Shapeshifting Liquid Metal Droplets for Soft Fluidic Machines

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This study presented a liquid metal shape shifting strategy which harnesses Lorentz force, surface tension and fluid instabilities to achieve autonomous fluidic power. By using a liquid metal droplet as a mobile current carrier, this strategy enables the development of low‐voltage, self‐oscillating pumps that outperform existing soft pumps.

The random free field scalar theory

Journal of High Energy Physics
Quantum field theories with quenched disorder are so hard to study that even exactly solvable free theories present puzzling aspects. We consider a free scalar field ϕ in d dimensions coupled to a random source h with quenched disorder.

Designing Physical Unclonable Functions From Optically Active Materials

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Assigning unforgeable “fingerprints” to manufactured goods is a key strategy to fight global counterfeiting. Optical physical unclonable functions (PUFs) are chemically generated random patterns of optically active materials serving as unique authenticators.

Measuring Zn Transference with Precision: Insights for Dendrite‐Free Zinc Metal Anodes

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A modified Hittorf method reveals how co‐salt composition affects Zn2+ transference numbers. Coupled with molecular dynamics and spectroscopy, we shows that electrolytes with high Zn transference number (tZn) suppress dendrites, enabling longer high‐rate cycling and more stable Zn‐metal anodes.

Interactions Between Active Matters and Endogenous Fields

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This review synthesizes endogenous field information and computational methods in contexts such as cancer, wounds, and biofilms. It organizes NAMs and AAMs by sensing, transmitting, and executing functions, compares their limitations, and from these contrasts proposes design strategies for next‐generation AAMs, offering perspectives to foster ...

High‐Performance Dendrite‐Free Lithium Textile Anodes Using Interfacial Interaction‐Mediated Ultrathin Metal Organic Framework Multilayers

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A novel strategy is introduced that leverages an ultrathin, lithiophilic metal‐organic framework (MOF) multilayer, applied onto textile current collectors through a coordination bonding‐based layer‐by‐layer assembly deposition for the development of a high‐performance lithium metal textile anode.

Engineered Protein‐Based Ionic Conductors for Sustainable Energy Storage Applications

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Rational incorporation of charged residues into an engineered, self‐assembling protein scaffold yields solid‐state protein films with outstanding ionic conductivity. Salt‐doping further enhances conductivity, an effect amplified in the engineered variants. These properties enable the material integration into an efficient supercapacitor.
