Entropy‐Driven Design of Low‐Melting‐Point Alloys via Compositionally Complex Strategy

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Conventional low‐melting‐point alloys (LMPAs) are limited by a narrow compositional space and inherent property trade‐offs. This review presents an entropy‐driven design strategy that overcomes these limitations, ushering in a new class of low‐melting‐point compositionally complex alloys (LMCCAs).

Nonplanar Bouligand Architectures for Enhanced Mechanical Performance in Cementitious Composites

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Inspired by the impact region of the Mantis shrimp dactyl club, nonplanar additive manufacturing translates sinusoidal Bouligand architectures into cementitious composites. Printing‐induced anisotropy and architected interfaces promote distributed damage and arrest crack propagation, enhancing strength and energy absorption.

Phase‐Resolved Dual Control of Phenol Photodissociation at the Air–Water Interface From Structure‐Resolved Statistics

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Faster phenol photolysis at the air–water interface arises from two cooperative factors: a more favorable initial microenvironment for solvent‐side electron stabilization, which lowers CI access, and a more labile hydrogen‐bond network, which more readily reorganizes to stabilize the dark‐state intermediate.

Surface‐Spin‐Induced Magnetic Loss Enhancement in Ultralight Electromagnetic Absorbers

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Fe3O4 nanoparticles with different hollow rates were synthesized to demonstrate the key role of surface moment in magnetic loss process. Using the same volume filling ratio, the 54.1% hollow Fe3O4 absorber represents about 20% enhancement in the imaginary part (μ'') than solid particles due to the coexisting magnetic resonance of inside and outside ...

Unveiling a Near‐Total Rear Passivation for High Performance of Ultra‐Thin ACIGS

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Ultra‐thin solar cells of (Ag,Cu)(In,Ga)Se2 (ACIGS) suffer from rear interface recombination, limiting their performance. To tackle it, a full coverage plasma enhanced chemically vapor‐deposited 8 nm porous SiOx passivation layer was implemented and evaluated. It is shown that a combination of the near‐complete passivation from silica and the formation

Microstructure Evolution in Dry‑Coated Sulfidic All‐Solid‐State Battery Cathodes: Investigating Core–Shell Particle Morphology

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Mixing method directly governs interface engineering and electrode morphology during the dry coating of all‐solid‐state battery cathodes. While high‐shear batch mixing yields poor electrode quality and lacks core–shell‐like features, continuous extruder mixing enables strong binder fibrillation and a core–shell‐like coating between the active material ...

Unlocking the Full Potential of Jumping Condensation on Microstructured Surfaces

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Microcone arrays exhibit a spacing‐dependent transition between jumping and non‐jumping condensation. Dense microstructures favor full Cassie droplets, which depart cleanly, while wider spacing favors partial Cassie droplets that retain a localized wet region initiating new nucleation. These findings establish a link between microdroplet morphology and
