Dead Matter, Living Machines: Repurposing Crustaceans' Abdomen Exoskeleton for Bio‐Hybrid Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Crustacean exoskeletons, repurposed from food waste, are engineered into sustainable bending actuators combining biotic structure with synthetic control. The augmented exoskeletons achieve rapid and robust motion with lightweight body and can be used as part of robotic manipulators, grippers and swimmers.

Modulus Matching and Interface Enhancement: A Synergistic Strategy for Antidelamination High‐Performance Stretchable Triboelectric Nanogenerator

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A bioinspired TENG features a homologously paired interface with matched modulus. Ultrasonic cavitation enhances its toughness to 190 N m−1 (3.2× higher), preventing delamination under 400% strain. Abstract With the growing demand for flexible self‐powered energy sources for wearable bioelectronics, triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) have emerged as a ...

An Elastocaloric Polymer with Ultra‐High Solid‐State Cooling via Defect Engineering

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This work reports a defect‐engineering strategy that enables a record‐high adiabatic temperature change of up to 8.14 ± 1.76 °C in elastomers at an elevated temperature above 65 °C. Combined experimental and theoretical efforts reveal that increasing dangling‐chain defects nonmonotonically impacts the elastocaloric cooling performance of polymers due ...

Skeletal Editing of Alkenes with Nitroarenes via Photoinduced Rearrangement of N─O═C Dipoles Forms Lactams and Amides

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Skeletal editing of alkenes via the cascade cleavage of C(sp2)═C(sp2) and C(sp3)─C(sp3) bonds, enabling the insertion of the nitrogen atom and thereby the synthesis of lactam and amide derivatives using nitroarenes as nitrogen atom insertion reagents under light irradiation.
