Realization of interactive human-machine interfaces (iHMI) is improved with development of soft tissue-like strain sensors beyond hard robotic exosuits, potentially allowing cognitive behavior therapy and physical rehabilitation for patients with bra...
Solid matter that can rapidly and reversibly switch between adhesive and non-adhesive states is desired in many technological domains including climbing robotics, actuators, wound dressings, and bioelectronics due to the ability for on-demand attachm...
Some marine organisms can resist to aqueous tidal environments and adhere tightly on wet surface. This behavior has raised increasing attention for potential applications in medicine, biomaterials, and tissue engineering. In mussels, adhesive forces ...
Reversible and variable dry adhesion is a promising approach for versatile robotic grasping. Variable stiffness materials with a modulus that can be tuned using an external stimulus offer a unique approach to realize dynamic control of adhesion. In t...

Strong, reversible, and self-cleaning adhesion in the toe pads of geckos allow the lizards to climb on a variety of vertical and inverted surfaces, regardless of the surface conditions, whether hydrophobic or hydrophilic, smooth or tough, wet or dry,...
Remora suckerfish can attach to a wide diversity of marine hosts, however, their detachment mechanism remains poorly understood. Through analyzing high-speed videos, we found that the detachment of the live remora (Echeneis naucrates) is a rapid beha...
Growing interest has focused on next-generation flexible adhesive sensors (FAS) integrated with deep learning for intelligent electronics. Existing conductive hydrogels, however, fail to concurrently achieve high stretchability, transparency, robust ...
Real-time monitoring of sweat using wearable devices faces challenges such as limited adhesion, mechanical flexibility, and accurate detection. In this work, we present a stretchable, adhesive, bilayer hydrogel-based patch designed for continuous mon...
