Electrochemical production of large-scale chemicals and fuels is critical to reaching carbon
neutrality. However, the required anodic oxidation reactions, namely the oxygen evolution …

Ni-based porous electrocatalysts have been widely used in the hydrogen evolution reaction
(HER) in alkaline water electrolysis, and the catalysts are produced by selective leaching of …

Because of their low synthesis cost, large specific surface area, and good energy storage
performance, microporous metal-based composites have been widely used in …

The nucleation and growth of bubbles within a solid matrix is a ubiquitous phenomenon that
affects many natural and synthetic processes. However, such a bubbling process is almost …

Mechanisms of nucleation have been debated for more than a century, despite successes of
classical nucleation theory. The nucleation process has been recently argued as involving a …

Flexible origami structures can mimic the complicated motions of small creatures that are
otherwise difficult to be achieved by rigid robots with limited degree of motion freedom …

Herein, a novel class of high‐performing actuating oxides/hydroxides with turbostratic crystal
structures is reviewed. These materials, including nickel hydroxide/oxyhydroxide, cobalt …

Material-based, light-driven actuators have been a recent research focus for the
development of untethered, miniaturized devices and microrobots. Recently introduced …

Understanding novel actuating materials which respond to a variety of stimuli is key in the
development of micro/nanoscale robotics. In this work, the mechanism of actuation in nickel …
