Bending‐Resistant Intimate 3D Graphene–Metal Heterojunctions for Highly Sensitive and Robust Flexible Sensors

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A reservoir‐guided silver‐nanoparticle soldering strategy is developed for bending‐resistant 3D graphene–metal heterojunctions. Controlled hot‐plate evaporation confines conductive ink within the metal reservoir, suppressing spreading and protecting the LIG interface from deformation‐induced fracture.

Hierarchical Physical‐Cyber Encryption via Metasurface‐Encoded Holographic Keys

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Physical‐layer encryption based on metasurfaces has emerged as a promising alternative to conventional algorithmic cryptography by embedding security into physical processes. However, most existing metasurface‐based encryption schemes operate within single‐stage or static frameworks, where correct physical illumination directly reveals the ...
