Rational Tuning of Hygroscopic Oscillation of Stacked Nanoflake Assemblies for Continuous Ambient Energy Harvesting

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Stacked nanoflake assembly (SNA) membranes can oscillate autonomously, offering opportunities for soft actuation and energy harvesting. This work uncovers the physical mechanism behind the sustained oscillation of SNA membranes in gradient humidity and identifies three governing dimensionless parameters, enabling rational design for optimizing SNA ...

Field‐Programmed Anisotropy in Magneto‐Piezoelectric Composites for Material‐Encoded Mechanoperception

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Field‐programmed anisotropy imparts material‐level intelligence to soft composites. Magnetic torque dynamics drive magneto‐piezoelectric nanowires from random dispersion into deterministic axial alignment. The resulting hierarchical percolation networks confine electromechanical coupling to specific axes and intrinsically decouple superposed force ...

Field‐Programmable Mobile Magneto‐Photonic Metaparticles for Active Light Manipulation and Steering

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
We report magneto‐photonic metaparticles that integrate magnetic actuation with nanoimprinted metagratings, enabling mobile and programmable beam steering in aqueous environments. This platform achieves real time, directional light control beyond static or line‐of‐sight systems, while remaining compatible with scalable fabrication, providing a ...

Boolean Logic‐Based Control Over Recombinant Protein Biomaterial Degradability and Therapeutic Delivery

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Fully recombinant protein‐based biomaterials execute complex Boolean logic for user‐programmable material degradation and concomitant therapeutic cargo release. Biologics, such as growth factors, can be incorporated within the crosslinkers as “drugamers”, while encapsulated cells can be released according to nested YES/OR/AND‐type logical operations ...

Decoupling Photochemical and Photothermal Effects Using Molecular Motors Enables Fast, Intelligent, and Life‐Like Motions in Soft Materials

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A light‐responsive liquid crystal (LC) polymer network integrating molecular rotary motors and photothermal converters enables the decoupling of photochemical and photothermal effects. Selective wavelength activation allows orthogonal control over persistent shape encoding and fast reversible motion, enabling programmable soft robots capable of complex

Uniaxial Stress Enhanced Anisotropic Magnetoresistance and Superconductivity in the Kagome Superconductor LaRu3Si2

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
We identify strong anisotropy in the upper critical field and magnetoresistance in the kagome superconductor LaRu3Si2, revealing pronounced electronic anisotropy. Uniaxial stress enhances magnetoresistance and Tc, with a positive correlation suggesting an electronic pairing mechanism.
