Dimple‐Encoded Reprogrammable Origami

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Local snap‐through of bistable dimples turns flat elastic sheets into reprogrammable origami structures. Interaction‐guided dimple arrays act as angle‐programmable hinge bands, enabling one sheet to morph into distinct polygonal and three‐dimensional configurations while retaining stable shapes for deployable and protective functions.

Drop‐Location‐Insensitive Droplet‐Based Electricity Generator Using Polydimethylsiloxane Slippery Covalently Attached Liquid Coatings

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Drop‐location sensitivity remains a key barrier to practical droplet‐based electricity generators (DEGs). Here, a polydimethylsiloxane slippery covalently attached liquid (PDMS‐SCAL)‐coated interface promotes droplet sliding instead of splitting or bouncing, allowing stable electricity generation from randomly falling raindrops. The resulting PDMS‐SCAL‐

Bio‐Inspired Gradient Coatings Enhance the Leading Edge Erosion Resistance of Wind Blades

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Rain‐induced erosion of the wind turbine blade leading edge poses a critical challenge to maintenance and operation. Here, we propose a bio‐inspired approach for erosion protection utilising a platelet‐reinforced polyurethane coating with a graded through‐thickness architecture.

Bio‐Based Polyurethanes for Sustainable and Multifunctional Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Bio‐based polyurethanes prepared from vegetable oils, lignin, and polysaccharides have attracted increasing interest as alternatives to fossil‐derived polyurethanes. This review summarizes recent progress in their chemistry, structural engineering, and advanced applications, highlighting the roles of feedstocks, chain‐segment design, dynamic covalent ...

Quantum‐Like Dynamics in Whole‐Brain Models of the Human Connectome

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Quantum‐like dynamics in the human brain. The level of quantum‐like behavior in a non‐quantum system of coupled oscillators is regulated by the spectral gap of the coupling graph. Whole‐brain modelling using QL fits the empirical data significantly better and has a lower model‐derived energy cost than the non‐QL model.
