Dead Matter, Living Machines: Repurposing Crustaceans' Abdomen Exoskeleton for Bio‐Hybrid Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Crustacean exoskeletons, repurposed from food waste, are engineered into sustainable bending actuators combining biotic structure with synthetic control. The augmented exoskeletons achieve rapid and robust motion with lightweight body and can be used as part of robotic manipulators, grippers and swimmers.

Free‐Volume Regulation Enables Significantly Enhanced Electrical Breakdown via Short‐Chain Molecular Spatial‐Positioning Intercalation into Poly(vinylidene fluoride)

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
An innovative molecular spatial‐positioning shimming strategy is developed to optimize the electrical properties of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF). By intercalating polyethylene wax (PE wax) short‐chain molecules into PVDF's free volume, the film achieves a significantly enhanced energy density of 32.67 J cm−3.

A Van der Waals Material Exhibiting Room Temperature Broken Inversion Symmetry with Ferroelectricity

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reports a βp$\ubeta^{\text{p}}$ phase of indium selenide showing ferroelectricity over large areas at room temperature in a low‐dimensional limit. It is found that indium selenide films with βp$\ubeta^{\text{p}}$ layers display electric field‐induced switchable polarization characteristic of ferroelectric materials, suggesting the breaking ...

Gutmann Donor Theory‐Guided Design of Mononuclear Ionic Cluster for Exceptional N‐Type Thermoelectric Ionogel

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Super‐stretchable and self‐healing polyacrylate ternary ionogel elastomers are used for flexible i‐TE devices. Based on Gutmann donor theory of doped anion, the work proposes a three‐parameter tuning strategy of flexible polymer‐doped anion‐synergistic cation to achieve the systematic design of ionic thermoelectric materials. Abstract Quasi‐solid‐state,
