Thermometric Based‐Microswimmers with Chemical and Optical Engines
Temperature sensing at small scales is typically performed using passive luminescent particles. Here, an alternative approach is demonstrated by integrating upconversion thermometry into self‐propelled microswimmers powered by chemical fuels or light. This strategy offers a step toward dynamic thermal sensing at the microscale, relevant to both lab‐on ...

Modular Electronic Microrobots With Onboard Sensor‐Program‐Steered Locomotion
Modular electronic smartlet microrobots integrate ambient‐light energy harvesting, photodetection, programmable CMOS control, and bubble‐based actuation within a sub‐millimeter fold‐up architecture. A 58‐bit on‐board CMOS chiplet enables sensor–program steered switching between independently addressable actuators, achieving closed‐loop 2D navigation in

A fully metal‐free heterojunction constructed from graphdiyne (GDY) and polymeric carbon nitride (PCN) enables efficient coupling of CO2 reduction and tetrahydrofuran oxidation. GDY serves as a hole‐transport channel, establishing a built‐in electric field that drives spatial charge separation. The optimized catalyst achieves near‐unity selectivity for

Enzyme‐Like Synthetic Cleft for Light‐Driven Water‐Oxidation Catalysis Via an Oxide Relay Pathway
A carboxylic acid group introduced into the second coordination sphere of a Ru(bda) water oxidation catalyst forms a defined hydrogen bond within the catalytic cleft. This interaction locks the group in place and enables an intramolecular oxide relay pathway between Ru(V)═O and the carboxylate group, providing a distinct and efficient route for O─O ...
