Programmable Carrier‐Free All‐Enzyme Beads for Modular Continuous‐Flow Biocatalysis
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Genetically encoded enzyme building blocks self‐assemble into monodisperse, carrier‐free protein beads via a droplet‐based formulation strategy. These programmable catalytic particles enable modular continuous‐flow biocatalysis, from single‐enzyme reactions to multi‐enzyme cascades and bead–bead coupled reactor systems.

Upscaling Pulsed Laser Fragmentation in Liquids by Advanced Free‐Flow Setups
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Advanced flow setups providing thin colloid films are introduced to upscale pulsed laser fragmentation in liquids for sustainable nanoparticle synthesis. Their potential is demonstrated by yielding remarkably small ZnO nanoparticles of <7 nm. Numerical simulations complement the study, revealing that the superior performance can be attributed to ...

Mutual Adaptation and Influence: Review of Latent Dynamics Models in Human–Robot Interaction
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Robots are becoming better teammates by learning hidden patterns in how people act. This review covers how state‐of‐the‐art approaches leverage these patterns to help robots not only react but also anticipate and guide cooperation. Here, we synthesize a unifying framework for these approaches, classify and review existing works, and highlight key ...
