Circadian‐Inspired Hydrogel Moisture Electricity Generation
Advanced Science, EarlyView.A circadian‐inspired hydrogel moisture‐electric generator enables sustainable electricity generation by autonomously current direction switching between daytime and nighttime. This reversible output is accompanied by inversion of the internal water gradient, which effectively reduce hydrogel fatigue and offers a new strategy for harvesting diurnal ...

A Scalable Double‐Sided Wet Etching Strategy for Large‐Area Mushroom‐Shaped Bionic Adhesives
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This work presents a scalable manufacturing strategy for high‐performance, large‐area, mushroom‐shaped bio‐inspired adhesives. Using a double‐sided wet etching process, the complex 3D metal molds are fabricated rapidly and controllably. The resulting adhesive structures exhibit strong, stable adhesion under various conditions, including atmosphere and ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Hybrid electro‐thermochromic smart windows are developed for dynamic climate control by integrating a redox‐matched black electrochromic gel with a paraffin‐based thermochromic film. This synergistic combination enables multimodal solar modulation, where photothermal heating from the electrochromic layer triggers thermochromic activation at lower ...
