Divergent Synthesis of Möbius and Hückel N‐Heterocycloarenes From a Common Macrocyclic Backbone

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
In the divergent synthesis of Möbius and Hückel N‐heterocycloarenes from a common macrocyclic precursor, the annulation reaction dictates topology: Scholl reaction gives Möbius topology, while InCl3‐mediated alkyne annulation gives Hückel topology. The Möbius N‐heterocycloarene is unevenly contorted as revealed by crystal structure, and the Hückel N ...

Single‐Atom Control of Aromaticity and Excited‐State Dynamics in Endohedral Zirconium–Antimony Zintl Clusters

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Single‐atom growth from [Zr@Sb12]2− to [Zr@Sb13]3− disrupts the closed‐shell S2P6 superatomic configuration and markedly attenuates three‐dimensional (3D) aromaticity. Ultrafast spectroscopy further links stronger spherical aromaticity to slower excited‐state relaxation, establishing an atom‐resolved structure‐aromaticity‐dynamics relationship ...

Pre‐Curved Everting Robots With Embedded Steering Intelligence Fabricated by CO2 Laser Welding

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Design and experimental demonstration of a laser welded growing robot for anatomically guided navigation. The robot follows an aortic arch phantom entering the branchiocephalic branch through steering by design. The figure shows the physical phantom setup, CAD defined weld geometry and full robot eversion.

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

open access: yesAngewandte 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 ...

Streamlining Diagnosis of Bardet–Biedl Syndrome: New Diagnostic Algorithm With Updated Criteria

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Considerable advances have been made in our understanding of Bardet–Biedl syndrome (BBS), particularly in its core clinical features and molecular genetics, warranting an update to the existing diagnostic criteria framework. Using a rigorous, evidence‐based, and consensus‐driven process, a multidisciplinary group of international experts and ...
