Breaking the Surface: Buoyant Metal–Polymer Open–Cell Hybrid Lattice Metamaterials

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Open‐cell metal–polymer lattice metamaterials that defy sinking. (a) Injection process of the polyurethane (PU) foam into the titanium (Ti‐6Al‐4V) hollow‐strut lattice creating the open‐cell Ti‐6Al‐4V+PU hybrid lattice, (b) flotation test of a hybrid lattice specimen, and (c) a digital representation and experimental validation of a marine buoy ...

Side‐Chain‐Induced Interlayer Slipping in Metalloporphyrin COFs Enables Microenvironment and Spin‐State Regulation for Photocatalytic CO2 Reduction

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Alkoxy chain length drives a continuous transition from eclipsed AA to a serrated, slipped AA* configuration over Co‐porphyrin COFs. A moderate slip both contracts the pore channel to enrich CO2 and suppress hydrogen evolution, and enhances collective high‐spin of Co sites, which delivers a record CO production rate with high selectivity.

Breaking Optical Transparency and Electromagnetic Performance Trade‐Offs for Transparent Reflective Metasurfaces

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
A theory‐guided magnetoelectric metasurface design breaks the conventional optical transparency and electromagnetic performance trade‐offs. By preserving the electric and magnetic current paths required for efficient reflection through fine‐metal‐line structure, the developed transparent reflective metasurface achieves high optical transparency without

From Rigid to Soft Robotic Approaches for Neuroendoscopy

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Robotic assistance has had minimal impact on deep intraventricular surgeries, where small‐scale, precision, and reduced invasiveness can contribute to improved patient outcomes. Emerging technologies in rigid, soft, and hybrid robotics are reviewed to identify the most promising mechanisms for deep brain navigation in addition to an attempt to identify

Asymmetry in Skipping Enhances Viability Against Control Input Noise

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Quadruped animals use asymmetric galloping gaits at high speeds, yet the functional role of this asymmetry remains unclear. This study shows that left–right asymmetry in touchdown angles enhances robustness to control noise. Using a simple two‐legged locomotion model and viability theory, it demonstrates that asymmetric skipping substantially enlarges ...

Wildflower sowings as alternative for conventional inter-row greening in German vineyards

Basic and Applied Ecology
Most European vineyards contribute little to biodiversity preservation due to intensive agricultural practices and a low plant species diversity that has low potential to support benefical insects such as pollinators.
