR signaling. In addition, GLU itself can directly elevate AHR signaling activity independently of microbiota and IAA.

Highly Aligned Bacteria Cellulose Yarn Aggregation for Energy Generation and Strain Sensing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Although high‐performance bacterial cellulose fibers have attracted significant interest for wearable electronics, a self‐powered and high‐mechanosensitive design is still scarce for achieving an intelligent integrated system. Here, we demonstrate an innovative bio‐fabrication strategy to develop a core‐sheath yarn that features the ordered network and

Realization of a Bilayer Elastic Topological Insulator

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Bilayer elastic wave topological insulators are experimentally realized, introducing the layer degree of freedom to access four topological phases. This enables diverse domain walls and transmission behaviors, including interlayer conversion and beam splitting.
