Adaptive Elastin‐Like Hydrogel with Unidirectional and Controllable Anisotropic Actuation for Soft Robotics and Tissue Engineering

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Fiber‐reinforced elastin‐like tubular scaffolds are engineered to achieve anisotropic and reversible actuation under external stimuli. By adjusting fiber's angle, actuation behavior is finely tuned, enabling distinct actuation responses, even within different regions of the same scaffold.

Lightweight and High‐Performance Ankle Braces Enabled by 3D Printed Metamaterial Liquid Crystal Polymer

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A flexible, lightweight ankle brace made from 3D‐printed liquid crystal polymer metamaterials offers targeted support without restricting movement. Programmable stiffness provides protection during risky motions. Biomechanical tests suggest performance comparable to commercial braces with reduced bulk, highlighting potential for broader orthotic ...

Fibrous Structure and Connection Surrounding the Metacarpophalangeal Joint

open access: yesFibrous Structure and Connection Surrounding the Metacarpophalangeal Joint
The fibrous components of the metacarpophalangeal (MP) joint including the palmar plate, the collateral ligament and the dorsal plate were studied with particular attention paid to the fibrous structure of the fibrous tendon sheath and the deep transverse metacarpal ligament.

Cation‐Engineered Post‐Treatment for Blue Perovskite Light‐Emitting Diodes

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
This work presents a cation‐engineered post‐treatment strategy for high‐performance mixed‐halide blue PeLEDs. By investigating the role of 4‐fluorophenylethylammonium (FPEA+) versus conventional phenylethylammonium (PEA+) organic cations in post‐treatment agents, it demonstrates that FPEA+ enables superior preservation of the 3D perovskite structure ...

Mechanoluminescence of Bi‐Activated NaYGeO4 Polycrystals and 3D Printed Scaffolds in the NUV/Blue and NIR Spectral Range

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
NUV/Blue and NIR emitting mechanoluminescent (ML) materials based on a Bi‐doped germanate compound (NYGOBx) are reported. 3D‐printing is used to fabricate complex scaffold devices from this material, suggested for use as mechanically‐activated light sources for functional illumination.

Halogen Bonding‐Enabled Stabilization of Copper(I) Cluster Scintillators in Aqueous Environments

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
A new class of halogen bonding‐strengthened copper(I) cluster‐based X‐ray scintillators is developed, with higher lattice symmetry, reduced trap density, and enhanced stability in polar chemical environments surpassing the performance of halogen‐free counterparts and other conventional scintillators. Abstract Scintillators are essential in applications,
