The researchers from the Lab of Advanced Actuation Technologies (LAAT) at Harbin Institute of Technology propose performance enhancement strategies for TNAs to address the critical demand for high-performance actuators. These approaches enable the simultaneous realization of large deformation and high output force, significantly improving the actuation performance. The novel high-performance TNAs demonstrate strong application potential in soft robots.

A research paper by scientists from Tianjin University proposed a noninvasive method for locating and decoding intracranial endogenous signals with high spatiotemporal resolution.

In a research paper, scientists from the Tsinghua University proposed a novel enhanced Digital Light Processing (DLP) 3D printing technology, capable of printing composite magnetic structures with different material sin a single step. Furthermore, a soft robot with a hard magnetic material-superparamagnetic material composite was designed and printed.

A noninvasive self-powered iontophoresis mask based on a water-driven fiber battery has been reported by Mingwei Tian's group at Qingdao University. A zinc-manganese fiber battery (Zn-Mn@FB) was constructed by continuously preparing long-fiber electrodes in a self-built device, and then seamlessly integrated with a nonwoven cellulose-based superabsorbent fibers (SAFs) substrate.
