Nanoporous Microelectrodes for Neural Electrophysiology Recordings in Organotypic Culture

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
The highly porous microelectrodes have been designed and printed on culture membranes, allowing to record electrophysiological neural activity for rodent brain slices. To keep the biocompatible nanoporous structure, the microelectrodes and insulative layer are fabricated on the bottom of culture membranes with only small connector pads added on the top.

Chiral Potassium Brønsted Base‐Catalyzed Stereoselective Synthesis of 1,3‐Diols via a Tandem Allylic Isomerization/Asymmetric Aldol–Tishchenko Reaction

Advanced Synthesis &Catalysis, EarlyView.
Chiral potassium base catalysts featuring 1,1´‐bi‐2‐naphthol‐derived chiral crown ethers as ligands promote a tandem allylic isomerization/asymmetric aldol‐Tishchenko reaction of allylic alcohols and aldehydes. This method provides enantioenriched 1,3‐diols with excellent diastereoselectivity and high enantioselectivity, thereby expanding the synthetic

Ecosystem‐Centered Robot Design: Toward Ecoresorbable Sustainability Robots (ESRs)

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Robots exploring natural ecosystems can support monitoring and conservation, but must adopt ecosystem‐centered design to avoid pollution, waste, and damage. This review proposes guidelines for co‐designing ecoresorbable sustainability robots (ESRs), uniting materials, robotics, and ecological contexts in a single framework.
