It's my great honor to host Prof. Jie Yin Jie Yin from NCSU to give a seminar talk on "Physically Intelligent Soft Machines". Truly look forward to it. The seminar will start at 11 am, April 10th. Zoom link: msu.zoom.us/j/97383731374 Password: 680558

Excited to share our latest work on stretchable RF electronics out today in ⁦⁦nature⁩! Moving towards mechanically wireless soft bioelectronics we want to be able to retain their electromagnetic performance even when deformed! nature.com/articles/s4158…

Excited to share the news: the first paper of my Ph.D. in Jie Yin is published today on Advanced Materials!

Making electronic implants robotically flexible could address grand challenges in biomedical implants. This paper introduces implantable robots that emulate a close relation between sensory skin and moving muscles. Congratulations to Lin Zhang and the team!nature.com/articles/s4146…

CONGRATS to Meixiang for her work on "glassy gels", published in Nature today. nature.com/articles/s4158…

In a recent talk, John A Rogers recounted his own translation from scientific discovery, to engineering research, and to commercial development. rogersgroup.northwestern.edu/files/2024/ica… He ended the talk with three slides of observations. Pure gold from a master!

Out today Science Advances science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… highlighted on Science Magazine frontpage. We Haitao Qing report a #mantaray-like soft robotic surface and underwater swimmer that is fast, efficient, maneuverable, and collision resilient, only requiring a single actuation input

Functionalized hydrogels can mimic the ability of living organisms to adapt to their environments. A robotic swimmer moves toward light, thanks to a flapping motion induced by oscillating magnetic fields and geometrical curvature induced by light. In PNAS: ow.ly/fwT650UlJ5v

Thrilled to receive the #PECASE award! This wouldn’t be possible without my amazing students and postdocs & the support of ⁦U.S. National Science Foundation⁩ MoMS program. Grateful to contribute to #kirigami engineering. Thank you to everyone who has supported me along the way! whitehouse.gov/ostp/news-upda…
