Hierarchical multiscale modeling of polymer-solid interfaces: atomistic to coarse-grained description, and structural and conformational properties of polystyrene-gold systems [PDF]
A hierarchical simulation approach was developed in order to study polystyrene films sandwiched between two parallel Au(111) surfaces. The coarse-grained potentials describing the interaction of polystyrene with the gold surface were developed ...

Digital Actuation Control of Soft Robotic Origami With Self‐Folding Liquid Crystal Elastomer Hinges
Self‐folding soft‐rigid hybrid robotic origami is enabled by liquid crystal elastomer actuators with embedded Joule heating and closed‐loop digital control. Digitally addressable hinges provide reversible and programmable transitions between distinct folded states while maintaining actuation performance at high cycle counts (over 1500).

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with metals have been recognized as versatile platforms for photocatalytic CO2 reduction (CO2PRR). Herein, an overview of metal integration strategies for COFs is systematically summarized. Regulatory mechanisms and structure–activity relationships between metal integration and COF‐based CO2PRR are emphasized.
