Water Permeates and Plasticizes Amorphous Carbon Dots: Unraveling the Inner Accessibility of the Nanoparticles by Glass Transition Studies

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
The water permeability of amorphous carbon dots (CDs) is demonstrated by investigating their plasticization. Novel polyamide‐based and amorphous nanoparticles are synthesized by controlling their inner packing density. Water plasticization is evidenced by the decrease of the CDs glass transition temperature with increasing the hydration degree.

Radical Retention and Functional Stability of Plasma‐Polymerized Nanoparticles for Long‐Term Biofunctionalization

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Plasma polymerized nanoparticles (PPNs) offer a solvent‐free route to functional nanocarriers with long‐lived radicals. This study establishes design principles for long‐term storage of PPNs, demonstrating that dry‐phase storage retains radical content, covalent reactivity, and bioactivity over extended periods. These findings advance the translational

Size‐Dependent Contact Angles of Microscopic Droplets on Ultra‐Smooth Silanized Surfaces Probed by Atomic Force Microscopy

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Wetting is vital in many technologies, but remains hard to predict due to complex phase interactions. Young's law predicts macroscale wetting on ideal surfaces, while line tension theory is limited to nanoscale droplets. Here, using AFM, the scale gap is bridged by focusing on microscopic droplets and predicting their contact angle on real surfaces ...

Halide Perovskite Memristor Crossbar Arrays for Low Voltage in Memory Computing

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
From early devices to centimeter‐scale crossbars, halide‐perovskite memristors now deliver ultra‐low‐energy, multilevel switching. Yet ion migration, device variability, and sneak currents hinder scaling. Advances in self‐rectifying junctions, nonlinear interfaces, bias maps, and hybrid oxides enhance array stability.

Hygromnemics: Programmable Material Memory Matter Actuators via Wet Pre‐Constraining

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Humidity‐based pre‐constraining creates hygromnemics‐shape memory matter. From identical biocomposites actuation in dry and wet states is obtained via hygromnemic and hygromorphic actuation, respectively. Hygromnemic actuators present long‐ and short‐term shape memory abilities.
