Recent Advances in Collective Behaviors of Micro/Nanomotor Swarms

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This review describes the driving forces behind collective motion, explores the self‐organization of micro/nano swarms across zero‐dimensional (0D), one‐dimensional (1D), two‐dimensional (2D), and three‐dimensional (3D) spaces, and highlights their potential in drug delivery, environmental monitoring, and smart devices.

Improving Ionic Conformality Across Polymer Electrolyte|Electrode Interfaces

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Polymer electrolytes typically form physically intimate electrode interfaces but often fail to maintain continuous ionic pathways, critically limiting battery performance. Through strategic compositional design, this study introduces a molecular ionic composite electrolyte that effectively reduces interfacial ionic depletion, ensuring consistent ion ...

Liquid‐in‐Liquid Prints: High‐Density Biochemically Encoded Information Preserved in Microdroplet Arrays

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This work introduces a novel approach for encoding and storing information in the liquid state in microdroplet arrays. These liquid‐in‐liquid prints are generated by a droplet printing system capable of dynamically setting the composition of each droplet pixel.

Asymmetry of the Ferroelectric Phase Transition in BaTiO3

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Phase transitions are typically assumed to behave identically in forward and reverse. This work shows that in the ferroelectric material barium titanate this is not true: heating drives an abrupt, first‐order jump, while cooling gives a smooth, continuous change.

Single‐Cell Hyperthermia: Diamond Quantum Thermometry Reveals Thermal Control of Macrophage Polarization

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Photothermal nanodiamonds with quantum sensing capabilities generate lysosome‐confined hyperthermia, enabling simultaneous temperature and radical detection via diamond sensing. This localized thermal and oxidative stress drives pro‐inflammatory (M1) macrophage polarization, revealing a new strategy for precision immunomodulation through subcellular ...
