Miniaturized Magnetic Tip Design for Endoluminal Vine Robot Navigation

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A magnetic tip mount is designed for a miniaturized 7 mm soft‐growing vine robot to enable wireless magnetic steering and onboard imaging, while preserving a 3 mm working channel. The internal–external ring magnets design balances magnetic attachment with low eversion pressure. Experiments demonstrate ±90° steering, 34 mm bending radius, and successful

Systematic Benchmarking of a Noise‐Tolerant Conductive Hydrogel Electrode for Epidermal Bioelectronics

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
General schematic of the approach. Abstract Conventional Silver/Silver Chloride (Ag/AgCl) electrodes remain the clinical standard for electrophysiological monitoring but are hindered by poor skin conformity, mechanical rigidity, and signal degradation, particularly under motion or sweat.

Radical‐Mediated, Substrate‐Independent Fabrication of Hybrid Solid–Hydrogel Materials With Tunable Crosslinking: An Initiator‐ and Crosslinker‐Free Approach

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work introduces a substrate‐independent, reagent‐free plasma strategy that forms radical‐rich interlayers for covalent hydrogel attachment without initiators or crosslinkers. The long‐lived radicals drive in situ gelation, creating robust, cytocompatible hybrid solid–hydrogel constructs across diverse substrates.

Brain‐Adhesive Bioelectronics With Shape‐Morphable and Biodegradable Properties for Stable Brain Signal Monitoring

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A brain‐adhesive sensor (B‐Sensor) was developed by integrating a self‐healing biodegradable elastomer, a tissue‐adhesive hydrogel, and molybdenum electrodes. The B‐Sensor adheres to brain tissue, conforms to cortical curvatures, and maintains stable electrical performance over the intended period for reliable recording of spatiotemporal brain activity
