Recent Advances in Collective Behaviors of Micro/Nanomotor Swarms
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.This review describes the driving forces behind collective motion, explores the self‐organization of micro/nano swarms across zero‐dimensional (0D), one‐dimensional (1D), two‐dimensional (2D), and three‐dimensional (3D) spaces, and highlights their potential in drug delivery, environmental monitoring, and smart devices.

Macrophages Mediate Mesoscale Brain Mechanical Homeostasis
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.We investigated the role of infiltrating immune cells in sculpting the developing brain. Using Brillouin microscopy and active microrheology, we found microglia actively maintain tissue viscoelasticity. Moreover, colony stimulating factor one receptor (CSF1R)‐driven stromal remodeling alters brain mechanics in vivo. These findings link immune activity,

Liquid Metal Microrobots for Magnetically Guided Transvascular Navigation
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Liquid metal‐based microrobots combine magnetic steering, intrinsic X‐ray visibility and softness, to navigate blood vessels even against flow. Under clinically relevant magnetic fields, liquid metal microrobots roll along vessel walls, cross endothelial barriers, and accumulate in target tissues.

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Heterophase fcc‐hcp‐fcc RuFeMMnMo (M═CoNi, Co, and Ni) high‐entropy alloy nanomaterials have been successfully synthesized using a one‐pot approach. The highly random distribution of multiple metal components and the tunable diversity of metal atomic arrangements can be realized simultaneously. By combining metals with different work functions, fcc‐hcp‐
