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.

Evolution of OLED Lamination Technology With Development of Display Form Factors

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This review evaluates the evolution of organic light‐emitting diode (OLED) lamination technologies alongside advancing display form factors. It contrasts optically clear adhesives and resins, highlighting uniformity control for rigid screens, bubble‐free optimization for bended architectures, and visible‐light curing for foldable layers.

In Situ Two‐Dimensional Residual Stress Characterization of Thin Films

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
An integrated in situ curvature metrology platform combining speckle‐based curvature optical metrology (SCOM) with multi‐beam optical sensors (MOS) enables spatially resolved two‐dimensional curvature mapping of thick sputtered coatings. The SCOM technique provides excellent agreement with MOS while providing an extended measurable curvature range ...

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.

Transition in Global Basins From Precipitation‐Dominated to Evaporative Demand‐Dominated Meteorological Drought: Past Patterns and Future Projections

Earth's Future
Meteorological drought, one of the most destructive natural hazards, is driven by both precipitation deficits and high evaporative demand. While precipitation has traditionally been considered the dominant driver, recent studies suggest an increasing ...

Multimodal Locomotion in Insect‐Inspired Microrobots: A Review of Strategies for Aerial, Surface, Aquatic, and Interfacial Motion

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This review identifies key design considerations for insect‐inspired microrobots capable of multimodal locomotion. To draw inspiration, biological and robotic strategies for moving in air, on water surfaces, and underwater are examined, along with approaches for crossing the air–water interface.

A 1-km Dataset of Water Consumption and Irrigation for Major Grain Crops in the Yellow River Basin Based on the Crop Water Production Function

Scientific Data
Accurate estimation of crop water consumption and irrigation in the Yellow River Basin (YRB) is vital for water management and food security. Existing forward-logic methods (e.g., crop hydrological modeling method) fail to fully simulate key processes ...
