However, they still fall short in their lack of inherent intelligence to autonomously adapt to complex and dynamic environments. Consequently, the next frontier for artificial muscles lies in endowing them with advanced intelligence. Herein, recent works aimed at augmenting intelligence in artificial muscles are summarized, focusing on advancements in functional materials, structural designs, and manufacturing techniques. This review emphasizes memory-based intelligence, enabling artificial muscles to execute a range of pre-programmed movements and refresh stored actuation states in response to changing conditions, as well as sensory-based intelligence, which allows them to perceive and respond to environmental changes through sensory feedback. Furthermore, recent applications benefiting from intelligent artificial muscles, including adaptable robotics, biomedical devices, and wearables, are discussed. Finally, we address the remaining challenges in scalability, dynamic reprogramming, and the integration of multi-functional capabilities and discuss future perspectives of augmented intelligent artificial muscles to support further advancements in the field.","PeriodicalId":87,"journal":{"name":"Materials Horizons","volume":" 9","pages":" 2764-2788"},"PeriodicalIF":12.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlepdf/2025/mh/d5mh00236b?page=search","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143913641","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the development of organic photo-controllable inverters is challenging due to issues such as solubility constraints for film stacking and the immaturity of photo-recordable devices. Notably, the development of organic non-volatile floating-gate photomemories (ONVFGPs) with n-type charge-transporting layers still lags behind that of the p-type layers due to the limited availability of suitable solution-processable charge-trapping materials and charge-transporting material pairs. Herein, photo-crosslinkable polystyrene-b-poly(methacrylic acid) (PS-b-PMAA)/5,10,15,20-tetraphenyl-21H,23H-porphine zinc (ZnTPP), which follows anti-Kasha's rule, is adopted as the charge-trapping layer for ONVFGPs. Both the second and first excited states of ZnTPP participate in photo-induced charge transfer, achieving the state-of-the-art photo-programming time of 0.1 second for ONVFGPs. The transfer curve of the derived photo-programmable inverter can be fine-tuned across a broad spectrum spanning from 405 nm to 830 nm, leading to at least six output states for the same input signal. This research confirms the possibility of integrated organic optoelectronics, opening avenues for solution-processable system-on-chip, neuromorphic computing and organic photonic integrated circuits.","PeriodicalId":87,"journal":{"name":"Materials Horizons","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":12.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143778588","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, Co0.7Fe0.3@CNFs@MnO2 (CFCM) was fabricated by coating MnO2 nanosheets on necklace-like CoFe@carbon nanofiber composites. The coated MnO2 nanosheets not only enhance the EMW attenuation ability, but also improve impedance matching.

The synthesis procedure and properties of zeolites can be improved through the \"dual-OSDA\" approach, which involves cooperation and/or competition of different OSDAs in the synthesis media. Two OSDAs achieving results that neither of the OSDAs can deliver on its own is referred to as the \"cooperative OSDA\" approach. In this manner, one can enhance zeolite properties by stabilizing different parts of the framework and altering the synthesis outcome, such as acidity and/or Al distribution. However, cooperation can easily be disrupted, and one of the challenges in dual-OSDA zeolite synthesis is determining the conditions under which OSDA molecules can function in harmony to affect zeolite properties and control phase selection. On the other hand, competition does not always result in negative outcomes (e.g., intergrowth materials).

Among them, ultrathin electronic tattoos (E-tattoos) offer the advantage of imperceptible operation, making them suitable for daily use. However, the insulating trait of polymeric materials used for skin adhesion and integration of electronics hinders electrical interfaces between electronics and skin. This study investigates multifunctional E-tattoos by materializing semiconducting silk nanofibers (SNFs) with the melanin dopant. Fabricated through electrospinning and subsequent melanin doping and graphene coating, ultrathin and lightweight E-tattoos exhibited mechanical flexibility, strong skin conformability, and high water-vapour transmission, ensuring long-term on-skin usability. Their use as electrocardiogram electrodes and in skin hydration monitoring with a high signal-to-noise ratio is possible due to the increased conductivity of the melanin-doped SNFs. In addition, light- and humidity-responsive conductivity of melanin enables the use of E-tattoos as a breath sensor and UV detector. The unique combination of bio-based materials and advanced fabrication processes enables seamless integration of electronic and biological systems. The graphene/melanin-doped SNF E-tattoos for bio-signal sensing applications offer an eco-friendly, skin-compatible, and multifunctional solution for next-generation biomedical research.","PeriodicalId":87,"journal":{"name":"Materials Horizons","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":12.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143770769","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recently, bistable structures, as architected materials for engineering soft components, have attracted significant attention for their ability to enable rapid-response grasping and shape self-locking. However, challenges persist in utilizing them for handling multi-feature objects, i.e., irregular-shaped, fragile, and variable-weight objects. Here, we report a class of soft-rigid grippers comprising customizable bistable units and their data-driven design framework to address these challenges. Specifically, the transition behavior of bistable units can be tailored by designing their contact blocks (CBs), enabling grasping-force control of grippers for objects with varying fragility and weight. The CB design is achieved through an inverse design framework that employs extremely randomized trees (ERT) models and differential evolution (DE) algorithms. The trained ERT model accounts for the strongly coupled nonlinearity of structural deformation, material constitutive models, and contact behaviors during transition processes, achieving a prediction accuracy of 96.4%. Additionally, the grippers offer overload protection and shape-conforming reconfiguration for irregular-shaped objects. This bistable unit design offers grippers new ways of grasping complex objects, promising superb flexibility, scalability, and efficiency in the design and operation of robot technologies.","PeriodicalId":87,"journal":{"name":"Materials Horizons","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":12.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143762761","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, a TENG-based sensor with boron nitride nanosheets/waterborne epoxy (BNNSs/WEP) composites as the friction layer was proposed for improving the accuracy of identifying negative charged materials. During the process of contact friction with negative charged objects, the as-fabricated TENG device displayed excellent output performance, with a maximum output voltage of 2.7 V and a charge density of 88.32 nC m-2. Combining deep machine learning and the friction electric effect, we developed a material recognition system for TENG sensors with integrated fatigue testing, data processing, and display modules. Following the training of the convolutional neural network (CNN) model with friction electrical signals generated by TENGs, the model demonstrated high accuracy in recognizing eight different materials, with a confusion matrix accuracy of 100%. Then, a sensor was developed for real-time device monitoring, with recognition accuracy of 100%, 100%, 55% and 49% for four kinds of materials.

Under optimized design conditions, with a folding angle of 60 degrees, the collector features 23 superhydrophilic protrusions, each measuring 2.5 × 5 mm. Under these conditions, the fog collection efficiency reaches 0.5057 g cm-2 min-1. Furthermore, to assess the practical feasibility of the fog collector, a series of experiments, including sand impact and chemical resistance tests, were conducted.
