Bound Water as a Reinforcing Element for Ultra‐Strong Polyacrylamide

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Rather than acting as a conventional plasticizer, bound water serves as a reinforcing element in polyacrylamide by constructing strong PAM–water–PAM hydrogen‐bond networks. This water‐mediated architecture delivers ultra‐high mechanical strength and exceptional flame resistance, redefining the role of water in polymer reinforcement.

Cicada Wing‐Inspired Skeleton‐GO Networks in Melamine Foams for Multifunctional High‐Performance Composites

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Inspired by the intricate microstructure of cicada wings, researchers developed a novel in situ skeleton‐graphene membrane architecture within lightweight foams. This bioinspired design dramatically enhances multifunctional performance: vibration attenuation time decreases by ∼83.3%, damping capacity increases by ∼179.3%, and compressive modulus rises ...

Metal Active‐Site Exposure via Ligand Engineering Boosts CO2‐to‐Ethylene Conversion on Cu18 Nanoclusters

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Through quantitative ligand stripping of [Cu18H17(PR3)10]+ nanoclusters via intramolecular interaction modulation, selectivity for CO2 electroreduction to C2H4 is significantly enhanced. The weakly coordinating ligand triggers dual‐ligand stripping (FEC2H4 = 70.59%), whereas the strongly coordinating ligand results in single‐ligand retention (FEC2H4 ...

In Situ Programmable Modulation of Hydrogel Stiffness for Stage‐Adaptive Bone Regeneration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Near‐infrared (NIR) irradiation triggers Ca2+ release from thermoresponsive nanocarriers, enabling in situ stiffening of an adaptive hydrogel from a soft to a stiff state, thereby sequentially supporting mesenchymal stromal cell stemness and osteogenic differentiation for stage‐adaptive bone regeneration.

Structural Control Over Bicontinuous Emulsions from Solvent‐Transfer Induced Phase Separation Through Nanoparticle Loading

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The nanoparticle loading enables effective control over the liquid domain size in bicontinuous interfacially jammed emulsion gels (bijels) produced through solvent‐transfer induced phase separation (STrIPS). The relationship between the nanoparticle loading and domain size profiles in STrIPS bijels is resolved through confocal microscopy and explained ...

Topology-driven extraordinary damping in nature-inspired architected interpenetrating phase composites

npj Metamaterials
High mechanical damping is intrinsically difficult to achieve in load-bearing structures, as stiff materials dissipate little energy while highly dissipative materials lack structural utility. Here, we show that topology-controlled interpenetrating phase

A pH‐Switchable Cerium Single‐Atom Enzyme for Peri‐Implantitis Therapy via JAK‐STAT Signaling Axis‐Mediated Macrophage Reprogramming

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A pH‐switchable cerium single‐atom enzyme is developed for stage‐specific peri‐implantitis therapy. Acidic conditions trigger antibacterial peroxidase‐like activity, whereas neutral conditions activate an antioxidant superoxide dismutase ‐ and catalase ‐like enzymatic relay. This microenvironment‐adaptive catalytic strategy suppresses the IL‐6/JAK‐STAT
