A Critical Call for Mechanistic Investigations of Metal‐Bacteria Interactions

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
It is well established that the antibacterial properties of metals have tremendous importance for bioengineering applications. What is not as appreciated, however, is the reproducibility crisis in this field's vast literature. In this perspective, we highlight this reproducibility problem, discuss its sources, and suggest solutions towards focused ...

A Noninvasive Approach to Study Localized Forces in 3D Epithelia

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Epithelial morphogenesis depends on dynamic mechanical coupling between adhesion complexes and the cytoskeleton, yet its regulation in polarized 3D tissues remains elusive. We developed a noninvasive strategy using cell‐like elastic microbeads to quantify local forces in intact epithelia.

A Coaxial Bioprinted Hydrogel With Semipermeable Sheath and Pro‐Chondrogenic Core for Articular Cartilage Repair

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
A sheath‐core biomimetic hydrogel is engineered with a compartmentalized yet integrated architecture for synergistic multifunctionality. Its stiff, semipermeable sheath mimics the ECM's load‐bearing and protective roles, encapsulating a soft core that provides a pro‐chondrogenic microenvironment similar to the PCM.

Photocatalytic Water Splitting on the Lunar Surface: Prospects for In Situ Resource Utilization

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Water has been found in craters on the moon nearby locations which are illuminated >80% of the time. Photocatalysis uses energy from sunlight to drive chemical reactions such as water splitting to produce oxygen and hydrogen. It is a scalable technology that requires lighter equipment and utilizes resources available on the moon. ABSTRACT The discovery

Binder‐Free Direct Ink Writing of Li6.4La3Zr1.4Ta0.6O12 Garnet Electrolytes for All‐Solid‐State Batteries

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Polymer binders and thick pressed LLZTO pellets limit all‐solid‐state battery integration through grain‐boundary carbon and high ohmic losses. A binder‐free capillary suspension ink is direct‐ink‐written and sintered into 254 μm$\mu{\rm m}$, 95.8%‐dense Ta‐stabilized LLZTO with 17.3 mS cm−1$\text{cm}^{-1}$ bulk conductivity, enabling thinner ...

Millifluidic Synthesis of Core–Shell Resonators For Tunable Sonic BandGaps in Acoustic Metamaterials

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Millimeter‐scale core–shell acoustic resonators are fabricated by a gravity‐assisted dripping approach and incorporated into epoxy composites at controlled volume fractions. The resulting alumina–core resonator composites show tunable low‐frequency acoustic attenuation, demonstrating a scalable route for integrating locally resonant metamaterial units ...
