Chemo‐Mechanical Coupling in Hydrogels: Dynamics in the Diffusion‐Limited Regime
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A time‐dependent continuum model is developed to capture the transient swelling dynamics of chemo‐mechanical hydrogels. By coupling chemical reactions, solvent transport, and polymer deformation, volume phase transitions, reaction kinetics, and transient mechanical instabilities are analyzed.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.The pre‐internalization phase of endocytosis remains poorly characterized at single‐cell levels. Single‐cell pre‐internalization mechanics are investigated using advanced robotic techniques. Cancer cells exhibit biphasic adhesion – rapid initial binding followed by reinforcement – while fibroblasts show gradual engagement.

A Universal Way to Manipulate Droplet via Light‐Fueled Thermocapillary Convection
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A non‐contact light‐induced droplet manipulation strategy fueled by mid‐infrared (MIR) light irradiation is introduced. No additional additives and/or complex substrate are required. Here, thermocapillary convection, directly generated by temperature gradient at outer surface of droplet via localized surface heating, plays a key role to propel the ...

Graft Copolymer‐Stabilized Liquid Metal Nanoparticles for Lithium‐Ion Battery Self‐Healing Anodes
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This study presents a self‐healing liquid metal anode for lithium‐ion batteries, where graft copolymer‐stabilized eutectic gallium indium (EGaIn) nanoparticles enhance stability and rate performance. The fluorinated grafted copolymer forms ionic channels, preventing EGaIn aggregation and facilitating lithium‐ion migration.
