Turning Water Into a Tool: From Degradation Pathways to Functional Engineering in Halide Perovskites

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Water exhibits a threshold‐dependent dual role in lead halide perovskites, acting either as a degradation trigger or as a powerful tool for defect passivation, recrystallization, and structural engineering. This review discusses how controlled water‐mediated interactions govern stability, dimensionality, and optoelectronic performance, providing ...

A Study on the Effect of External Loading for the Composite Material Layup of a Large Wind Turbine Blade Based on a Pattern Search Algorithm

Energies
As the trend towards larger wind turbines continues, the increasing length of wind turbine blades imposes higher demands on their structural properties. Long flexible wind turbine blades at the hundred-meter scale now typically employ composite materials.

Rapid Room‐Temperature Ethanol Sensing in Bi2MoO6/rGO Heterostructures: Weak Adsorption‐Driven Charge Modulation

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This work establishes Bi2MoO6/rGO heterostructures as a mechanism‐guided platform for high‐performance room‐temperature ethanol gas detection by showing that modest adsorption, in conjunction with dynamic interfacial band modulation, enables rapid charge‐transfer.

Flexible and Scalable 2D/3D Tin‐Based Perovskite Photodetectors via Inkjet Printing

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Lead‐free tin‐based perovskite films are successfully fabricated via scalable inkjet printing on rigid and flexible substrates. Incorporating high‐purity precursors and dual‐layer encapsulation minimizes defects and eliminates oxidation. The resulting photodetectors demonstrate high responsivity, persistent photoconductivity, and excellent 30 day ...

Elimination of Necking and Aspect Ratio Dependence in Uniaxial Actuators by Continuous Fiber Reinforcement

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A novel carbon fiber reinforcement for dielectric elastomer actuators enhances actuation force while decoupling electromechanical performance from the actuator's aspect ratio. Unlike conventional fiber reinforcements, it enables a uniform planar stretch state along the entire actuator.

Collision‐Resilient Winged Drones Enabled by Tensegrity Structures

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Based on structures of birds such as the woodpeck, this article presents the collision‐resilient aerial robot, SWIFT. SWIFT leverages tensegrity structures in the fuselage and wings which allow it to undergo large deformations in a crash, without sustaining damage. Experiments show that SWIFT can reduce impact forces by 70% over conventional structures.

Nonlocomotory Robotic Strategies for Dynamic Rotation Control in Terrestrial Robots: A Review

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Terrestrial robots increasingly require rapid body rotation to maintain stability and agility in complex environments. This review shows nonlocomotory rotational control strategies that operate without ground contact, including reaction wheels, tails, bars, limbs, and thrusters.

Aerothermal optimization of squealer geometry in axial flow turbines using genetic algorithm

Journal of Thermal Engineering, 2018
In turbomachines, a tip gap is required in order to allow the relative motion of the blade and to prevent the blade tip surface from rubbing. This gap which lay out between the blade tip surface and the casing, results in fluid leakage due to the ...

Tumbling Magnetic Microrobots for Targeted In Vivo Drug Delivery in the GI Tract

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
We introduce a microrobot design and integrated system for on‐demand targeted drug release in the gastrointestinal tract. The microrobot has an embedded magnet for actuation with external magnetic fields and is visualized in real time using ultrasound. It has two drug release ports sealed with a thermally sensitive wax. Local heating of the wax using a
