Dual‐Responsive Yarn‐Based Artificial Muscles for Adaptive Thermal Management

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Inspired by the conscious movements of skeletal muscle, a novel hybrid yarn‐based artificial muscle (HYAM) coupling moisture actuation with controllable recovery is developed. This unique design increases actuation stroke by 128% and shortens recovery time by 91%. This unique design enhances the actuation stroke by 128% and reduces the recovery time by

Ion‐Confinement‐Assisted Erasure Purifies Oxidized MXene for Reuse

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
An erasure‐purification strategy removes surface‐derived TiO2 from oxidized Ti3C2Tx MXene by ion‐confinement‐induced interfacial conversion to soluble titanates, followed by brief acid washing. The scalable process enables approximately 70% material recovery, restores electrical conductivity, and recovers functional performance, including high ...

A study of energy scavenging strategy in a tapping tree power [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Energy harvesting has become one of the newest research attraction for both academic and industry fields. The energy is captured from external sources (thermal, wind, solar, vibration and hydrodynamic) and the energy source for energy harvesters is ...

Freeze, thaw, fracture? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Why does freezing break up rock? Everybody knows that when water freezes it expands by nine percent to be precise. If it seeps into rocks and then freezes, the rocks can fracture and split apart, a process known as frost weathering.

Natural and simulated aging of historical glasses [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We thoroughly studied coloured glass tesserae of historical glass windows of the Santi Giovanni e Paolo Church in Venice by means of ESEM and XPS techniques in order to evaluate the weathering mechanisms of the glass surfaces.

Solar Flow Synthesis of Polymer Nanoparticles: Scaling Local Experiments to Global Potential

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
The large‐scale sunlight‐induced photochemical synthesis of polymer nanoparticles based on the Diels–Alder step‐growth polymerization of a bismaleimide and a difunctional o‐methylbenzaldehyde in a self‐built solar flow reactor is introduced. Furthermore, a framework is established to translate sunlight‐driven experimental results globally—validated in ...
