Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.This work proposes the use of multimaterial microrobots for pH sensing. The microrobots consist of a hard polymer backbone and 4D printed sensing elements made of a pH‐responsive hydrogel. The swelling response, reusability, and high mobility of the microrobots make them promising tools for pH sensing at the micro scale.

Controlled Air Gap Formation between W and TiO2 Films via Sub‐Surface TiO2 Atomic Layer Etching
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Delivering SiH4 and WF6 to a lined array of TiO2 films produces a thin film of tungsten while simultaneously, the underlying TiO2 is removed. When the W‐coated TiO2 structure is exposed to further etching cycles after deposition, TiO2 etching continues vertically and laterally, creating a self‐supported W structure and a vacant air gap.
