Switchable adhesion of phase-transition eutectogels with integrated machine learning-enhanced intelligent adhesion sensing (opens in new tab)

Switchable adhesion underpins emerging technologies in robotics, microelectronics, and biomedical engineering. However, achieving switchable surface adhesion that can adapt to substrates with varying material compositions and surface roughness, while simultaneously enabling real-time and wireless monitoring of adhesion strength, poses a substantial challenge. Here, we present a eutectogel-based system that integrates electrothermally switchable adhesion with wireless sensing capability for in...
