Liquids as Reinforcements for Anisotropic and Tough Soft Matter Composites
Liquid metal droplets are shaped and oriented within soft elastomers to create all‐soft matter composites with programmable mechanical anisotropy. These liquid inclusions act as fiber‐like reinforcements, enabling directional stiffness, enhanced toughness, and controlled crack steering under extreme deformation, offering new routes to resilient soft ...

Conductive Hydrogels for Exogenous Sensing and Cell Fate Control
We engineer electrically conductive hydrogels by combining sulfated glycosaminoglycans with semiconducting polymers. These hydrogels bind bioactive proteins, including growth factors, whose release or retention can be modulated by low‐voltage stimulation. The hydrogels are also integrated as 3D channels in organic electrochemical transistors as part of

An unsaturated coordination chemistry strategy activates a quasi‐solid‐state redox pathway by strengthening NaPSs adsorption and accelerating redox conversion kinetics, thereby overcoming the kinetic bottlenecks that limit high‐rate performance. In situ transmission electron microscopy, combined with newly developed Na‐ion diffusion descriptors ...
