Surface‐Embedded Ag@Multilayer Graphene for Photothermal‐Enhanced Superhydrophobic Anti‐Icing Coatings

open access: yesRare Metals, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Harnessing solar energy for self‐heating presents an effective strategy to suppress surface ice formation. In this paper, we fabricated nano‐silver‐modified multilayer graphene sheets (Ag@MGs) that integrate photothermal and superhydrophobic properties for anti‐icing applications.

The Measurement‐Impact Gap: A Bibliometric Diagnosis of Development Finance Institutions and SDG Research

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The role of Development Finance Institutions (DFIs) in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is a topic of growing scholarly importance. While existing literature has mapped the thematic scope of this field, a critical diagnosis of its intellectual structure and inherent biases is missing.

Highly Dynamic Soft Electrohydraulic Origami Actuators for Agile and Multimodal Robotic Locomotion

open access: yesSmartBot, EarlyView.
Most current soft robots still lag far behind their natural counterparts in both agility and speed, mainly attributed to the limited morphing modes and performance of soft actuators. Here, the authors report a new methodology of electrohydraulic origami (EHO) for creating powerful and multimodal soft actuators with large strain, high speed, lightweight,
