Site‐Selective Catalysis of a Multifunctional Linear Molecule: The Steric Hindrance of Metal–Organic Framework Channels by Zhang, Weina, Zheng, Bing, Shi, Wenxiong, Chen, Xinyi, Xu, Zhiling, Li, Shuzhou, Chi, Robin Yonggui, Yang, Yanhui, Lu, Jun, Huang, Wei, Huo, Fengwei

“…Inspired by a “Gondola” sailing in narrow “Venetian Canal” without sufficient space for a U‐turn, a simple heterogeneous catalyst based on NPs/MOFs is developed that exhibits site‐selectivity for the oxidation of diols by restricting the random rotation of the molecule (the “Gondola”) in the limited space of the MOF channel (the narrow “Venetian Canal”), thereby protecting the middle functional group via steric hindrance. …”

Mechanoreceptor-inspired in-ear triboelectric sensor for unconstrained physiological monitoring and human–machine interaction by He, Qiang, Zhou, Zhongliang, Chen, Shuai, Tang, Cindy G., Leong, Wei Lin

“…The integration of an organic electrochemical transistor with low power consumption and high output current can amplify the current signal of the triboelectric sensor by at least 3 orders, enabling accurate extraction of minute pressure changes stimulated by pulse wave in the ear canal. In addition, the signal retention capability endowed by the organic electrochemical transistor enables an expanded control mode, which is demonstrated in an eye-triggered music playback control system. …”
