A Miniaturized Autonomous Thermomagnetic Generator

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Micro, autonomous and high power thermomagnetic generator operating between a heat dissipator and a processor. ABSTRACT Thermomagnetic generators (TMG) are promising devices for converting low‐grade waste heat into electricity. Self‐actuation using permanent magnets is the key to autonomy.

Bistable Isochoric Chiral Metamaterials with Reprogrammable Multiaxial Responses

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
An isochoric bistable rotational unit cell enables in situ modification of internal contact conditions post‐fabrication, without altering the global envelope dimensions of the surrounding architecture. By selectively switching between open and closed states, the tessellated chiral metamaterial can reprogram its volumetric response, including bulk ...

In Situ Interfacial Assembly of Dynamic Semi‐Interpenetrating Biopolymer Networks for Robust and Mechanically Adaptive Droplet Interfaces

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A dynamic interfacial semi‐interpenetrating polymer network is constructed by sequential assembly of β‐sheet‐rich SF and CS‐RL. The SF framework provides mechanical strength, while dynamically associated CS‐RL enables local rearrangement, allowing droplets to rapidly reconfigure without loss of interfacial integrity.

Strong magnon-magnon coupling and low dissipation rate in an all-magnetic-insulator heterostructure

open access: yes
Magnetic insulators, such as yttrium iron garnets (YIGs), are important for spin-wave or magnonic devices as their low damping enables low-power dissipation.

Ultra‐Thin Tow‐Based Discontinuous Composites—Material Overview and Aspirations

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Tow‐based discontinuous composites made from ultra‐thin tapes offer outstanding in‐plane mechanical properties. This material, inspired by Nacre, has high volume fraction of tapes exceeding 90 % and allows for quasi‐isotropic material plates less than 100 micrometer in thickness.

Integrated Multiband Smart Windows From UV to LWIR Based on Molecularly Engineered Thermochromic Hydrogels

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A multiband smart window integrating a thermochromic poly (EEEA‐co‐NIPAM) hydrogel with functional layers, enabling dynamic VIS‐NIR solar modulation alongside UV shielding and low LWIR emissivity. The polymer network forms hydrogen‐bonding interactions, promoting chain collapse above a reduced lower critical solution temperature, and accelerating the ...

Implementing low-damage building technologies: an overview of energy dissipation in Italy.

open access: yes, 2017
Traditional approaches for the seismic protection of buildings consider the following assumptions: the building is not damaged after a minor earthquake, the building is reparable after a moderate earthquake, and the building will not suffer collapses ...

Poisson's Ratio‐Driven Control of Myogenic Differentiation and Maturation in Auxetic Metamaterials under Dynamic Mechanical Stimulation

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study explored how innovative “auxetic” scaffolds, which expand when stretched, influence skeletal muscle development. Researchers cultured muscle cells on different scaffold designs and applied repeated stretching over 10 days. They found that scaffold geometry affected muscle cell differentiation and fiber formation.

Protease‐Activated Theranostic Nanomedicine for Endometriosis Treatment

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disorder that affects a substantial proportion of reproductive‐aged women. In this study, we identify aberrant overexpression of matrix metalloproteinase‐9 (MMP‐9) in endometriotic lesions and develop a novel multifunctional nanomedicine that integrates MMP‐9‐targeted therapy, ratiometric photoacoustic (PA ...
