Embodying Control in Soft Multistable Robots from Morphofunctional Co‐design
Advanced Science, EarlyView.A framework is introduced for co‐designing the morphology and planned tasks of soft robots by embodying specific reconfiguration modes and dynamics upon actuation, leveraging an efficient energy‐based analytical model and optimization. Desired kinematics are co‐designed with optimized stiffnesses and time responses to obtain robots capable of ...

Prompting Interfacial Elastic Instability for Effective and Durable Icephobic Surfaces
Advanced Science, EarlyView.To address the inherent trade‐off between icephobicity and the mechanical strength of icephobic materials, a new icephobic material design strategy is proposed by integrating fibrous construction frameworks and icephobic polymer. The structure prompts interfacial elastic instability and the subsequent undulatory interfacial stress at ice/solid ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.A new strategy based on ternary molecular co‐assembly for the facile construction of nanofluidic membranes is presented. The membrane exhibits asymmetric nanochannels that facilitate anion‐selective transport, achieving an osmotic energy harvesting performance of 16.6 W·m−2 and a superior anti‐biofouling activity in natural waters.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.A hydraulically actuated “Neurotentacle” probe offers tunable stiffness for precise implantation into the deep brain without rigid shuttles or dissolvable coatings. It stiffens during insertion to penetrate tissue and softens afterward to minimize damage and enable stable long‐term recordings.
