Biohybrid Crawling Robot With Spiral‐Spring Backbone and Inclined Legs for Enhanced Locomotion

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
We present a biohybrid crawling robot integrating a muscle ring with a flexible skeleton combining two complementary structural elements. The spiral‐spring backbone enables large‐amplitude bending without compromising axial stability, while outward‐inclined legs with unequal front–rear lengths effectively convert deformation into directional strides ...

Seamless Mechanical Programming Through Hybrid Epoxy–Acrylate Printing for Soft–Rigid Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Hybrid epoxy‐acrylate printing enables seamless fabrication of soft–rigid robotic systems with covalently integrated interfaces and functionally graded mechanics. Grayscale exposure expands the accessible material space, enabling spatially programmed actuation through patterned stiffness while revealing the mechanics and durability of continuously ...

Surface Functionalization Modulates Collective Cell Behavior Near Topological Defects Induced by Topographical Patterning

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Strongly adhered cells align with concentric circular ridges and exhibit predominantly tangential motion, whereas weakly adhered cells fail to follow topographical guidance and display enhanced radial inward motion. ABSTRACT Living cells establish long‐range orientational order through collective alignment, giving rise to topological defects whose ...

Cellulose Surface Modification Effects on Equilibrium and Non‐Equilibrium Wetting by Water

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Molecular dynamics simulations of nanometer‐sized water droplets spreading on cellulose substrates show strong effects from surface chemistry on both equilibrium contact angles and spreading dynamics. ABSTRACT Chemical modification is an important route to tuning interactions between nanocellulose and its surrounding media. Specifically, it affects the

Culinary Chemistry as a Platform for Interfacial Materials Design

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Culinary processes control interfaces through heating, shear, gelation, and molecular transport. This Review connects selected gastronomic examples with food‐derived nanomaterials, plasmonic sensing, anthocyanin photovoltaics, and intelligent packaging. Original agar‐based plasmonic films illustrate the proposed translation.

Spatial Homeotropic and Planar Liquid Crystal Alignment Patterning

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
A voltage‐assisted two‐step photoalignment methodology achieves precise micro‐patterning of alternating planar and homeotropic liquid crystal domains. Applying an AC electric field during in situ laser illumination minimizes phase retardation, reducing the required exposure dose. This cooperative mechanism enables high‐resolution spatial patterning and
