To date, high-performance organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) are all based on polythiophene systems. Donor-acceptor (D-A) conjugated polymers are expected to be promising materials for OECTs owing to their high mobility and comparatively low crystallinity (good for ion diffusion). However, the OECT performance of D-A polymers lags far behind that of the polythiophenes. Here we synergistically engineered the backbone, side chain of a series of diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP)-based D-A polymers and found that redox potential, molecular weight, solution processability, and film microstructures are essential to their performance. Among the polymers, P(bgDPP-MeOT2) exhibited a figure-of-merit (μC*) of 225 F cm<sup>–1</sup> V<sup>–1</sup> s<sup>–1</sup>, <a>over one order of magnitude higher than previously reported D-A polymers. Besides, the DPP polymers exhibited high hole mobility over 2 cm<sup>2</sup> V</a><sup>−1</sup> s<sup>−1</sup>, significantly higher than all D-A polymers employed in OECTs, leading to fast response OECTs with a record low turn-off response time of 30 μs. <a>The polymer also exhibited better stability than polythiophene systems with current retention of 98.8% over 700 electrochemical switching cycles.</a> This work provides a systematic solution to unleash the high-performance and fast-response nature of D-A polymers in OECTs.

The convergence of artificial intelligence and machine learning with material science holds significant promise to rapidly accelerate development timelines of new high-performance polymeric materials. Within this context, we report an inverse design strategy for polycarbonate and polyester discovery based on a recommendation system that proposes polymerization experiments that are likely to produce materials with targeted properties. Following recommendations of the system driven by the historical ring-opening polymerization results, we carried out experiments targeting specific ranges of monomer conversion and dispersity of the polymers obtained from cyclic lactones and carbonates. The results of the experiments were in close agreement with the recommendation targets with few false negatives or positives obtained for each class.<br>

The European Space Agency’s (ESA) ExoMars rover has recently been subject to a Phase A study led by EADS Astrium, UK. This rover mission represents a highly ambitious venture in that the rover is of considerable size ~200+kg with high mobility carrying a highly complex scientific instrument suite (Pasteur) of up to 40 kg in mass devoted to exobiological investigation of the Martian surface and sub-surface. The chassis design has been a particular challenge given the inhospitable terrain on Mars and the need to traverse such terrain robustly in order to deliver the scientific instruments to science targets of exobiological interest, We present some of the results and design issues encountered during the Phase A study related to the chassis. In particular, we have focussed on the overall tractive performance of a number of candidate chassis designs and selected the RCL (Science & Technology Rover Company Ltd in Russian) concept C design as the baseline option in terms of high performance with minimal mechanical complexity overhead. This design is a six-wheeled double-rocker bogie design to provide springless suspension and maintain approximately equal weight distribution across each wheel.
