This research demonstrates a biomimetic hydrogel's high impact resistance in agricultural drones, suggesting sustainable materials could enhance robot durability.
Protein-Managed Hydrogel Biomimicked by Insect Cuticle A protein-managed lamellar hydrogel inspired by the inner head-capsule structure of the Asian corn borer. Its chitin/OfCPH-2 lamellar architecture dissipates impact energy and offers sustainable, lightweight protective armor for intelligent agricultural drones. More details can be found in the Research Article by Tian Liu, Xiangyu Liang, and co-workers (DOI: 10.1002/adma.202519427).
