Liquid metal “sloshing” by the robot's own actuator is proposed to improve the self‐healing performance. The proposed method drastically enhances the healed strength by decomposing the surface oxides and the impurities. The method contributes to the world's first demonstration of active self‐healing behavior performed by a life‐sized legged robot. Self‐

Nuclear quantum confinement enables robust deuterium bonds for highly reversible aluminum anodes
The hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) fundamentally limits aluminum electroreduction in aqueous electrolytes by dominating interfacial charge transfer. Here, we suppress HER by engineering deuterium bonds (D‐bonds) through nuclear quantum effects, confining D between D₂O and DMF molecules.

ABSTRACT Self‐healing materials, which introduce a new approach to innovative materials, can aid in the repair of polymers and composites, leading to the development of more durable and reliable products. In polymer matrix composites, healing micro‐ or macrocracks helps to eliminate structural defects.
