Self‐Spiking Linear Neuromorphic Soft Pressure Sensor for Underwater Sensing Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents a novel design of a neuromorphic pressure sensor that can generate self‐spiking symmetric signals with direct event‐based encoding through the integration of magnetic spheres and alternating coil circuits. The key advantages of this work include high linearity up to 200 kPa (R2 = 0.997), self‐spiking behavior for simplified signal ...

Heterogenized Copper(II) Phenanthroline Catalysts for Electroreduction of CO2 to C2 Compounds: Substitution on the Ligand Causes Structural Changes to the Molecular Framework and Stability Enhancement

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Based on a previously reported binuclear Cu(II) phenanthroline catalyst, a structurally modified version with enhanced stability for electrochemical reduction of CO2 is developed. The second‐generation system allows for stable operation in an MEA electrolyzer with a Faradaic efficiency of >70% for C2 products at elevated current densities.

“Three‐Color” Chemical Selectivity between Oxide, Nitride, and Silicon: Area‐Selective Deposition of Metal Oxide and Polymer on SiN and Si‐H versus SiO2

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Molybdenum hexafluoride as a pretreatment is able to create a chemical contrast between SiN and SiO2 surfaces via selective fluorine passivation of the oxide. One dose of MoF6 enabled 9.7 nm of selective deposited TiO2 on SiN versus SiO2 with selectivity >0.92 on a nanoscale SiN/SiO2 patterned surface.

Investigation of Exothermic Behaviors of Energetic Particles in Microfluidics Channels

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Scheme and representative frames of delivery, ignition, and combustion process of core@shell Al@CuO energetic material in a microchannel. The electrical discharge occurred at the throat of microchannel leads to the combustion of the energetic reaction, causing the formation of high‐momentum butterfly‐shaped jet at the throat.

Inflatable Kirigami Crawlers

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Inflatable kirigami crawlers are fabricated from heat‐sealable textiles and achieve motion through cyclic pneumatic actuation. Strategically placed kirigami cuts guide asymmetric deformation, doubling contraction compared to traditional pouches and forming scale‐like surfaces.
