Wound dressings are traditionally used to protect a wound and to facilitate healing.
Currently, their function is expanding. There is an urgent need for new smart products that …

The past decade has seen a decided move from static and passive biomaterials to
biodegradable, dynamic, and stimuli responsive materials in the laboratory and the clinic …

Active camouflage is widely recognized as a soft-tissue feature, and yet the ability to
integrate adaptive coloration and tissuelike mechanical properties into synthetic materials …

High strength hydrogels were made by ionically cross-linking the polyelectrolyte midblock of
a self-assembled, amphiphilic triblock copolymer network. The polymer backbone consisted …

The strain-stiffening and self-healing capabilities of biological tissues enable them to
preserve the structures and functions from deformation and damage. However …

Liquid-liquid phase separation is a fundamental mechanism underlying subcellular
organization. Motivated by the striking observation that optogenetically generated droplets in …

The hydrogen bond, one of the simplest and most versatile noncovalent interactions, is
essential for many dynamic functions in living systems. After long-term fundamental …

Biological tissues can accurately differentiate external mechanical stresses and actively
select suitable strategies (eg, reversible strain-stiffening, self-healing) to sustain or restore …

A motion control system includes an actuator having an actuation member, the actuation
member having a proximal end attached to the actuator on a first side of a joint and a distal …

Motion sensing has played an important role in the study of human biomechanics as well as
the entertainment industry. Although existing technologies, such as optical or inertial based …
