A Sustainable Adhesive Paradigm: Reversibly Reinforcing, Heat‐Free Bonding with Universal Substrates
A heat‐free adhesive system, delivering superior adhesion strength across metal, plastic, and glass substrates, is developed. Repeatable bonding with reinforcement instead of strength reduction enables error‐tolerant applications. This design paradigm establishes an eco‐friendly alternative to conventional adhesives, particularly suitable for ...

Ion‐Electron Fusion Transparent Film for Interactive Soft Robotics
An ion‐electron fusion transparent film with stable conductivity, high optical transmittance, and a broad linear strain‐sensing range of up to 300% is developed, attributed to the synergistic effects of ion penetration and microcrack design. When applied to soft robots, this film imparts proprioceptive sensing and underwater visible light communication

Dead Matter, Living Machines: Repurposing Crustaceans' Abdomen Exoskeleton for Bio‐Hybrid Robots
Crustacean exoskeletons, repurposed from food waste, are engineered into sustainable bending actuators combining biotic structure with synthetic control. The augmented exoskeletons achieve rapid and robust motion with lightweight body and can be used as part of robotic manipulators, grippers and swimmers.

An Elastocaloric Polymer with Ultra‐High Solid‐State Cooling via Defect Engineering
This work reports a defect‐engineering strategy that enables a record‐high adiabatic temperature change of up to 8.14 ± 1.76 °C in elastomers at an elevated temperature above 65 °C. Combined experimental and theoretical efforts reveal that increasing dangling‐chain defects nonmonotonically impacts the elastocaloric cooling performance of polymers due ...
