Self‐Controlled Automated Strategy for the Synthesis of Gold Nanorods With Fine‐Tuned Longitudinal Absorption

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
This work proposes an innovative strategy which allows to synthesize precisely tuned gold nanorods starting from nonpurified dispersions with variable aspect‐ratio. The etching process is under direct control and can be stopped at any time by oxidizer quenching, providing stable dispersions.

Recent advances in boosting interfacial bubble dynamics with external fields

Droplet, EarlyView.
External physical fields, including acoustic, magnetic, thermal, mechanical, and optical stimuli, accelerate the entire bubble‐dynamics sequence of nucleation, growth, and detachment. Abstract The efficiency of industrial electrocatalytic reactions depends not only on generating gaseous products but also on their detachment from the catalyst surface ...

Stretch Tunable Active Frequency Selective Fabric for Dynamically Switchable Bandstop and Transparency

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
This stretchable active frequency selective fabric achieves reversible switching between bandstop and transparent states through strain‐induced reconfiguration of its conductive network. Its zero‐power and mechanically tunable characteristics offer potential for wearable electromagnetic functional materials.
