Skeletal High‐Strength Nanoporous Copper and Metamaterials: The Hakka Tulou Design Heritage
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Inspired by the Hakka Tulou walls, skeletal nanoporous copper is fabricated via a two‐phase MnCu precursor and controlled dealloying. This strategy achieves high strength (200 MPa) and large specific surface area (27.6 m2/g), and extends to lattice metamaterials with hierarchical porosity, offering new design pathways for multifunctional metal ...

Bacteria‐Responsive Nanostructured Drug Delivery Systems for Targeted Antimicrobial Therapy
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Bacteria‐responsive nanocarriers are designed to release antimicrobials only in the presence of infection‐specific cues. This selective activation ensures drug release precisely at the site of infection, avoiding premature or indiscriminate release, and enhancing efficacy.

Hygromnemics: Programmable Material Memory Matter Actuators via Wet Pre‐Constraining
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Humidity‐based pre‐constraining creates hygromnemics‐shape memory matter. From identical biocomposites actuation in dry and wet states is obtained via hygromnemic and hygromorphic actuation, respectively. Hygromnemic actuators present long‐ and short‐term shape memory abilities.
