Direct imaging of transient electronic coherences in molecules has been challenging, with the potential to control electron motions and influence reaction outcomes. We propose a novel time-resolved vortex electron diffraction technique to spatially resolve transient electronic coherences in isolated molecules. By analyzing helical dichroism diffraction signals, the contribution of electronic populations cancels out, isolating the purely electronic coherence signals. This allows direct monitoring of the time evolution and decoherence of transient electronic coherences in molecules.

Vertical digging into and out of granular media is a challenging task for autonomous systems. Granular media present considerable resistance to vertical penetration due to the high friction forces and large pressure at depths. In this paper, we present a soft robot that is capable of digging into and out of granular media to depths over 10× its body length. Our robot incorporates a vibration motor to locally fluidize the granular media for burrowing, and a soft pneumatic actuator to adjust the volume and hence the density of the robot, allowing it to transition from digging down to digging up. To analyze the performance of the robot, we measure its weight and density, track its location using a motion capture system, and investigate the effect of local fluidization. When the robot is buried and inflated with vibration turned off, it can increase its passive anchoring force by 5.22× (up to 35 N) relative to when the robot is deflated with vibration on. By contrast, by inflating the soft pneumatic bladder and providing vibration the robot is able to actively unburrow.

In this study, steric Zn-Ni alloy columns were fabricated via microanode-guided electroplating (MAGE), which had a very small electrode gap (90 µm) and a very high deposition rate (> 2 µm/min). These microcolumns were used to produce hydrogen by the electrocatalytic decomposition of water in alkaline aqueous solutions of 1 M KOH. The surface morphology study was acquired via the SEM, and after numerous electrocatalytic reactions, the porous structure of the Zn-Ni alloy progressively developed on the surface. The amount of zinc present in the alloy fell from 91 at. % to 52 at. %, which resulted in the column diameter of Zn-Ni increasing from 248 to 300 µm. After conducting an XRD investigation, the primary structure of the Zn-Ni alloy microcolumn was determined to be that of an intermetallic compound belonging to the Zn-Ni series. The phases shifted from Ni 3 Zn 22 to Ni 2 Zn 11 and NiZn 3 when the percentage of zinc in the alloy decreased from 91 to 52 at. %. The results of the linear sweep voltammetry showed that the Zn-Ni alloy microcolumns exhibited good hydrogen production efficiency at 13–24 at.% Ni, the lowest Tafel slope of 45 mV/dec, and only 36 mV overpotential when operating at 10 mA/cm 2 current density. Because of the enormous number of nano-networked nickel hydroxide on the surface that was investigated by TEM, the excellent efficiency with which hydrogen was produced can be attributed to the fact that this resulted in a significant increase in the amount of electrochemical surface area available.
