Substrate Engineering of SWCNT p–n Junctions for Dual‐Mode Power Generation and Heat‐Flux Sensing
Through substrate engineering alone, a single‐walled carbon nanotube p–n junction device switches between two functions under uniform infrared irradiation. A low‐absorbance substrate sustains a central hot junction for continuous power generation, whereas high‐absorbance substrates transiently invert the temperature gradient for sensitive heat‐flux ...

Drop‐location sensitivity remains a key barrier to practical droplet‐based electricity generators (DEGs). Here, a polydimethylsiloxane slippery covalently attached liquid (PDMS‐SCAL)‐coated interface promotes droplet sliding instead of splitting or bouncing, allowing stable electricity generation from randomly falling raindrops. The resulting PDMS‐SCAL‐

A Robotic Testing Platform for Pipelined Discovery of Resilient Dielectric Elastomer Actuators
This work introduces a robotic testing platform enabling high‐throughput, multi‐parameter lifetime mapping of linear dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs). By integrating programmable high‐voltage control and automated electromechanical measurements, the system identifies material and operating conditions that double actuator lifetime.

Advancing Energy Efficiency in Smart Windows via Dual‐Responsive Electro‐Thermochromism
A durable and stable quasi‐solid‐state electro‐thermal dual‐responsive photothermal regulation device has been employed in advanced energy‐efficient smart windows. The devised device not only incorporates a thermochromic hydrogel characterized by high ionic conductivity, high optical transmittance, and a low LCST, but also comprises an electrochromic ...
