Biomass DNA: An Emerging Building Block for Advanced Materials

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Biomass DNA is rapidly emerging from its traditional role as a genetic blueprint to serve as a versatile abundant, highly programmable polymeric building block. This review highlights the transformation of macroscopic bulk biomass DNA into next generation of functional materials, spanning from dynamic hydrogels, sustainable bioplastics, and high ...

A Retinal Matrix Stiffening Model Reveals FAK‐Dependent Mechanotransduction in Pericytes Underlies Vascular Destabilization

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
In this study, we show that retinal matrix stiffness is increased in diabetic mice. Using engineered human vascular models with controlled matrix stiffness, we demonstrate that stiffening activates focal adhesion kinase (FAK) signaling in pericytes, suppresses Notch signaling, and disrupts vascular morphology.

Highly Efficient Functionalization of hBN With Lithium Oxalate: A Multifunctional Platform for Composites, Ion Transport, and Spin Labeling

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Mechanochemical functionalization of hexagonal boron nitride with lithium oxalate produces LBNCO (Li2(BN)6C2O4${\mathrm{Li}}_{2}{\operatorname{(}\mathrm{BN})}_{6}{\mathrm{C}}_{2}{\mathrm{O}}_{4}$), a layered, intrinsically lithiated material that combines Li+${\rm Li}^+$ transport with high thermal stability and persistent paramagnetic centers.

Life‐Like Ferrous Oxide Microspheres from Kombucha

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Kombucha bacterial cellulose, sodium alginate, and ferrous nitrate self‐assemble into membrane‐enclosed iron oxide microspheres. These microspheres bud daughter vesicles, sustain 24‐h electrochemical oscillations, and filter theta‐band signals.

Reducing Interfacial Separation Force in High‐Speed Constrained‐Surface Projection Stereolithography Using a Dual‐Modulus Silicone Release Film

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
A dual‐modulus silicone release film creates distributed stress concentrations at high‐/low‐modulus boundaries, triggering multi‐site crack initiation and rapid interfacial detachment. The architecture lowers the peak separation force by 97.6%, shortens detachment time, and enables stable continuous projection stereolithography at 720 mm h−1, offering ...

Programmable Variable‐Stiffness Multilayer Elastomer Composites With High‐Aspect‐Ratio Low‐Melting‐Point Alloy Inclusions

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
High‐aspect‐ratio low‐melting‐point alloy inclusions are embedded within multilayer silicone laminates to create thermally programmable stiffness. Sequential activation of alloy‐rich layers produces four distinct mechanical states and reconfigures tendon‐driven actuator trajectories under the same load.

3D Printed Photon Shield Assembly for Low‐Noise Visual Stimulation During Two‐Photon Imaging in Mice

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
We present the Photon Shield, an open‐hardware system for low‐noise two‐photon calcium imaging during visual stimulation in mice. Combining a 3D‐printed headplate and rail‐mounted shield substantially reduces stray‐light contamination, as quantitatively verified. Functional validation confirms reliable cortical responses. Open design files enable broad

Laser‐Induced Local De‐Doping in Organic Semiconductors

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
The polymer PBTTT‐C14 doped with the small molecule acceptor F4TCNQ is considered as a benchmark material system. Mask‐free, microscale patterning of the doping level via laser‐induced heating and sublimation of dopant molecules is shown. Controlling laser irradiance and swath spacing allows dopant level control with laser‐limited resolution, opening ...
