Ultra‐High Friction and Adhesion in Hydrogel Layer Driven by Wet‐to‐Dry Transition Dynamics

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work reveals a critical wet‐to‐dry transition in polyacrylamide hydrogel layers that induces volumetric shrinkage, resulting in enhanced interfacial contact and dramatically increased friction and adhesion. Leveraging this transition enables strong, reversible gripping on diverse surfaces, offering new insights for hydrogel‐based gripping ...

Electrical Control of the Transduction Channels’ Gating Force in Mechanosensory Hair Cells

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The inner ear's hair cells rely on mechanosensitive ion channels to convert vibrations of their hair‐bundle into electrical signals. We show that varying the electrical potential (U) across the sensory epithelium modulates a key determinant of mechanosensitivity—the gating force (FG)—by modulating the gating swing (d), ranging from the size of the ...
