Ultra‐Robust Conductive Hydrogels Enabled by a Gradient Bond‐Breaking Pseudo‐Drying Strategy

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A bioinspired PVA‐ANFs hydrogel, engineered via novel gradient bond‐breaking, achieves unprecedented mechanical performance: ultrahigh strength (≈18 MPa), modulus (≈12 MPa), toughness (≈74 MJ/m3), and record fracture energy (≈269 kJ m−2). It exhibits cryogenic flexibility (−70°C), high ionic conductivity (936.3 mS m−1), and biocompatibility.

Mechanotransduction in Shaping Immunity: Pathways, Crosstalk, and Pathophysiological Relevance

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This review comprehensively summarizes the role of mechanotransduction in shaping immunity. It details how immune cells respond to biomechanical cues via mechanotransduction cascades and emphasizes the mechanical crosstalks within the immune microenvironment. The emerging significance of mechanoimmunology in both health and diseases is also highlighted.

Foldable Soft Leg‐Assisted Wheel Robot

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Recently, soft robots garner attention for designing the robotic legs of mobile robots due to their characteristic lightness, tunability, and simple control. Here, a novel soft foldable leg capable of high stiffness and deformability is identified as an assistant for enhancing the locomotion capabilities of a wheel mobile robot.

A Waterborne Epoxy Vitrimer: Enabling Moisture‐Driven Actuation, Continuous Moist‐Electric Generation, and Water‐Assisted Degradation

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A catalyst‐free waterborne epoxy vitrimer has been developed through the curing of 1,4‐butanediol diglycidyl ether with L‐tartaric acid. The incorporation of abundant hydroxyl groups and the neighboring group participation effect enable this vitrimer to exhibit rapid stress relaxation and achieve complete degradation in hot water.
