Vine‐Inspired Soft Robotics: Materials, Actuations, and Emerging Applications
Vine‐inspired robots grow from the tip, enabling navigation through confined spaces with minimal disturbance. This Review summarizes material and actuation strategies for vine‐inspired growth, key functions including steering, retraction, attachment, branching, and variable stiffness, and emerging applications spanning medical intervention, confined ...

Rhizodeposition Drives One Third of Belowground Carbon Input in Agroecosystems
This study quantifies photosynthesized C allocation in the plant–soil system across six crop types: barley, wheat, maize, rice, legumes and grasses. It reports C partitioning into shoot respiration, shoot‐C, root‐C, net rhizodeposition and root‐derived CO2, providing standardized percentage averages and GPP‐derived absolute values as a robust baseline ...

Poly(vinyl alcohol)‐modified liquid‐metal particles form conductive networks through spray‐induced self‐fusion without additional post‐treatment. Spray impact initiates oxide‐shell rupture and electrical contact, while subsequent Marangoni flow and capillary forces promote particle redistribution, neck growth, and network consolidation. This sequential

A Biomimetic Solvatochromic Chip With Optimized Chemical Diversity for On‐Site Liquid Identification
A compact biomimetic photonic‐gustatory chip uses Hansen‐solubility‐parameter‐guided solvatochromic disks to create distinct color patterns in organic liquids. An optimized four‐disk array distinguishes solvent types, ratios, homologues, isomers, and alcoholic beverages. Coupled with smartphone imaging and deep learning, it identifies 80 liquid classes

Hydrogel‐forming microneedle (HFMN)‐reservoir patches provide a modular route for controlled transdermal delivery of hydrophilic biomacromolecules. The platform integrates skin‐barrier penetration, sustainable biopolymers, scalable green manufacturing, hydration‐driven transport, model‐cargo validation, and translational quality requirements.

We develop bio‐based, star‐branched polyamides from itaconic acid and cadaverine with tunable lower critical solution temperature (LCST) transitions for dynamic solar modulation. Specific metal ion coordination with pyrrolidone moieties drives precise phase transitions via calcium‐induced salting‐in and sodium‐induced salting‐out mechanisms. Formulated
