Developing Soft Interconnected Microchannel Network for 2D Skin‐Like Actuator

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A soft interconnected network of microchannels is proposed to develop new pneumatic actuators for future bio‐inspired soft robots. Simultaneous stimulation of this network generates regional asymmetric strains in walls of microchannels whose interaction across the entire surface leads to bending curvatures in multidimensions.

The effects of microplastics size and type on entrapment by freshwater macrophytes under vertical and lateral deposition

Journal of Limnology
Marine and freshwater macrophytes are known to filter off microplastics from the water column; however, the effects of microplastic size and type on their retention by different macrophytes species have yet to be investigated.

Architecture‐Engineered Semi‐Crystalline Microporous Polymer Membranes for Precise Molecular Separation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Guided by a Random Forest model, a π–π‐driven ordered stacking strategy deploys functionally distinct substructures to restrict chain segment motion and increase free volume, while preserving the intermolecular interactions that maintain structural integrity.

A Tert‐Alkyl Terephthalate Derivative as a Universal Degradable Unit for Condensation Polymers

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A sterically bulky dicarboxylic acid core bearing a tertiary alkyl ester enables photocatalytic C─O bond cleavage via generation of a stabilized tertiary alkyl radical. Incorporated into polyarylate, polyurethane, and polyester, this universal trigger facilitates efficient degradation under identical conditions (up to 99% within 2–4 h). Remarkably, the

Ferroionic Electrostatic Landscapes Enabling Wireless Energy Harvesting, Storage, and Sensing

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
By integrating experiments and electrostatic field simulations, we show that long‐range wireless coupling in Li‐based ferroionics devices emerges from the cooperative interaction between ionic migration and electronic polarization. This coupling sustains self‐polarized electrostatic fields across centimeter‐scale air gaps without external bias or ...
