Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Remote catalytic dehydrogenation enables the direct growth of monolayer amorphous carbon on a 2‐inch sapphire wafer by thermal CVD. Spatial separation of the catalyst from the growth substrate eliminates metallic residue and post‐growth processing, yielding a wafer‐scale uniform film with a random polygonal sp2‐hybridized carbon network that exhibits ...

Enhanced Xylene Sensing Performance of Fe‐Doped NiO Nanosheet Arrays via In Situ Growth
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.Xylene is a hazardous volatile organic compound (VOC) widely present in industrial environments, and achieving sensitive and stable detection of xylene remains a significant challenge for gas sensors. Here, a one‐step hydrothermal route was employed to in situ grow p‐type Fe‐doped NiO nanosheet arrays on ceramic tubes for xylene detection.

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Single‐filament material extrusion enables spatial stiffness programming through locally controlled thermal foaming of TPU. A data‐driven G‐code framework tunes porosity from 15.7% to 40.7% and hardness from 90 to 63 Shore A within and across layers. Monolithic hands and soft actuators consequently achieve distinct programmed motions without material ...
