Soft robotics is a rapidly evolving field that leverages compliant and deformable materials to create robotic systems capable of safe human interaction, environmental adaptability, and bio-inspired motion. Unlike rigid r...

Abstract With the advance of smart material science, robotics is evolving from rigid robots to soft robots. Compared to rigid robots, soft robots can safely interact with the environment, easily navigate in unstructured ...

3D printing is transforming soft robotics by enabling complex geometries, rapid iteration, and cofabrication of structure, actuation, and sensing. Central to this progress are functional materials that provide stretchabl...

In recent years, significant progress has been achieved in the design and fabrication of stretchable optoelectronic devices. In general, stretchability has been achieved through geometrical modifications of device compon...

Abstract Soft electronic devices require durability to endure their inherent exposure to diverse mechanical deformations, including scratches, punctures, and repeated bending. Without intrinsic damage recovery mechanisms...

Abstract In current research on soft grippers, pneumatically actuated soft grippers are generally fabricated using fully soft materials, which have the advantage of flexibility as well as the disadvantages of a small gri...

Optical measurement of materials at the nanoscale is important for nanotechnology. Various plasmonic nanorulers have been studied for measuring nanoscale distance and orientation of materials, but they lack the capabilit...

ABSTRACT Antiferroelectrics (AFEs) with typical reversible electrically antipolar‐polar phase transformation have attracted tremendous attention for assembling electronic devices. As a thriving part of the family, mole...

This paper defends the following main claims:  (i) in the discussion of cumulative culture, the importance of specific causal recipes has been overstated,and the imortance of broad-channel skills, and skills not tied to...

Oblique plane microscopy (OPM) directly captures object information in a plane tilted from the focal plane of the objective lens without the need for slow z-stack acquisition. This unconventional widefield imaging approa...

Formulation of the problem. In scientific research in sociology, education, physics, chemistry and other sciences, methods of correlation analysis are used. Correlation coefficients are used to determine the existence of...

Phase change materials (PCM) are receiving ever-growing attention as a promising construction material for improving building energy performance through thermal storage and peak load shifting. The analysis of PCM perform...

Abstract Soft robotics focuses on addressing the locomotion problem in unstructured environments and the manipulation problem of non-cooperative objects, which inevitably leads to soft robots encountering multiple uncert...

The soft liner of acrylic resin dentures, used to coat removable partial dentures, still has drawbacks in the easy attachment of Candida albicans fungus. A treatment on the surface of the acrylic resin denture soft liner...

Centrifugal model tests are carried out to simulate the construction and operation of the dike on a soft soil foundation for the purpose of taxiway construction on the seashore. The vertical strip drains are adopted for ...

Introduction. Waste from wood processing and agricultural products can be used as components of building materials, as fuel in briquettes, etc. A rapidly developing area for the utilization of this waste, as well as wa...

Objective: To explore and compare the extent of maximal gingival display among four different facial expressions, including the requested smile, Duchenne smile, grimace of disgust, and funnel-shaped expression, using Aut...

In this paper, crystalline iron-nickel alloy nanostructures were successfully prepared from two cationic pyridinium derivatives as soft templates in solution. The crystal structure and micrograph of FeNi alloy nanostruct...

Currently, numerous vocational colleges have incorporated practical training courses focused on automated production lines. However, due to spatial constraints and insufficient availability of physical equipment, the imp...

A pressing issue in materials science is the controlled application of ceramic composite materials at high temperatures in modern technologies, particularly in nuclear physics, atomic energy, aerospace, and rocket engine...

Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and thermoplastics nylon are extensively composed as an alternative material for removable denture base. The primary difference between the two materials is associated with water absorption pr...
