Intelligent electroactive material systems with self-adaptive mechanical memory and sequential logic.
Article in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
By synthesizing the requisite functionalities of intelligence in an integrated material system, it may become possible to animate otherwise inanimate matter. A significant challenge in this vision is to continually sense, process, and memorize information in a decentralized way. Here, we introduce an approach that enables all such functionalities in a soft mechanical material system. By integrating nonvolatile memory with continuous processing, we develop a sequential logic-based material design framework. Soft, conductive networks interconnect with embedded electroactive actuators to enable self-adaptive behavior that facilitates autonomous toggling and counting. The design principles are scaled in processing complexity and memory capacity to develop a model 8-bit mechanical material that can solve linear algebraic equations based on analog mechanical inputs. The resulting material system operates continually to monitor the current mechanical configuration and to autonomously search for solutions within a desired error. The methods created in this work are a foundation for future synthetic general intelligence that can empower materials to autonomously react to diverse stimuli in their environment.
