Poisson's Ratio‐Driven Control of Myogenic Differentiation and Maturation in Auxetic Metamaterials under Dynamic Mechanical Stimulation

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study explored how innovative “auxetic” scaffolds, which expand when stretched, influence skeletal muscle development. Researchers cultured muscle cells on different scaffold designs and applied repeated stretching over 10 days. They found that scaffold geometry affected muscle cell differentiation and fiber formation.

Hydrogel‐Based Method for High‐Resolution Measurements of Contact Mechanics in Rapid Biological Adhesives: A Case Study in Cuttlefish Tentacle Strikes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Cuttlefish and squid can catch their prey within milliseconds using specialized tentacles and suckers. The physics of how the suckers can attach so quickly has remained a mystery given the technical challenges of studying them in vivo. In this publication, we develop a hydrogel that retains imprints of the suckers in order to estimate the forces they ...

Multi‐Energy Coupling in Hierarchical Textiles for Photo‐Thermal‐Electric Conversion

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study develops a V‐shaped sandwich evaporator via hierarchical heat‐flow management to resolve constraints on energy utilization and heat allocation in solar evaporation‐thermoelectric systems. The device achieves an evaporation rate of 2.18 kg m−2 h−1 and a peak power density of 224.15 mW m−2, providing an effective strategy for off‐grid solar ...

Architected Bio‐Based Iontronic Skin With Dual‐Mode Pressure and Strain Sensing

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bio‐based acrylates in combination with an ionic liquid create 3D‐printed ionogels with compositionally tuneable mechanics and ionic conductivity. Gyroid architectures amplify low‐pressure sensitivity while preserving robust strain sensing, enabling dual‐mode detection of pressure and deformation.

One‐Component Carbon Dot Photoinitiator Enables High‐Fidelity Digital Light Processing 3D Printing With Improved Mechanical Resistance

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Furfural carbon dots functionalized with acylphosphine oxide photosensitive groups (CD‐PO PI) demonstrate potential as one‐component photoinitiators for digital light processing (DLP) 3D printing. Compared to conventional diphenyl(2,4,6‐trimethylbenzoyl)phosphine oxide (TPO), CD‐PO PI offers improved printing resolution, resin toughness, and biological
