An Ultrapotent, Ultraeconomical, Antifreeze Polypeptide
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Simple and inexpensive polypeptides composed of random copolymers of alanine and glutamic acid are effective antifreezes for applications in foods and biomedicine. The polypeptides, inspired by natural extremophile proteins, inhibit the growth of large ice crystals and prevent damage to sensitive biologics.

The Promise of Solid Lubricants for a Sustainable Future
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Lubricants are vital for technology, saving energy and resources. The industry seeks sustainable solutions beyond fossil fuels. Solid lubricants offer extremely low friction and reduce environmental impact, especially in harsh conditions. Can these solids truly replace liquid lubricants, or are they limited to extreme applications?

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.This review systematically examines the nanomechanical mechanisms of mussel‐inspired molecular interactions, primarily investigated by direct force measurement techniques such as surface forces apparatus and atomic force microscopy. The macroscopic adhesive and self‐healing performances of mussel‐inspired functional materials, including coacervates ...

Light‐Activated Micromotors in Air Propelled by Thermal Convection
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Near‐infrared‐driven micromotors in air can overcome gravity and generate convective motion by a light‐induced thermal mechanism driven by a temperature gradient in the air caused by the interaction of the gold nanoparticles present on the surface of ZnO and NIR irradiation.

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.The lipid droplet inhibitor (LDI), templated with large‐pore mesoporous silica and functionalized with PKCα C1A and lipase, targets lipid degradation in fatty liver. The LDI maintains stable association with lipid droplets, thereby suppressing their formation and expansion.

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.It is demonstrated that contact resistance is effectively eliminated in two‐probe micropore device metal/protein/metal bioelectronic junctions. These results, using two different protein types in these junctions, show that, as ultrathin (<40 nm) films, proteins are an even more efficient electronic transport medium than previously thought, when the ...

Engineered Protein‐Based Ionic Conductors for Sustainable Energy Storage Applications
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Rational incorporation of charged residues into an engineered, self‐assembling protein scaffold yields solid‐state protein films with outstanding ionic conductivity. Salt‐doping further enhances conductivity, an effect amplified in the engineered variants. These properties enable the material integration into an efficient supercapacitor.
