Temperature‐ and Light‐Regulated Liquid Crystal Smart Window for Dynamic Control of Daylight and Solar Heat in All‐Weather Conditions

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
An environmentally adaptive smart window based on the interplay of light‐driven molecular motors and liquid crystal (LC) polymers is developed. The window can dynamically switch among three distinct working states: transparent, reflective, and scattering, depending on ambient temperature and solar light intensity, enabling excellent modulation of ...

Collaborative Visual Localization for Modular Self‐Reconfigurable Robots

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Relative localization in modular self‐reconfigurable robots is challenged by hardware limitations, constrained fields of view, and sensor faults. This paper, based on the SnailBot platform, presents a vision‐based collaborative localization method that combines ArUco markers with learning‐based algorithms to enable robust pose estimation from ...

Natural Sunlight IR‐Driven Highly Efficient Synthesis of Acetaldehyde From Bioethanol Over Cu/Fe2O3

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
This work reports a Cu/Fe2O3 catalyst for the conversion of bioethanol into valuable acetaldehyde and green hydrogen under both infrared (IR) light and natural sunlight. This IR‐driven system sets a new performance benchmark, with TON and initial TOF enhanced by at least one order of magnitude, enabled by a constructed IR photon‐to‐phonon channel and ...

Asymmetric Whisker‐Inspired Sensor Pairs for Enhanced Airflow Sensing on Drones

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This work incorporates asymmetric cross‐sections into a whisker‐inspired sensor pair to enhance airflow sensing. By comparing signals between two offset asymmetric whiskers, the system improves flow heading estimation and identifies the presence of fan‐generated wind during quadrotor flight.

Enabling Moisture and Interfacial Stability in Sulfide Solid Electrolytes via a Processable Organic Coating Strategy for High‐Voltage All‐Solid‐State Batteries

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
The solid electrolyte, argyrodite (Li6PS5Cl or LPSCl), “waxed” with a 25 nm coating of decanoic acid (DA; C10H19O2) is protected against hydrolysis at high relative humidity and maintains its ionic conductivity. DA–LPSCl exhibits enhanced stability at both NCM|DA–LPSCl and Li|DA–LPSCl interfaces: solid state batteries with a bare NCM85 cathode and Li ...

Perception of Dry Air: Links to the Indoor Environment and Respiratory and Allergic Symptoms Among Occupants

Atmosphere
Perceived dry air is a common complaint in indoor environments, yet its health associations and environmental factors related to this perception are unclear. We surveyed 7865 families and measured the indoor environment in 399 dwellings in Tianjin, China,
