Biohybrid Crawling Robot With Spiral‐Spring Backbone and Inclined Legs for Enhanced Locomotion
We present a biohybrid crawling robot integrating a muscle ring with a flexible skeleton combining two complementary structural elements. The spiral‐spring backbone enables large‐amplitude bending without compromising axial stability, while outward‐inclined legs with unequal front–rear lengths effectively convert deformation into directional strides ...

Descriptor‐Informed Screening of Interface‐Active Molecules for Efficient Magnesium Metal Anodes
A descriptor‐informed molecular screening strategy identifies 4‐bromo‐N, N‐dimethylaniline (BrNNA) as an interface‐active electrolyte component that enables fast Mg stripping/plating in Mg(TFSI)2‐based electrolytes. By simultaneously regulating Mg2+ solvation and interphase formation, the BrNNA‐containing electrolyte delivers activation‐free Mg ...

Alternating oxidative–reductive pulses synchronize CO2‐derived *CO and NH3‐derived *NHx intermediates over dual Cu and Co single‐atom sites, enabling urea and ethyl urea formation with a total C─N Faradaic efficiency of 42 ± 4%. In situ spectroscopy and theoretical calculations elucidate complementary Cu and Co functions, while oxidative controls ...

Directional Confinement Governed Ion Transport for Efficient Actuation
Structural anisotropy provides an effective means to regulate ion transport in polymer electrolytes. Directionally aligned channels formed by freeze‐drying provide continuous pathways for ion migration, enhancing ion mobility and simultaneously improving the strain and blocking force of ionic actuators.
