Recent Advances in Collective Behaviors of Micro/Nanomotor Swarms

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This review describes the driving forces behind collective motion, explores the self‐organization of micro/nano swarms across zero‐dimensional (0D), one‐dimensional (1D), two‐dimensional (2D), and three‐dimensional (3D) spaces, and highlights their potential in drug delivery, environmental monitoring, and smart devices.

A high accuracy compact difference scheme and numerical simulation for a type of diffusive plant-water model in an arid flat environment

AIMS Mathematics
In this paper, we investigate the numerical computation method for a one-dimensional self diffusion plant water model with homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions. First, a high accuracy compact difference scheme for the diffusive plant water model in an

Autonomous Hydrogel Actuators Programmed by Endogenous Biochemical Logic for Dual‐Stage Morphing and Drug Release

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A 3D‐printed BSA–PEGDA bilayer actuator performs biochemical logic, bending autonomously in acid and releasing its drug payload only when both acid and pepsin are present. This dual‐stage, enzyme‐gated mechanism enables autonomous catch‐and‐release motion and controlled gastric drug delivery, representing a programmable soft material powered by ...

A Temporal Second-Order Difference Scheme for Variable-Order-Time Fractional-Sub-Diffusion Equations of the Fourth Order

Fractal and Fractional
In this article, we develop a compact finite difference scheme for a variable-order-time fractional-sub-diffusion equation of a fourth-order derivative term via order reduction.

Ion‐Regulating Membranes with Surface‐Enriched Charge Networks Enabling Stable Zinc‐Manganese Flow Batteries

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
An ion‐regulating membrane is designed with a surface‐concentrated positively‐charged Zn2⁺ crosslinked network for zinc‐manganese flow batteries. The membrane effectively mitigates proton crossover and regulates zinc ion distribution to avoid dendrites, thus significantly improving areal capacity and prolonging the lifespan with a record accumulated ...

Metamaterial Antennas Enhance MRI of the Eye and Occipital Brain

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A radiofrequency antenna platform comprising planar and bend configurations is developed, incorporating structurally integrated epsilon‐negative metamaterial unit cells to enhance MRI. These antennas enable high‐resolution in vivo human MRI of the eye, orbit, and occipital brain. Comprehensive validation, including simulations, phantom experiments, SAR,

Photo‐Reconfigurable Supercoupling Induced Transparency in On‐Chip Topological Edge State Cavities

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A novel supercoupling induced transparency (SIT) is demonstrated in a valley‐Hall photonic crystal. The valley vortices enable the supercoupling between a leaky and a guided topological edge state cavity even across a distance of 4.3 wavelengths, inducing a transparency window with negligible reflection.

Li Incorporation Induces Surface Chemical Disorder in Solution‐Processed Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Lithium incorporation into Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 (CZTSSe) thin‐film semiconductors is highly beneficial for solar power conversion efficiencies, although directly visualising its impact on the absorber is difficult. Energy‐filtered photoemission electron microscopy measurements reveal lithium alloying induces surface chemical disorder of CZTSSe, highlighted ...
