Ultra-lightweight robotic hip exoskeleton with anti-phase torque symmetry for enhanced walking efficiency
This paper presents a novel robotic exoskeleton that is exceptionally lightweight and compact, while providing effective gait assistance. To maximize the system’s assistance-to-weight/size ratio, the design focuses on two key aspects of human gait mechanics: (1) the contribution of the hip joints to power generation, and (2) the symmetrical nature of hip flexion and extension torques during walking. Based on these principles, we developed a compact hip exoskeleton with a single actuator. This actuator simultaneously drives the hip joint in the sagittal plane, facilitating both flexion and extension during gait. An adaptive delayed output feedback controller was implemented, ensuring consistent performance across diverse walking conditions using a single rotational sensor and actuator. To evaluate the exoskeleton’s effectiveness, a 4-week outdoor walking exercise program was conducted with nine elderly participants. Their gait, balance, and muscle strength were measured before and after the program to assess improvements. Results showed significant improvements in walking speed (14.8% in the 10-m walk and 10.6% in the 6-min walk), as well as enhanced performance in the timed up-and-go test (24.5%) and the short physical performance battery test (18.7%). Ankle dorsiflexion and plantar flexion muscle strength increased by 75.45% and 45.8%, respectively. Additionally, metabolic measurements from three young adults indicated a 13.6 ± 3.2% reduction in the net metabolic cost of walking with the exoskeleton compared to walking without it. These results demonstrate that the single actuator-based hip exoskeleton offers effective gait assistance while maintaining a lightweight and compact design, highlighting its potential for widespread use in various applications.

Double network hydrogel polymers with rapid self-strengthening abilities
Hydrogels are soft materials consisting of polymer networks and water. They are permeable to substances smaller than their network mesh size and have applications in biomaterials, contact lenses, soft robots, and more. At the molecular level, the cleavage of chemical bonds causes a material to become mechanically weaker and can lead to its destruction. Mechanochemically cleaved bonds usually result in the formation of mechano-radicals. In the presence of monomers, these mechano-radicals can trigger the formation of new polymer networks, self-strengthening the material.
Innovations in noninvasive sensory stimulation treatments to combat Alzheimer’s disease
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder affecting millions worldwide. There is no known cure for AD, highlighting an urgent need for new, innovative treatments. Recent studies have shed light on a promising, noninvasive approach using sensory stimulation as a potential therapy for AD. Exposing patients to light and sound pulses at a frequency of 40 hertz induces brain rhythms in the gamma frequency range that are important for healthy brain activity. Using this treatment in animal models, we are now beginning to understand the molecular, cellular, and circuit-level changes that underlie improvements in disease pathology, cognition, and behavior. A mechanistic understanding of the basic biology that underlies the 40-hertz treatment will inform ongoing clinical trials that offer a promising avenue of treatment without the side effects and high costs typically associated with pharmacological interventions. Concurrent advancements in neurotechnology that can also noninvasively stimulate healthy brain rhythms are illuminating new possibilities for alternative therapies. Altogether, these noninvasive approaches could herald a new era in treating AD, making them a beacon of hope for patients, families, and caregivers facing the challenges of this debilitating condition.
