High Center‐of‐Mass, Multi‐Legged Soft Robots Powered by Geometrically Encoded Liquid Crystal Elastomer Arc Appendages

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Inspired by the octopus and the golden wheel spider, soft robots with liquid crystal elastomer arc fibers as appendages are fabricated to transcend surface constraints through an elevated center of mass and minimal contact footprints. By leveraging curvature‐encoded deformation‐recovery cycles, these robots exhibit contractile, torsional, and flexural ...

Nocturnal Intraocular Pressure Monitoring With a Soft Contact Lens Sensor for Glaucoma Management

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
A soft contact lens sensor enables continuous, noninvasive monitoring of nocturnal intraocular pressure (IOP) under closed‐eye sleep conditions. By integrating a highly compliant inductive–capacitive circuit onto a commercial lens, the device achieves record sensitivity and stable performance.

Bending‐Induced Vibrational Landscape Reorganization Governs Energy Dissipation in Perylene Bisimides

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Gradually bent perylene bisimides (PBIs) isolate structural distortion as the sole variable and exhibit negligible intersystem crossing, uncovering rapid vibrational dephasing as the dominant driver of internal conversion through excited‐state vibrational landscape reorganization.

Substrate‐Controlled Enantiodivergence in Ni‐Catalyzed Access to Phosphorylated Oxindoles With Quaternary Stereocenters

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
An efficient, enantiodivergent synthesis of phosphorylated oxindoles with quaternary stereocenters is achieved via a nickel‐catalyzed intermolecular Heck‐phosphorylation cascade. Employing a single chiral catalyst, either product enantiomer is selectively accessed simply by changing the alkene leaving group. DFT calculations trace this stereodivergence
