Coordinated Architectural and Chemical Reinforcement in the Crushing Mandible of a Soldier Termite

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The crushing mandible of a soldier termite withstands substantial biting loads despite lacking mineral. Its cuticle is partitioned: convex teeth pair hardness and zinc enrichment with aligned chitin fibers for contact durability, while stiffer concave regions between teeth carry bending loads.

Biodegradable 3D‐Printable and Coatable Antifouling Composites for Marine Applications

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Marine biofouling damages submerged surfaces and raises greenhouse gas emissions. Biodegradable antifouling biocomposites were developed by hot‐mixing beeswax, Tween 80, and calcium stearate or stearic acid. Adjusting the component ratio enables processing via hot‐pressing, 3D‐printing, or dip‐coating.

Autonomic cardiac control following 30 days strict head down tilt bedrest

, 2023
Background: Autonomic cardiovascular regulation is impaired both after bedrest and after space flight. Impaired autonomic control likely limits cardiovascular adaptation to physiological stresses such as standing.

Mechanics of Telson Ridges in Mantis Shrimp for Impact Analysis and Implications for Bioinspired Elastic Shell Designs

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The mantis shrimp telson reveals how ridged biological shields control deformation under impact. Inspired by this architecture, telson‐inspired ridged curved shells transform ridge geometry and macroscopic curvature into bidirectional snap‐through, tunable stiffness, and enhanced hysteretic energy dissipation for multifunctional architected materials ...

Beyond Primary Nucleation: Molecular Basis of Peptide Crystal Secondary Nucleation at Soft Interface

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
High spatiotemporal‐resolution atomic force microscopy directly resolved peptide secondary nucleation (SN) and growth characteristics and mechanisms on HOPG. The landscape of peptide nucleation sites, growth dynamics, molecular‐scale structures, phase transitions, and cross‐seeding processes were realized.

Highly Efficient and Stable Roll‐to‐Roll Coated Perovskite Solar Cells Enabled by Antisolvent Vapor‐Assisted Crystallization

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Antisolvent Vapour‐Assisted Crystallization (AVAC) enables controlled perovskite crystallization through precisely metered antisolvent vapour, eliminating liquid antisolvent waste. Compatible with roll‐to‐roll (R2R) slot‐die coating, AVAC produces uniform, pinhole‐free films with enlarged grains, delivering efficiencies of 18.3% for R2R fabricated ...

An Overlooked Transport Mechanism in Organic Mixed Conductors

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Electrical transport in organic mixed ionic‐electronic conductors is commonly described by ionic and electronic conduction. Here, eumelanin reveals that polarization‐assisted displacement currents constitute an additional transport component that coexists with conductive transport.

Spatially Controlled Embedded Bioprinting of Prevascularized Spheroids‐Containing Biopatch Enables Functional Skin Regeneration

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A spatially controlled embedded bioprinting strategy enables precise engineering of prevascularized multicellular spheroids within skin‐derived dECM bioinks. Optimized spheroid size, composition, and spacing promote vascular maturation, paracrine signaling, and tissue integration, resulting in enhanced angiogenesis, blood perfusion, and functional skin
