Intelligent Continuum Micromachines in Complex Confined Spaces
The cover depicts a conceptual design for an intelligent continuum micromachine entering a target capsule used in fusion‐energy research through its slender gas‐fill tube. By combining route‐adaptive deformation, embedded sensing, and a functional end effector, the robot could inspect hidden defects, assess local conditions, and support localized ...

Six unique carbon coating methods are applied to the synthesis of LiMn0.6Fe0.4PO4. The electrochemical performance of the synthesized LiMn0.6Fe0.4PO4 in full cells depends on the uniformity and conductivity of the carbon coating produced. Transition‐metal dissolution is effectively reduced when the carbon coating is optimized as a protective layer ...
