Photothermomechanically Efficient, Low‐Cost, High‐Cycle‐Life, Hybrid MXene‐Polymer Actuators
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.The addition of MXenes to elastomer‐plastic‐paper films enables the creation of easily prepared actuators that are scalable for small robotic applications. Known as MXene‐polymer Trilayer Actuators (MPTAs), they bend from UV light. Their usefulness is demonstrated through kirigami‐inspired flower‐shaped art design, parallel manipulator for waveguiding,

Anti‐Slip Material‐Based Strategies and Approaches
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.This review highlights the principle mechanisms of slipping at the microscale, linking contact mechanics with a friction behavior model for surface interfaces. Main strategies to develop anti‐slip properties to the surfaces are discussed alongside standardized testing approaches.

Adhesive Double‐Network Granular Organogel E‐Skin
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.We introduce a double‐network granular organogel adhesive for electronic skin, overcoming adhesion and strength trade‐offs. It provides reversible, robust bonding and ionic conductivity, enabling wearable and soft robotic e‐skin. Thanks to the e‐skin adhesive, a soft robotic trunk can recognize touch, temperature, humidity, and acidity.

Electroluminescence and Franz–Keldysh Modulation Observed in Sn/Ge Multi‐Quantum Wells
Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.We investigate the optoelectronic properties of PIN diodes based on ultrathin α‐Sn/Ge multiple quantum film structures, fabricated by molecular beam epitaxy, both experimentally and theoretically. The samples exhibit a light emission spectrum in the short‐wavelength infrared range with two transitions. Furthermore, when operating as a photodetector, we

Bufalin Inhibits the PI3K/AKT Pathway by Targeting GTF3C4 to Impede Breast Cancer Progression
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Mechanisms of Bufalin‐Mediated Intervention in Breast Cancer. ABSTRACT Breast cancer incidence is rising globally, presenting challenges such as treatment side effects and drug resistance. Bufalin is a bufadienolides compound with potential anti‐cancer effects. This study shows that bufalin inhibits malignant proliferation of MDA‐MB‐231 and MCF‐7 cells
