Hierarchical Multi‐Material Architectures With Gradient Design for Dynamic‐Range Flexible Tactile Sensing

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Hierarchical multi‐material TPMS lattices are engineered as flexible tactile sensors by combining soft and stiff elastomeric layers with a conformal conductive coating. The bilayer architecture delivers sensitivity at low pressures while maintaining a broad detectable range under large loads, enabling reliable pressure and vibration monitoring for ...

Skin‐Like Tri‐Modal Sensors Based on Soft Piezoelectric and Ionic Composites

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Inspired by the multimodal perception of human skin, a soft, skin‐like tri‐modal sensor is presented. The device incorporates an ionically conductive, piezoelectric, elastic composite as its active layer, enabling independent detection of temperature, static strain, and dynamic strain within a single two‐terminal architecture.

Turning Water Into a Tool: From Degradation Pathways to Functional Engineering in Halide Perovskites

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Water exhibits a threshold‐dependent dual role in lead halide perovskites, acting either as a degradation trigger or as a powerful tool for defect passivation, recrystallization, and structural engineering. This review discusses how controlled water‐mediated interactions govern stability, dimensionality, and optoelectronic performance, providing ...

Artificial Synaptic Device Based on Self‐Aligned c‐In2O3 TFTs With an Ultrathin MgO Interlayer

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A coplanar synaptic thin‐film transistor based on crystalline In2O3 is demonstrated using a PECVD SiO2 gate insulator and an ultrathin MgO interlayer. The MgO interlayer suppresses excessive carrier density and may facilitate proton‐related interfacial polarization, resulting in stable counterclockwise hysteresis and synaptic behavior.

Unraveling and Mitigating Resolution Loss in UV‐Assisted Vapor Phase Polymerization of Monolithic PEDOT:Tosylate Electrochromic Patterns

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
This work aims to understand the origin of pattern deviation in PEDOT:Tos films formed via vapor phase polymerization on UV‐exposed oxidant. UV exposure induces formation of loosely bound water which diffuses and produces macroscopic structuring at increased block copolymer contents.
