Elastic Energy Storage in Biological Materials: Internal Stresses and Their Functionality

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Harnessing and storing internally generated elastic energy is a clever strategy by biological materials to perform functions like shape transformation, movement, and predation. This review explores how biological systems manipulate mechanisms like atomic or protein integration into minerals, protein conformational shifts, phase transitions, and osmotic

Ion Valency as a Molecular Switch for Salt‐Resistant Underwater Adhesion

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Monovalent K+ ions weaken adhesion by forming K+‐π complexes with weak bridging capacity. In contrast, multivalent cations like Y3+ enhance adhesion by forming stable π‐cation‐π bridging networks, which are resistant to salt and capable of compensating for the loss of native π–π and NH3+‐π interactions.

Iron‐Catalyzed Laser‐Induced Graphitization Enabling Current Collector‐Free Electrodes With Spatially Tunable Iron/Iron Oxide Phases

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Iron‐catalyzed laser‐induced graphitization (IC‐LIG) enables the eco‐efficient fabrication of current collector‐free carbon electrodes on renewable substrates, outperforming traditional methods. Tunable ink rheology supports spray coating, screen printing, and DIW of complex patterns, while laser post‐treatment allows spatial control of iron phases ...
