New pyroelectric figures of merit for harvesting dynamic temperature fluctuations† Pyroelectric materials are attracting increasing attention for a variety of applications including thermal imaging, thermal sensing, and energy harvesting. To select and design pyroelectric materials with optimal performance, figures of merit (FoMs) are utilized in terms of energy, voltage, and current sensitivity.

Graphical Abstract Soft Self-Healing Robot Soft robotic bodies are susceptible to mechanical fatigue, punctures, electrical breakdown, and ageing. Chaoying Wan, Min Pan, and co-workers create a soft self-healing robot using a thermoplastic MG-SBS elastomer tube fabricated by melt-extrusion to allow the robot to self-heal autonomously at room temperature. After repeated damage and being separated into several parts, the robot is able to heal and enable almost complete recovery of robot performance.
