Towards Advanced Intelligent and Perceptive Soft Grippers

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Implementing soft yet strong and intelligent soft grippers request innovative and creative solutions in designing soft bodies and seamlessly integrating actuated systems with hierarchical sensing. This review systematically analyses soft grippers with a deep understanding of core components, from fundamental design principles to actuation and sensing ...

Electrostatic Actuation Induces Competing Adhesion and Vibration Regimes at Fingertip Contact

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Electric fields modulate fingertip–surface contact to create artificial touch sensations. The mechanisms underlying electrostatic friction, however, remain unclear. Direct imaging and friction measurements under oscillating electric fields showed that adhesion dominates at high frequencies, while vibration contributes substantially at the lower ...

Catalytic Functionalization of Unactivated π‐Bonds Enabled by Bidentate Directing Auxiliaries

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
This review explores how bidentate directing auxiliaries have advanced transition‐metal catalysis for unactivated alkene/alkyne functionalization. By leveraging chelated intermediates, bidentate directing auxiliaries enable precise hydrofunctionalization, difunctionalization, and C─H activation of π‐bonds with unique selectivity and reactivity.

Small‐Scale Magnetic Peristaltic Soft Robot With Mobility and Transport Capabilities

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study introduces a miniature, untethered soft magnetic microrobot with peristaltic capabilities for both locomotion and cargo transport. Eight helically magnetized elastomeric strips deform under rotating fields (10–80 mT, 1–5 Hz), enabling movement across rods and lumina at up to 4.1 body lengths min‐¹.

Enabling Moisture and Interfacial Stability in Sulfide Solid Electrolytes via a Processable Organic Coating Strategy for High‐Voltage All‐Solid‐State Batteries

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
The solid electrolyte, argyrodite (Li6PS5Cl or LPSCl), “waxed” with a 25 nm coating of decanoic acid (DA; C10H19O2) is protected against hydrolysis at high relative humidity and maintains its ionic conductivity. DA–LPSCl exhibits enhanced stability at both NCM|DA–LPSCl and Li|DA–LPSCl interfaces: solid state batteries with a bare NCM85 cathode and Li ...

How cold is too cold? A theoretical analysis of the optimal trigger for index insurance for frost damage to crops

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Crop insurance is undoubtedly an extremely valuable element in protecting agricultural businesses, but in many cases standard indemnity‐based products have had very low uptake due to high transaction costs elevating premiums to unaffordable levels.
