From Origami to Bistable and Laminate Structures: A Review for Multifunctional Applications from Structural Perspective of Shape‐Changing Structures

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This review explores how shape‐changing structures—origami, bistable, and laminate structures—enable multifunctionality in soft robotics and metamaterials. Starting from structural design, it examines core principles, real‐world applications, and ongoing challenges.

Contrasting effects of experimental warming in the initiation year and the flowering year on flower phenology of boreal understory species

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise High‐latitude plants initiate flower primordia at least 1 year before flowering. While impacts of rising temperatures on phenology in the flowering year are well studied, the effects of warmer temperatures in the initiation year (IY; the year before flowering) are virtually unknown.

Combined In‐Solution and On‐Surface Synthesis of a Fully Fused Cross‐Shaped Phthalocyanine Pentamer

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
A phthalocyanine (Pc) pentamer was obtained through the combination of in‐solution and on‐surface synthesis under ultra‐high vacuum conditions. The resulting Pc‐based nanostructure presents an exact 4:1 ratio of two different metal ions with precise positional control.

Au42(PET)32 Nanocluster Sensitizer Unlocks the Annihilator Potential of Rubrene, Enabling High‐Performance NIR‐to‐Visible Photon Upconversion

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
A needle‐shaped gold nanocluster, Au42(PET)32, serves as a powerful triplet sensitizer, enabling rubrene to fully express its intrinsic annihilator capability (spin statistical factor f = 0.58). This sensitizer–annihilator pair achieves record‐high upconversion internal quantum yields of 21.4% (808 nm excitation) and 15.0% (936 nm excitation ...
