Degradable Magnetic Composites from Recycled NdFeB Magnets for Soft Actuation and Sensing
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This work presents a degradable soft magnetic composite made from recycled NdFeB particles embedded in a gelatin‐based organogel. The material is processed into magnetic sensors and soft robotic components, which can later be dissolved in a green solvent to recover NdFeB magnetic particles.

Monolithic Integration of Silicon Nanowires With a Microgripper [PDF]
Journal of Microelectromechanical Systems, 2009 Si nanowire (NW) stacks are fabricated by utilizing the scalloping effect of inductively coupled plasma deep reactive ion etching. When two etch windows are brought close enough, scallops from both sides will ideally meet along the dividing centerline of the windows turning the separating material column into an array of vertically stacked strings ...

Diorganotelluride···N Chalcogen Bonds: Analysis and Tuning of Two σ‐Holes
Zeitschrift für anorganische und allgemeine Chemie, EarlyView.Two new chalcogen bond aggregates were analyzed using single crystal X‐ray diffraction: an oligomeric ChB aggregate between bis(pentafluorophenyl) telluride and DABCO, and a monoadduct between (pentafluorophenyl)(phenyl) telluride and quinuclidine. In addition to some of the shortest intermolecular Te···N contacts reported, these structures provide ...
