Wood Carbon Sponge/SiO2 Aerogel Composites with Anisotropic Broadband Microwave Absorption, Elastic Resilience, and Thermal Insulation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Anisotropic wood carbon sponge/SiO2 aerogel composites are constructed, revealing a robust direction‐dependent permittivity ordering (tangential > radial > axial). The radial direction delivers an ultra‐broadband effective absorption bandwidth of 11.6 GHz at only 4.95 mm, while the tangential direction offers superior compressibility and thermal ...

Sea Cucumber‐Inspired Double‐Network Biopolymer Hydrogels for Programmable Soft Machines

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Inspired by the mutable dermis of sea cucumbers, the collagen‐alginate double‐network elastomeric (CoDE) hydrogel achieves programmable, recoverable, and functional mechanical behavior. The CoDE hydrogel mimics the mutable stiffness of the sea cucumber dermis through a densified collagen cryogel scaffold that is secondarily reinforced by a dissipative,

Enhancing Specific Stiffness of Nano‐Architected Materials Through Generative AI and Active Learning

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A structure‐centric generative framework searches voxelated design space directly, coupling a variational autoencoder with multi‐objective optimization and active learning to progressively expand the validated design domain. The discovered nano‐architectures, realized as pyrolytic carbon by two‐photon lithography, deliver 18–23% higher stiffness and 26–

Intrinsic i$i$‐Wave Altermagnetism in 2D Graphene Superlattices

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Altermagnetism has so far been mostly proposed in transition metals compounds. Here we show that monolayer and bilayer graphene antidot superlattices realize a carbon‐based i‐wave altermagnet. This is demonstrated with a combination of symmetry analysis, first principles methods and effective models, featuring a six‐fold spin splitting texture in ...

Habitat‐Specific Design Strategies for Untethered Soft Robots

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Habitat shapes the design of untethered soft robots. Across land, water, air, and living tissues, environmental constraints govern viable combinations of compliant structures, actuation mechanisms, and energy delivery. This review connects these constraints with robotic performance and identifies design principles for advancing adaptable, durable, and ...
