Dead Matter, Living Machines: Repurposing Crustaceans' Abdomen Exoskeleton for Bio‐Hybrid Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Crustacean exoskeletons, repurposed from food waste, are engineered into sustainable bending actuators combining biotic structure with synthetic control. The augmented exoskeletons achieve rapid and robust motion with lightweight body and can be used as part of robotic manipulators, grippers and swimmers.

Deformable Eutectic Alloy With Near‐Theoretical Yield Strength via Hierarchical Nanoscale Multiphases and Sessile Defects

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A CoCrFeNiTa0.4 eutectic high‐entropy alloy achieves a near‐theoretical yield strength of 2.6 GPa with 13.6% plasticity. This breakthrough stems from a hierarchical nanostructure (FCC‐Laves lamellae with L12/D022 precipitates), which alleviates the inter‐phase modulus/hardness mismatch through synergistic strengthening and toughening, guiding the ...

Active Thermal Metasurfaces Enable Superscattering of Thermal Signatures Across Arbitrary Shapes and Thermal Conductivities

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study proposes a thermal superscatterer capable of manipulating thermal scattering signatures far exceeding the actual scale of objects. Utilizing transformation thermotics and active thermal metasurfaces, the device reproduces the thermal scattering signature of the enlarged thermal scatterer.

A Shear Thickening Colloidal Suspension Functioning via Progressive Impact Jamming with Persistent Lubrication Layer

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
An ionic liquid‐based shear‐thickening fluid (ILSTF) exhibits lubricated dynamics from strong shear thickening to impact‐triggered jamming. A persistent nanometric solvation layer around silica governs both the shear thickening saturation in rheology and jamming front propagation under dynamic impact compression.

Monolithic 3D Printing of Origami‐Inspired Soft Robotics from Sustainable Bio‐Based Resin

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This work develops a photocurable, bio‐based resin from soybean oil for the monolithic fabrication of sustainable soft robots via Digital Light Processing. An origami‐inspired, vacuum‐actuated soft gripper is designed and fabricated, enabling reliable operation despite the material's lower elongation.

ADAMTS9‐AS2 Disrupts Docetaxel‐Resistance in Castration‐Resistant Prostate Cancer via Stemness Suppression and Ferroptosis Induction

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study uncovered a dual‐track mechanism by which ADAMTS9‐AS2 overcame chemoresistance in CRPC: suppressing cancer stemness through the FOXF2/TGF‐β2 pathway, and triggering ferroptosis via competitive SLC7A11 sequestration. Polymeric materials co‐targeting these vulnerabilities further boost docetaxel sensitivity, highlighting a compelling strategy ...
