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 ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study identifies elevated taurocholic acid (TCA) in Major Depressive Disorder patients. Gut microbiome‐associated TCA impairs hippocampal neurogenesis, triggers microglia activation, and elicits depression‐like behavior in mice via the S1PR2. In patients, functional neuroimaging reveals that serum TCA levels correlate with altered functional ...
