A Modular Variable Stiffness Co‐Bot System Achieving Tasks Flexibility and Contact Compliance

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Bio‐inspired antagonistic compliance enables a modular rigid‐soft co‐bot platform with variable stiffness for safe human‐robot interaction (HRI): Standardized interfaces support application‐driven configurations with tailored DoFs, workspace, and stiffness range, making the system suited to HRI and low‐volume automation.

ZrCo3B2 and HfCo3B2 Electrodes Go on Stage for Oxygen Evolution Reaction

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The intermetallic compounds ZrCo3B2 and HfCo3B2 with distinctive chemical bonding features are excellent OER precursors, restructuring into OER‐active electrocatalysts delivering significantly high OER activities compared to the elemental Co, which is obvious from their lower onset potentials and increased obtained current densities.

Reducing Ion Transport Friction by Mitigated Diluent‐Solvent Interaction for Sodium–Sulfur Battery

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A local high‐concentration electrolyte to balance the ionic conductivity and interfacial stability is developed through replacing the high solvating DME with the moderate solvating diethyl ether to mitigate the diluent‐solvent interaction and reduce the local dynamic friction for Na+ transport, while maintaining the anion‐rich solvation clusters and ...

Achieving High‐Instantaneous Pulse Power in Contact‐Separation TENG via Series Capacitive Voltage Control Architecture

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Conventional contact‐separation triboelectric nanogenerators generate high voltage but deliver limited power due to premature charge dissipation. Here, a capacitive charge reservoir architecture decouples charge accumulation from discharge triggering, enabling sequential voltage amplification via floating‐layer capacitive coupling.

Diblock Copolymer Nanoparticles Act as Nanoreactors for the Synthesis of Sterically‐Stabilized Inorganic Oxide Particles in Non‐polar Media

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Poly(lauryl methacrylate)‐poly(2‐hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PLMA‐PHEMA) diblock copolymer nanoparticles prepared in non‐polar media serve as nanoreactors for the in situ synthesis of silica from tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS). A silica mass loading of 17% as judged by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) produces a highly transparent dispersion, and ...

Adaptive Hydrogenation of Alkynes Using CO as a Molecular Trigger to Selectively Produce Alkanes or Z‐Alkenes

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
One catalyst for two products: CO acts as a molecular trigger for adaptive alkyne hydrogenation using supported Pd nanoparticles. The catalyst reversibly switches between the formation of alkanes under H2 and Z‐alkenes under H2/CO for 37 structurally diverse alkynes.
