A Folded, Structure‐Integrated Bimodal Sensor Enabling Non‐Contact and Tactile Perception for Intelligent Robots

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A foldable bimodal sensor integrates a triboelectric nanogenerator and graphene piezoresistive effect into a monolithic laser‐induced graphene film. It enables synchronous non‐contact and tactile perception, achieving a distance of 110 mm, a sensitivity of 11.2 kPa−1, and a response time of 10 ms.

Extra Climate Benefits From Afforestation Due to Reduced Forest Fragmentation in China

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Afforestation in China reduced forest fragmentation in 2015, transforming 51.8 M ha of edge forests into interior forests. This enhanced carbon sequestration (1.4±0.2 Pg CO2e, a cooling biogeochemical effect), while reduced albedo (−0.9 Pg CO2e, a warming biophysical effect) partially offset the gain, yielding a net extra climate benefit of ...

Tailoring K+ Dosage in K+/Zn2+ Mixed Electrolytes via Lattice Expansion Regulation of Zinc Hexacyanoferrate for High‐performance Zinc Ion Batteries

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The study proposes a fitting curve as a reference to quantify the optimal K+ ratio in K+/Zn2+ mixed electrolyte, thus achieving stable and high‐capacity aqueous zinc ion batteries at each current density. ABSTRACT Incorporating K+ into Zn‐based electrolytes can enhance the performance of aqueous zinc ion batteries, while the lack of a clear rule for ...
