A Self‐Healing Permanent Magnet Putty for Soft Robot Skins With Force Sensing and Functional Recovery

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Permanent magnet putty (PMP) integrates high‐coercivity NdFeB particles with a dynamic polyborosiloxane–Ecoflex matrix, achieving rapid self‐healing (90% mechanical recovery in 10 s) and magnetic recovery within 20 min. With twice the sensitivity of commercial putties, PMP enables precise 5–30 N force detection and discrimination between pressing and ...

Mechanistic Insight Into the Polymorph‐Dependent Photosalient Effect of a White Light or Two‐Photon Activated Photoreactive Molecular Salt

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Photocycloaddition in stilbene‐type salt polymorphs exhibit distinct light‐driven responses: OHT‐TI shows a violent photosalient effect under visible and NIR (two‐photon) irradiation, whereas OHT‐TII reacts statically. Packing and computational analysis reveals that shell‐like structures in OHT‐TI frustrate structural relaxation, accumulating explosive
