Design Challenges to Expand the Functionality of Drones: Deformable Rotorcraft and Nature‐Inspired Flapping Drones

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This review systematically analyzes deformable drones, including extendable, foldable, and tilting configurations, along with nature‐inspired flapping rotorcraft. By classifying deformation principles and structural mechanisms, design trade‐offs, functional capabilities, and future development potential are highlighted.

Multicatalytic Access to Renewable Poly(Silyl Ether)s with Tunable Properties

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
This work presents a one‐pot, multicatalytic approach that combines magnesium‐catalyzed esterification and borane‐mediated hydrosilylation for the synthesis of partially bio‐based poly(silyl ethers). This method allows for the tuning of thermal and mechanical properties, including exceptional extensibility (>3800%), and enables efficient chemical ...

Electropermanent Magnetic Muscles: Power‐Efficient, Low‐Voltage, Compact Magnetic Actuators to Power Wearables and Untethered Robots

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This work presents compact, low‐voltage actuators based on electropermanent magnetic interactions. The actuators show good overall performance across key metrics and are implemented in wearable devices and untethered robots. Their ability to operate in different configurations and hold positions without energy input highlights their potential for ...

Experimental Isolation of Single Impact, Cumulative Energy, Aging, and Liquid‐Assisted Grinding Effects in Mechanochemical Reactions

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
An experimental framework is introduced to isolate single‐impact and cumulative energy within a mechanochemical system. The guided, stepwise approach highlights the fundamental roles of impact events, post‐impact reactivity, and liquid‐assisted grinding additives in all‐solid mechanochemical reactions.

Worm‐Inspired Soft Robots With Modular Outfit‐Changing for Intelligent Multienvironment Adaptation

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study proposes a worm‐inspired soft robot capable of locomotion across multiple environments through a modular “outfit‐changing” strategy. The robot integrates pneumatically actuated peristaltic segments with interchangeable external modules, enabling efficient motion on ground surfaces, within pipelines, through granular media, and underwater ...

Solar Flow Synthesis of Polymer Nanoparticles: Scaling Local Experiments to Global Potential

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
The large‐scale sunlight‐induced photochemical synthesis of polymer nanoparticles based on the Diels–Alder step‐growth polymerization of a bismaleimide and a difunctional o‐methylbenzaldehyde in a self‐built solar flow reactor is introduced. Furthermore, a framework is established to translate sunlight‐driven experimental results globally—validated in ...
