At the Pointy End of Mechanobiology: AFM for Transient Biomechanical Analysis

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Stem cell mechanosensitivity governs lineage commitment through mechanotransduction, but capturing these transient changes in living cells remains challenging. Advanced atomic force microscopy enables high‐resolution analysis of mechanical properties, real‐time protein distribution, and gene expression, offering fresh insights into cell‐environment ...

Excitable crawling

We propose and analyze the suitability of a spiking controller to engineer the locomotion of a soft robotic crawler. Inspired by the FitzHugh-Nagumo model of neural excitability, we design a bistable controller with an electrical flipflop circuit representation capable of generating spikes on-demand when coupled to the passive crawler mechanics.

Bio‐Inspired Artificial Muscle‐Tendon Complex of Liquid Crystal Elastomer for Bidirectional Afferent‐Efferent Signaling

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
The Muscle–tendon complex (MTC)‐inspired Liquid crystal elastomer (LCE) artificial muscle integrates actuation (efferent) and proprioceptive sensing (afferent) by combining contractile nematic and elastic isotropic LCEs within a single soft structure. Embedded liquid metal channels enable simultaneous Joule heating and real‐time sensing of length and ...

Additively Manufacturable High‐Strength Aluminum Alloys with Coarsening‐Resistant Microstructures Achieved via Rapid Solidification

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Rapid solidification in laser additive manufacturing facilitates the precipitation of metastable phases in aluminum alloys. These metastable phases significantly enhance the strength by forming a high‐volume fraction of precipitates with an order of magnitude reduced sizes and smaller interspacing, effectively impeding dislocation motion. Consequestly,

Unveiling the Electrolyte and Solid Electrolyte Interphase in Sodium Ion Batteries: Mechanisms, Progress, and Perspectives

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This review summarizes the recent advances in sodium‐ion battery electrolytes (including organic, aqueous, gel, ionic liquid, and solid‐state types) and their influence on the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI). It discusses SEI formation, aging, and optimization, as well as cases where no SEI forms, providing insights into the critical relationship ...

Review of Thin Lithium Metal Battery Anode Fabrication – Microstructure – Electrochemistry Relations

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Thin, lightweight lithium‐metal anodes are pivotal for practical high‐energy batteries. This review surveys processing routes that convert diverse Li precursors, e.g., ingots, melts, solutions, and vapor, into Li‐rich foils with controlled thickness, areal density, and tailored functionality.

Emergent Motility of Self‐Organized Particle‐Giant Unilamellar Vesicle Assembly

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs), when combined with silica particles under alternating electric fields, spontaneously self‐assemble into motile structures. Asymmetric particle decoration induces fluid flows that propel the assemblies, enabling persistent motion and reversible control.

Soft and Strong: Elastic Conductors with Bio‐Inspired Self‐Protection

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A general reverse‐engineering approach is demonstrated for designing functional yarns that uses woven fabric architecture as a structural framework. The fabric‐based stretchable conductive yarns combine flexibility, high elasticity, low stiffness, self‐protection, and weavability with conventional textile processes. By fine‐tuning the number of elastic
