Material‐Based Intelligence: Autonomous Adaptation and Embodied Computation in Physical Substrates
This perspective formulates a unifying framework for Material‐Based Intelligence (MBI), defining the physical requirements for materials to achieve embodied action, active memory and embodied information processing through intrinsic nonequilibrium dynamics. The design of intelligent materials often draws parallels with the complex adaptive behaviors of

Single‐Injection Multi‐Omics Analysis by Direct Infusion Mass Spectrometry
A high‐throughput direct infusion mass spectrometry platform, enabled by gas‐phase ion mobility separation, supports single‐injection analysis of peptides, polar metabolites, and lipids. Coupled with custom software, it identified ∽1,300 proteins and ∽600 metabolites in ∽4.3 minutes per sample, and demonstrated broad utility in macrophage polarization ...

Diatom‐Inspired 1D Immobile Robots Capable of 2D Collective Mobility
This study presents a diatom‐inspired robotic system that explores group coordination through limited physical interactions. The researchers tune groups of Barbots, simple robotic agents that possess neither individual mobility nor explicit communication capabilities, to achieve complex and adaptive collaboration based on environmental light.

A unified, reusable modeling pipeline enables task‐driven design of soft robots across actuator families and task scenarios. High‐fidelity simulations are compressed into compact pseudo‐rigid‐body joint surrogates, while a design‐conditioned meta‐model generates new surrogates from geometry parameters without rerunning finite element method.

A stiff‐stilbene‐based transmembrane anion transporter is isomerized by energy transfer from a ruthenium tris(bipyridyl) photosensitizer in the lipid bilayer. This sensitized isomerization allows activation of chloride transport using visible instead of UV light, without the need to chemically modify the stiff‐stilbene photoswitch.
