Architected Load Paths Enable Stiffening and Motion Programming in Soft Pneumatic Actuators

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A single MARS template introduces an architected reinforcement strategy for programmable soft pneumatic actuators through internal structural organization and selective beam removal. This monolithic architecture enables deformation reconfiguration from continuous bending to joint‐like articulation and torsional motion, allowing one compliant platform ...

Transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement

open access: yes, 2012
Despite the explosion in the field of transcatheter aortic valve implantations over the last 10 years, only a handful of transcatheter tricuspid valve-in-valve implants have been described to date. This review describes the basic anatomy and pathology of

Active Oscillations of Elastic Membranes Arising from the Coupling with a Catalytic Reaction

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Coupling an elastic membrane to a catalytic reaction produces active oscillations that self‐sustain for hours: the membrane cyclically inflates and deflates as the reaction spontaneously activates and deactivates, without external power. Energy release is directly embodied in the oscillation dynamics, opening elasto‐chemical strategies for the physical

Experiments on Nonlocal Fluid‐Flow Metamaterials

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A nonlocal fluid‐flow metamaterial composed of standard microfluidic tubes and connectors is designed. Hence, the current of the system at one position depends on the gradient of fluid flow at many other positions, leading to unusual alternating backward and forward laminar flows of water.

Emergence of Unconventional Magnetic Order in Strain‐Engineered RuO2/TiO2 Superlattices

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Epitaxial strain activates unconventional magnetism in rutile RuO2, absent in bulk or relaxed RuO2. Polarized neutron reflectometry with atomic‐layer resolution directly reveals finite magnetization confined to RuO2 layers in fully strained RuO2/TiO2 superlattices on TiO2 (110).

A Spatiotemporal Single‐Cell Atlas Uncovers Dysregulated ECM Dynamics and Septal Remodeling Arrest in Human Ventricular Septal Defects

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Integrating single‐cell and spatial transcriptomics reveals human ventricular septal defect (VSD) as a disease of microenvironmental insufficiency and structural remodeling arrest. Attenuated endothelial‐fibroblast crosstalk, alongside downregulated THBS1/TGF‐β1 and MMP2 signaling networks, impairs the endothelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition (EndoMT) and

Vine‐Inspired Soft Robotics: Materials, Actuations, and Emerging Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Vine‐inspired robots grow from the tip, enabling navigation through confined spaces with minimal disturbance. This Review summarizes material and actuation strategies for vine‐inspired growth, key functions including steering, retraction, attachment, branching, and variable stiffness, and emerging applications spanning medical intervention, confined ...

Massively Multiplexed Photonic Chip With Cross‐Channel Fusion For Harmonized Biosensing

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
We introduce a transformative sensing platform integrating photonic multiplexing with over 10 000 sensors and a deep‐learning framework that combines domain adaptation and cross‐channel fusion for harmonized operation across heterogeneous chips. The platform achieves 99.3% identification accuracy and relative prediction errors of 10−4$^{-4}$ for ...

Incidence Of Atrial Fibrillation In Mitral Valve Repair Versus Replacement In Elderly Patients.

open access: yes, 2010
Objective: Mitral valve repair is often preferred in elderly patients. In literature, has been described signi cant lower in-hospital stay, operative mortal- ity and cerebrovascular complications comparing mitral repair to mitral replacement. Our purpose

Prepolymerization Enables On‐Demand Viscosity Tuning for Xolography of Soft Hydrogels

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A facile in situ prepolymerization strategy enables on‐demand viscosity tuning across three orders of magnitude without external thickeners, transforming low‐viscosity resins into printable formulations for Xolography. The approach suppresses sedimentation, lowers curing dose, enables high‐fidelity support‐free fabrication, and produces advanced ...
