Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Drawing inspiration from the layered hard‐soft architecture found in sea sponges, this work establishes a new framework for architected cementitious composites (ACC) through multi‐material additive manufacturing (MMAM) process. The integration of mortar and elastomer phases into layered architectures enables synergistic toughening mechanisms, including

Dizhen xuebao在分析场地条件对地震震害影响及国内外关于软弱土层对场地地震反应影响的基础上，采用实际含淤泥质土层场地资料，建立了12个含软弱土层的场地模型，在不同输入地震动水平下进行了场地地震反应一维等效线性化分析，讨论了软弱土层厚度和埋深对场地地震反应的影响。结果表明：随着软弱土层的埋深或厚度的增加，反应谱特征周期逐渐增大；输入地震动峰值增加，反应谱特征周期亦增大。继而依据软弱土层厚度、埋深及输入地震动强度对场地加速度反应谱特征周期的影响特征，提出了含软弱土层场地地震动加速度反应谱特征周期调整方法。

Microfluidic Valve‐Integrated Garment for Smooth Sequential Gradient Mechanotherapy
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.We present a soft wearable sleeve that delivers smooth, gap‐free compression using overlapping air‐filled actuators and tiny microfluidic valves. The system reduces bulk, lowers power needs, and uses a smartphone‐sized control box. It can provide sequential gradient compression, gradient pressure holding, and fast deflation, supporting more portable ...
