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