Dual‐Responsive Yarn‐Based Artificial Muscles for Adaptive Thermal Management

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Inspired by the conscious movements of skeletal muscle, a novel hybrid yarn‐based artificial muscle (HYAM) coupling moisture actuation with controllable recovery is developed. This unique design increases actuation stroke by 128% and shortens recovery time by 91%. This unique design enhances the actuation stroke by 128% and reduces the recovery time by

Reliability Investigation of Silicide-Based Thermoelectric Modules

ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces
The reliability and failure mechanisms of silicide-based thermoelectric modules (n-type Mg2(Si,Sn)/p-type HMS) were investigated thanks to two types of thermal tests with either a fixed or a cycling thermal gradient, under different atmospheres. The hot interfaces of the thermoelectric modules were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray ...

Non‐Equilibrium Synthesis Methods to Create Metastable and High‐Entropy Nanomaterials

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Stabilizing multiple elements within a single phase enables the creation of advanced materials with exceptional properties arising from their complex composition. However, under equilibrium conditions, the Hume–Rothery rules impose strict limitations on solid‐state miscibility, restricting combinations of elements with mismatched crystal ...
