Bioinspired Hydrogels with Broadly Programmable Mechanics for Soft‐Tissue Interfaces

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Sea cucumber‐inspired gelatin hydrogels are formed by directional freezing and mechanically programmed through subsequent ionic treatment. Multiscale characterization and modeling link ion‐regulated chain interactions to directional load transfer within the aligned hierarchical architecture.

Unique Role of Microstructure of a Bioimplant Zinc Alloy and Protein Content of Simulated Body Fluid in Corrosion and Fracture

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
BSA addition to physiological solutions enhances resistance of a Zn alloy to stress corrosion cracking (SCC) but reduces its corrosion resistance. Extended surface characterization explains the contrasting influences on corrosion and SCC. Unexpectedly, the alloy suffers transgranular SCC (TGSCC), despite extensive grain boundary precipitation. Thorough

Establishing Atomic Coherence in Twisted Oxide Membranes Containing Volatile Elements

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Twisted oxide membranes containing volatile elements often suffer from amorphous interfacial dead layers that suppress coupling. An oxygen‐annealing strategy establishes atomically coherent and chemically bonded interfaces in twisted NaNbO3 membranes, enabling coherent oxide moiré architectures in volatile‐element‐containing systems.

Interfacial Failure and Self‐Healing in Solid‐State Batteries

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Dynamic interfacial self‐healing offers an adaptive route to mitigate coupled mechanical, chemical, and electrochemical degradation in solid‐state batteries. This review connects evolving interfacial failure mechanisms with physical‐flow, chemical‐restoration, stimuli‐responsive, and electric‐field‐assisted repair strategies, highlighting targeted self‐

Beyond Nanoporosity: A CO2‐Conditioned Glassy Matrix Contributes to the Brittle‐to‐Ductile Transition of Nanocellular Polyetherimide

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
The mechanical performance of nanocellular polyetherimide cannot be explained by nanoporosity alone. It is shown that CO2 saturation and desorption leave a distinct mechanical signature in the glassy matrix before foaming. This matrix contribution provides a new route to understand and optimize the brittle to ductile transition in nanocellular polymers.

When Mechanics Rewrites Chemistry: Divergent Pathways of Hardening and Softening in High Strength Al-Alloys. [PDF]

Adv Sci (Weinh)
Mechanics reshapes chemistry: plastic flow actively governs two divergent, atomic‐scale mechanochemical pathways that tailor strain localization and ductility in high‐strength 7xxx Al alloys. Rather than relying on static structures, deformation dynamically reinforces the solution‐treated state via clustering, yet destabilizes the peak‐aged condition ...

Chemically Gradient Ordered Nanodomains Enable Large Tensile Ductility in Gigapascal Lightweight Refractory High-Entropy Alloys. [PDF]

Adv Sci (Weinh)
A high‐strength lightweight refractory high‐entropy alloy achieves extraordinary ductility owing to the introduction of coherent chemically gradient ordered nanodomains (CGONs). The CGONs not only serve as effective barriers to dislocation motion (strengthening) but also significantly promote dislocation nucleation and multiplication (ductilizing) upon

Ti3C2Tx MXene/Silver Composite Foams For Lightweight, High‐Performance Electromagnetic Interference Shielding and Joule Heating

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Ultrathin MXene/EMF composite foams achieve a specific shielding efficiency of 749.6 dB.dB·cm3$\mathrm{dB}\cdot {\mathrm{cm}}^{3}$/g, while the silver‐enhanced MXene/Ag/EMF reaches 81.4 dB shielding effectiveness at just 1.0 mm thickness. Both composites exhibit rapid Joule heating, retain stability up to 250∘C$^\circ{\rm C}$, and withstand 1000 ...
