In Situ Copper Electroplating Turns Material Extrusion 3D Printers Into Metal–Polymer Hybrid Fabricators

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
An in situ electroplating approach for MEX 3D printing is proposed, enabling copper deposition during the fabrication of conductive polymers. The method combines a printer‐integrated plating head, ML‐based g‐code control, and stop‐and‐go printing, achieving near‐bulk copper conductivity and enabling fully embedded, assembly‐free electronic components ...

Hierarchical Multi‐Material Architectures With Gradient Design for Dynamic‐Range Flexible Tactile Sensing

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Hierarchical multi‐material TPMS lattices are engineered as flexible tactile sensors by combining soft and stiff elastomeric layers with a conformal conductive coating. The bilayer architecture delivers sensitivity at low pressures while maintaining a broad detectable range under large loads, enabling reliable pressure and vibration monitoring for ...

Predictions of Auroral Electron Precipitation and Joule Heating at Uranus

Geophysical Research Letters
The precipitation of electrons and Joule heating are key processes through which energy is transferred from Uranus' magnetosphere to its upper atmosphere. These processes drive atmospheric ionization, thermospheric heating, and auroral emission at Uranus.

Reverse Intersystem Crossing and Exciton Harvesting: A Pathway to Low Threshold in Multi‐Resonant TADF Electrically Pumped Organic Semiconductor Lasers

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Electrically pumped organic lasing thresholds are lowered by mitigating triplet accumulation through a tailored host‐guest system. Integrating the multi‐resonant TADF emitter DABNA‐2 into a triplet‐scavenging BSBCz host suppresses singlet‐triplet annihilation.

ZnCl2 Post‐Treatment Enables High‐Efficiency Violet CsPbCl3 Quantum Dot LEDs

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Schematic illustration of ZnCl2 post‐treatment–induced doping in CsPbCl3 quantum dots (QDs). ABSTRACT Perovskite light‐emitting diodes (LEDs) have achieved external quantum efficiencies (EQEs) above 20% in the red, green, and blue spectral regions, yet their efficiency rapidly declines as the bandgap widens for shorter‐wavelength emission.

From Rigid to Soft Robotic Approaches for Neuroendoscopy

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Robotic assistance has had minimal impact on deep intraventricular surgeries, where small‐scale, precision, and reduced invasiveness can contribute to improved patient outcomes. Emerging technologies in rigid, soft, and hybrid robotics are reviewed to identify the most promising mechanisms for deep brain navigation in addition to an attempt to identify
