Bioinspired Metastable Transient Peeling for Repeatable Rapid Release

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Inspired by the explosive seed ejection of the squirting cucumber, this work introduces metastable transient peeling that temporally regulates stored interfacial energy release via a tunable energy barrier. A viscoelastic hemispherical gripper achieves 52 ms ultrafast, residue‐free release with 300 000‐cycle durability, enabling damage‐free handling of

Geometry‐Encoded Soft Strain Sensing via Liquid‐Metal Transmission Lines

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study presents a liquid‐metal transmission‐line strain sensor that achieves intrinsic decoupling by encoding axial elongation into propagation delay. The time‐domain readout remains stable under complex off‐axis. This enables reliable, repeatable, real‐time elongation measurement in dynamic, multiaxial loading environments for wearable electronics,

Active Oscillations of Elastic Membranes Arising from the Coupling with a Catalytic Reaction

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Coupling an elastic membrane to a catalytic reaction produces active oscillations that self‐sustain for hours: the membrane cyclically inflates and deflates as the reaction spontaneously activates and deactivates, without external power. Energy release is directly embodied in the oscillation dynamics, opening elasto‐chemical strategies for the physical

Architected Spatially Deterministic Multiscale Phase Segregation in Block Copolymer Composites for Augmented Radiative Cooling

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Multiscale phase segregation in block copolymers enables spatially deterministic structuring from molecular to macroscopic scales, decoupling solar scattering and infrared emission for augmented radiative cooling. ABSTRACT Passive radiative cooling, which reflects solar irradiation while emitting heat through the atmospheric window, provides a ...

Real‐Time Monitoring of Mass and Mechanical Properties in Single Cells and Multicellular Spheroids

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study introduces photothermally actuated microcantilevers combined with optical microscopy to simultaneously measure morphology, mass, and mechanical properties of cellular systems in real‐time. The findings link cytoplasm‐dominated mechanical energy dissipation to the Q‐factor as a novel biophysical parameter.
