Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.This work studies the effect of halide alloying in Cs3Bi2(Br1−xIx)9 (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) semiconductors. The x = 0.6 shows the smallest bandgap, lowest exciton binding energy, and longest charge carrier lifetimes, showing promising properties for optoelectronic and photocatalytic applications.

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.
