The design and synthesis of double network (DN) hydrogels that can mimic the properties
and/or structure of natural tissue has flourished in recent years, overcoming the bottlenecks …

Abstract Systems that are intelligent have the ability to sense their surroundings, analyze,
and respond accordingly. In nature, many biological systems are considered intelligent (eg …

Since the birth of synthetic hydrogel 60 years ago, hydrogels possessing various useful
properties and functions have been developed. The research directions of hydrogels have …

A key goal of chemistry is to develop synthetic systems that mimic biology, such as self-
assembling, self-replicating models of minimal life forms. Oscillations are often observed in …

Self-oscillating systems that enable autonomous, continuous motions driven by an
unchanging, constant stimulus would have significant applications in intelligent machines …

Steering soft robots in a self-regulated manner remains a grand challenge, which often
requires continuous symmetry breaking and recovery steps for persistent motion. Although …

Movement is one of the vital features of living systems, and remote control of bioinspired soft
robotic systems in a precise, contactless and harmless way is extremely desirable but …

Intelligent hydrogels are promising for biomimetic actuators, but acquiring actuations with
both high speed and powerful force is still extremely difficult. Herein, a new robust …

Compartmentalization is an intrinsic feature of living cells that allows spatiotemporal control
over the biochemical pathways expressed in them. Over the years, a library of …

Self-oscillation absorbs energy from a steady environment to maintain its own continuous
motion, eliminating the need to carry a power supply and controller, which will make the …
