Substituent‐Based Modulation of Self‐Assembly and Immunogenicity of Amphipathic Peptides

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study systematically investigates how positional and subtle changes, such as substituents on the phenyl ring attached to short amphipathic peptides, influence their self‐assembly, fibril morphology, and immunogenic responses. ABSTRACT Self‐assembled peptide‐based biomaterials provide versatile platforms for biomedical uses, featuring customizable ...

Hierarchical Artificial Muscle with Nonlinear Elasticity for Antagonistic and Cyclic Robotics

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We construct hierarchical muscles by plying nylon fibers around a heating wire. The hierarchical muscle shows a J‐shaped passive curve, which shows benefit in antagonistic muscle pair and work accumulation mechanism. We also develop a computational, first‐principle model to understand the physics of both active actuation stroke and passive J‐curve ...

Piezo1 Channel Mediates Mechanically Programmable Drug Delivery to Potentiate Intravesical Chemotherapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study utilizes programmable mechanical pressure as a therapeutic enhancer to establish a mechano‐chemotherapy strategy. Controlled pressure activates the mechanosensitive ion channel Piezo1 in bladder cancer, triggering a calcium ion cascade that transiently and reversibly amplifies membrane permeability to chemotherapeutics.

Machine‐Learning‐Guided Design of Incommensurate Antiferroelectrics via Field‐Driven Phase Engineering

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The key to enhancing the energy storage performance of antiferroelectrics lies in regulating the phase transition and reverse phase transition. A phase‐field‐machine learning framework is employed to predict the energy storage performance of Pb‐based incommensurate antiferroelectrics with multi‐scale regulation strategy, thereby revealing the dynamic ...

Rapid Room‐Temperature Synthesis of Te4+‐Doped Cs2ZrCl6 Vacancy‐Ordered Double Perovskites With Tunable Luminescence Triggered by Extreme Conditions for Advanced Optical Thermometry and Manometry

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Through utilizing a proposed rapid room‐temperature precipitation method, the Te4+‐doped Cs2ZrCl6 vacancy‐ordered doubles with intense STE emission were synthesized. Via using the extreme conditions, i.e., temperature and pressure, stimulus, the luminescence properties of the resulting compounds are significantly modulated, endowing their promising ...

Pressure‐Induced Structural and Magnetic Evolution in Layered Antiferromagnet YbMn2Sb2

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
Pressure tunes the delicate balance between structure, magnetism, and electronic states in quantum materials. In YbMn2Sb2, high‐pressure X‐ray and neutron diffraction reveal a trigonal‐to‐monoclinic transition near 3.5 GPa, accompanied by unconventional magnetic ordering.

How Particle Size Affects Consolidation Behavior, Strain and Properties of Li6PS5Cl Fast Ionic Conductors

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
The densification process of Li6PS5Cl powders with varying particles size distributions reveals differences in smaller and larger distributions. Higher strain is revealed for the smaller particle size distribution from X‐ray diffraction. Discrete element method simulations uncover that the reason for the higher strain is not the particle size itself ...
