A smart power‐generating coating is developed to harvest energy from both ambient humidity and impacting liquid droplets. The integrated system delivers sustained open‐circuit voltages of 0.85 V from moisture and up to 36 V from droplets. Its scalable coating architecture enables a continuous power supply for low‐power electronic devices.

Salt Water Drops Slide Faster: Ionic Modulation of Drop Friction
Salt ions markedly accelerate water drops on conductive substrates coated with nanometer‐thin hydrophobic layers. Across diverse electrolytes and surfaces, higher ion concentration consistently lowers kinetic friction by reducing contact angle hysteresis.

In‐Wheel Piezoelectric DC Power Generator With Zero Resistive Torque
In this paper, we present a wheel‐shaped direct‐current piezoelectric generator (DC‐PG) that fundamentally overcomes these constraints by producing phase‐stable DC electricity directly from rolling motion. By embedding this system into suitcase wheels, we demonstrated a fully integrated real‐time location tracking system powered solely by mechanical ...

A solvent‐free, open‐mill shear protocol nucleates 2.6 nm CsPbBr3 QDs uniformly within brominated butyl rubber. The emitters showed 91% PLQY, 1189 ns lifetime, and > 90% retention after 30‐day ambient storage and water immersion, respectively. Board‐to‐board forms 17 × 17 cm2 flexible films for 132% NTSC white LEDs, scintillators, and stretchable ...
