Electroadhesion Suction Cups

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Electroadhesion (EA) Suction Cups are electrically operated soft grippers that can pick up a wide range of objects from the top. A soft membrane, driven by electrostatic forces, conforms to surfaces, creating a passive vacuum when lifted. EA suction cups eliminate bulky vacuum systems, offering a compact, efficient, and portable alternative for ...

Efficient Low‐temperature Ammonia Cracking Enabled by Strained Heterostructure Interfaces on Ru‐free Catalyst

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Leveraging the strong metal‐support interaction effect, heterostructured interfaces in a Co‐based catalyst are designed to enable low‐temperature ammonia (NH3) decomposition. The induced tensile lattice strain within the core‐shell structure modulates d‐band center of Co, enhancing NH3 adsorption and facilitating N─H bond dissociation. Furthermore, the

Progress and Application of Multifunctional Hydrogel in Radioactive Skin Injury

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This review examines healing challenges in radiation‐wound injuries, where ionizing radiation impairs immune and tissue repair processes. Hydrogels, with their biocompatibility, antimicrobial properties, and drug delivery capabilities, present a transformative solution. It compares hydrogel efficacy in radiation‐induced versus common wounds, highlights

HARMLESS Early Warning System for Advanced Materials

open access: yesAdvanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
The HARMLESS Early Warning System tackles Advanced Materials (AdMa) risk governance by providing a framework, organised in two tiers, underpinned with methods/tools to support risk assessors in the pre‐assessment preceding risk assessment. It allows for initial screening to identify AdMa with concerns considering exposure, hazards, sustainability and ...
