Plant Robotics for Sustainable and Environmentally Friendly Robots: Insights from Actuation Characteristics

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Plants are promising materials for building sustainable and eco‐friendly robots due to their inherent multifunctionality, with actuation playing a crucial role. This article focuses on the physical movements of plants and, from the perspective of actuation characteristics, explores representative plant species and their behaviors, the current state of ...

Interface Chemistry and Reaction Pathway Regulation for Boosted Redox Kinetics in Aqueous Zn–S Batteries

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The reaction properties of both electrodes in aqueous Zn‐S batteries is regulated by a tetramethylurea electrolyte additive. It preferentially adsorbs on the sulfur surface and coordinates to Zn2+, thereby altering their reaction process. The energy barrier is reduced and nucleation is promoted, which accelerates reaction kinetics.

Self‐Trapped Excitons in Carbon Quantum Dots with Large NIR‐II Photo‐Thermoelectric Catalysis Induce Pyroptosis for Cancer Therapy

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The self‐trapped excitons in carbon quantum dots can serve as NIR‐II absorbers, which efficiently induce pyroptosis by driving the generation of reactive oxygen species through mild NIR‐II photothermal effect. Combined with local photophysical therapy and the cascade reaction of pyroptosis, it can activate systemic immunity and prevent tumor recurrence.

Unraveling Alkali Ion Electron Donation for Enhancing Heterogeneous Catalytic Oxidation

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A new mechanistic pathway for potassium (K) ions as electron donors is identified by constructing single K ion chains confined within hexagonal WO3 tunnels. The as‐produced high‐electron‐density Kδ+ (0<δ<1) ions not only facilitate the formation of oxygen vacancies that behave classical electronic effect but, more importantly, also directly donate ...

SUPER: Upcycling Genetic Parts for Precise Gene Expression Control, Leakage Minimization, and Genetic Circuit Stability

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
To precisely modulate natural and synthetic regulatory parts, SUPER is introduced as a sophisticated and tunable controller of genetic devices without requiring sequence modification on the target. SUPER enhances dynamic range of RNA‐, chemical‐, temperature‐, and protein‐responsive biosensors up to 1011%, and converts biosensors to cover an expanded ...

Transition‐Metal‐Free Zeolite Composites for Tandem Catalytic Conversion of Methane to Light Olefins

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Light olefins can be produced from methane using a cascade catalytic system that combines transition‐metal‐free (FER zeolite with an acidic zeolite, such as SAPO‐34, under relatively mild conditions. In this tandem process, methane is first oxidized to methanol over the FER zeolite and then converted to olefins via the MTO reaction on the acidic ...
