In Situ Photopolymerization of Smectic B Liquid‐Crystalline Electrolytes from Mesogenic Phosphate–Diacrylate/Ionic Liquid Complexes for High‐Performance Soft Ionic Actuators

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A flexible liquid‐crystalline electrolyte membrane via in situ photopolymerization of a phosphate‐functionalized mesogen, ionic liquid, and diacrylate monomer is developed. The resulting smectic B (SmB)‐phase structure enables 2D ion transport with high conductivity (10−4 S cm−1).

Biomechanical Phenotyping Reveals Unique Mechanobiological Signatures of Early‐Onset Colorectal Cancer

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies a unique physical signature of colorectal cancer in younger adults: their tissues are mechanically stiffer than those in older patients with the same cancer. Furthermore, stromal remodeling in early‐onset colorectal cancer promotes epithelial mechanotransduction and proliferation, showing how mechanical alterations in the tissue ...

Peptide Sequence Programmed Piezoelectric Response by Supramolecular Self‐Assembly

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
In this study, hydrophobic tripeptides are explored as building blocks for stable piezoelectric crystals. Tripeptides with phenylalanine at the central position self‐assembled into uniform, thermally stable crystals. Piezoresponse force microscopy reveals a high effective piezoelectric coefficient of 24.0 pC N−1, attributed to asymmetric molecular ...

Helix Alignment, Chevrons, and Edge Dislocations in Twist‐Bend Ferroelectric Nematics

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The recently discovered twist‐bend ferroelectric nematic (NTBF) is the new member of the multiferroic family, representing a fluid with an oblique helicoidal (heliconical) periodic structure of spontaneous electric polarization. The work presents a thorough exploration of the material properties of this phase, how the periodic modulation of ...

A Mini‐Spidroin Forms High‐Performance Artificial Spider Silk via Edge‐Cysteine–Locked β‐Sheet Assembly

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Cysteine‐engineered mini‐spidroins (∼33 kDa) undergo phosphate‐induced liquid–liquid phase separation (LLPS), where disulfide bonds lock partially aligned polyA segments. Subsequent microfluidic spinning promotes directional β‐sheet crystallization, producing fibers with 531 MPa strength and 182 MJ/m3 toughness.

Ultrafast Laser‐Induced Interatomic Forces in Magnetostrictive Metals

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reports ultrafast changes in the interatomic forces generated by femtosecond laser excitation in magnetostrictive FeGa thin films. This ultrafast process manifests as an optical birefringence signal lasting ≈400 fs. Using a pump‐probe system, the femtosecond evolution of this nonequilibrium interatomic interaction is visualized, providing ...
