Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 37, 7 May 2026.Reprogrammable multi‐material smart textiles knitted from liquid crystal elastomer fibers undergo 2D and 3D deformation under thermal and photo stimuli. Circularly knitted tubular structures reversibly contract in radial and axial directions, enabling autonomous climbing, liquid release, and micro pumping.

A Bottom‐Up Design Framework for Multifunctional Lattice Metamaterials
Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 26, 8 May 2026.This study introduces a generative AI framework for designing multifunctional lattice metamaterials. The method combines 3D Gaussian voxel generation with deep learning, enabling greater design freedom and structural performance. The optimized lattice metamaterials achieve enhanced energy absorption by 40–200% compared to conventional structures and ...

High‐Velocity Ballistic Impact Performance of FFF Printed PEEK With Different Infill Patterns
Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, Volume 311, Issue 5, May 2026.This study examines 3D printed PEEK under Izod, quasi‐static, and high‐velocity impact. Hexagonal infill shows the highest Izod impact strength and superior quasi‐static energy absorption. However, under ballistic impact, all patterns behave similarly, indicating performance depends on infill at low velocity, but on intrinsic material properties at ...

Fatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, Volume 49, Issue 5, Page 1824-1844, May 2026.ABSTRACT The degradation of metallic materials due to hydrogen embrittlement (HE) poses critical challenges for structural reliability. Phase‐field models offer an energy‐based approach that does not require predefined crack paths and automatically determines crack initiation, growth, and coalescence.
