Current Switching of Topological Spin Chirality in the van der Waals Antiferromagnet Co1/3TaS2
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Spin chirality plays a central role in quantum magnetism, governing spin winding and generating real‐space Berry phases. We propose the intriguing concept of current‐switching spin chirality and demonstrate it via unconventional intrinsic self‐spin‐orbit‐torque in pristine Co1/3TaS2, purely by electrical current and with high energy efficiency.

Self‐Regulating Sodium‐Ion Battery Materials: From Phase Reconstruction to Functional Activation
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Self‐regulating sodium‐ion batteries hinge on programmable phase behavior in layered oxides, interphases that renew without growth, and electrolytes that steer solvation and chemistry. This review distills mechanisms into design rules that span composition, site and entropy tuning, and self‐buffering anodes, linking operando evidence to choices and ...

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.An Aloe‐pinspired droplet electricity generator (A‐DEG) overcomes the limited energy collection zone of conventional DEGs by guiding impact droplets through a channeling midrib and artificial cuticle. The channeling midrib induces uni‐directional droplet spreading, while the artificial cuticle on the midrib further reinforces this behavior through its ...

Why Is the Mechanism Underlying the Chiral‐Induced Selectivity Effect Still Challenging?
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.The chiral‐induced spin selectivity (CISS) effect is observed in many experimental configurations and for different materials. However, there are theoretical challenges in attempting to explain those results. A qualitative framework for explaining all the results is presented.

Humid‐Air Condensation Heat Transfer on Hierarchical Structured Superhydrophobic Graphite Composites
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.Humid‐air condensation on graphite composites shows that making a surface superhydrophobic is not sufficient to enhance heat transfer. A hierarchical CuO/lauric‐acid coating yields spherical droplets but promotes Wenzel‐type pinning and adds effective thermal resistance under operation.

Photocatalytic Water Splitting on the Lunar Surface: Prospects for In Situ Resource Utilization
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.Water has been found in craters on the moon nearby locations which are illuminated >80% of the time. Photocatalysis uses energy from sunlight to drive chemical reactions such as water splitting to produce oxygen and hydrogen. It is a scalable technology that requires lighter equipment and utilizes resources available on the moon. ABSTRACT The discovery
