Guanosine‐Quadruplex Hydrogels as Dynamic, Mechanically Tunable and Ion Conductive 3D Scaffolds for Cell Culture Applications

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Versatile guanosine‐quadruplex (GQ) hydrogels are developed as dynamic biomatrices for cell culture. These scaffolds are fabricated under mild aqueous conditions, present improved stability, tunable mechanical properties within physiological ranges; fibrillar, porous microstructure, ion conductivity, and cytocompatibility.

Critical Coupling in Semi‐Trasparent Fano Resonators for Photothermal Converters

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
An ultrathin metal–insulator multilayer architecture is engineered to exploit Fano‐resonant critical coupling, completely suppressing optical reflectance while achieving a balanced 50:50 trade‐off between absorbance and transmittance. Upon laser excitation at resonance, the metamaterial generates intense localized heat (ΔT≈550∘C$\Delta T {\approx }550^\

Switching Superconductivity with Uniaxial Strain in a high‐Tc${\rm T}_{c}$ Cuprate Superconductor

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Uniaxial strain is demonstrated as a new scheme for a superconductivity switch. Exploiting the large strain‐induced Tc shift in a cuprate superconductor enables robust switching between superconducting and normal states over 100 cycles with only 0.1% strain.

Deformation‐Tolerant Functional Elastomer Overlayers for Haze‐Assisted Light Extraction and Color Conversion in Stretchable Mechanoluminescent Films

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Functional elastomer overlayers are integrated onto stretchable ZnS:Cu‐PDMS mechanoluminescent films to regulate light after emission without modifying the emissive composite. NLC‐PU provides haze‐assisted light extraction to enhance green mechanoluminescence, while DCM‐NLC‐PU combines green‐to‐yellow‐orange color conversion with enhanced outward light

Programming Neuromorphic Plasticity Through Ionic and Electronic Coupling in Organic Electrochemical Transistors

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Neuromorphic plasticity in OECTs is governed by the post‐stimulus evolution of coupled ionic and electronic states. Semiconductor chemistry and morphology, electrolyte composition and interfaces, and device architecture regulate ion injection, transport, confinement, and release, shifting responses from rapidly relaxing STP to metastable memory and ...
