Deformation Driven Suction Cups: A Mechanics‐Based Approach to Wearable Electronics
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Deformation‐driven suction cups enable robust, reversible adhesion of wearable electronics to human skin spanning wide mechanical compliance, without adhesives or tight straps. By integrating mechanics modeling, experiments, and contact mechanics theory, this work reveals how cup geometry, substrate compliance, and interfacial adhesion govern suction ...

Combining the Pitcher and Lotus Plant: Supericephobic and Superhydrophobic Silicone Films
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Based on bench‐top nanomolding of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) with optimized silicone oil content, we developed hierarchically structured silicone films by essentially combining the properties of the lotus and pitcher plant; particularly we are able to achieve water contact angle as high as 171° and ice adhesion strength as low as 11.5 kPa (i.e ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Metarhizium anisopliae alleviates the phytotoxic effects of polyethylene nanoplastics (NP) and lead (Pb) in rice by decreasing Pb uptake, restoring antioxidant and hormonal equilibrium, and promoting growth. Additionally, the fungus modifies the rhizosphere microbiota, enhancing both contaminant tolerance and plant growth, thereby effectively ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.The ultrathin (2.5 nm) MXene film self‐assembled at liquid interfaces breaks the trade‐off between transparency (82.5 %) and photothermal conversion effect (DT∼25.1°C ± 2.9 °C) under 100 mW cm−2. After encapsulated by a slippery surface with low adhesion, this transparent film can be applied in smart windows, eyewear, and optical sensors to autonomous ...

Vacancy‐Suppressed Garnet Electrolytes for Durable Solid‐State Batteries
Advanced Science, EarlyView.A Li/O‐rich sintering strategy effectively suppresses intrinsic lithium and oxygen vacancies in cubic garnet electrolytes, yielding a dense and stable microstructure. The vacancy‐controlled electrolyte exhibits enhanced interfacial and air stability, enabling long‐term solid‐state battery cycling and providing a general design principle for defect ...

Adhesion, friction and Auger spectroscopy analysis of a commercial cobalt base aircraft turbine shroud alloy [PDF]
A commercially used cast cobalt base alloy was investigated as a turbine shroud material which revealed a surface enriched with tungsten and carbon suggesting a surface layer of tungsten carbide. Adhesion and friction of this segregated surface layer are

Advanced Science, EarlyView.We present a mechanochemical, radical‐mediated hydroselenation of alkenes under ambient conditions. This method modularly generates alkyl selenyl radicals from elemental selenium and alkyl (pseudo)halides, utilizing PhSiH3 and H2O as hydrogen atom donors, with the water likely originating from the air and/or trace water present in the reagents ...
