Functional Disorder at the Neural Interface: How Disordered Nanostructures Promote Proper Growth and Differentiation in In Vitro Neural Cultures

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work provides a practical guide for neuroengineers to design advanced neural interfaces, embracing and tailoring the concept of functional disorder. By bridging 2D and 3D in vitro models, this work highlights how non‐periodic, spatially heterogeneous, multiscale nanotopography can enable more physiologically relevant platforms for studying neural ...

Multiferroic‐Centric Materials and Systems Engineering for Battery Applications: An Insight Into Mechanisms, Strategies, and Characterizations

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Multiferroic order parameters – polarization, magnetization, and ferroelastic strain – are positioned as dynamic design variables for batteries. Their mechanistic roles, practical tuning through fabrication and external fields, and ferroic‐resolved characterization routes are unified into a closed‐loop framework, revealing how coupled ferroic responses

Néel‐Vector‐Dependent Unconventional Spin‐Orbit Torque for Deterministic Field‐Free Switching in NiO (110)‐Based Trilayers

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Unconventional spin currents are generated in an antiferromagnetic NiO(110)/Ta/CoFeB trilayer, where the Néel vector governs spin transport. The resulting spin–orbit torques enable deterministic field‐free switching of perpendicular magnetization.
