Identification and Characterization of an In Silico Designed Membrane‐Active Peptide with Antiviral Properties

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An evolutionary molecular dynamics platform is used to design P1.6, a membrane‐active peptide that senses lipid packing defects in viral envelopes. P1.6 adopts a stabilized α‐helical structure upon membrane contact, disrupts virus‐like liposomes, and damages HIV‐1 particles.

Stretchable Curvature Sensors for Motion Capture with Bending‐Stretching Coupling Deformation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Stretchable curvature sensors based on a wavy symmetric stacked‐layer structure (WSSLS) enable decoupled bending‐stretching detection with high linearity, repeatability, and durability. Integrated into smart gloves, the sensors achieved precise motion capture and human‐robot interaction, with slip‐simulation tests demonstrating a remarkable 93.6 ...
