Electrically Tunable Friction: From Sticky to Slippery with Ionic Hydrogels

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 8, 6 February 2026.
This work demonstrates electrically tunable friction “from sticky to slippery” using ionic hydrogels, achieving reversible more‐than‐fifty‐fold modulation without liquid lubricants. An electric field extracts a salt‐rich interfacial layer that dramatically reduces friction.

Treatment with Plasma Activated (Salt) Water Sterilizes Macromolecular Coatings While Maintaining Their Integrity and Functionality

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 13, Issue 3, 3 February 2026.
PDMS samples were covalently coated with mucin glycoproteins and then treated with either plasma activated water (PAW) or saline (PAS) as a means of disinfection. The samples could be successfully sterilized without compromising the structural integrity or functionality of those coatings.

Enhanced Water Harvesting on Directionally Patterned Slippery Undecylenic‐Modified Cellulose Nanoparticle Surfaces

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 13, Issue 3, 3 February 2026.
Bioinspired slippery surfaces combining the hydrophobic–hydrophilic patterns of beetle backs and the lubricated structure of pitcher plants enable efficient water harvesting. The patterned hydrophilic regions promote droplet nucleation and coalescence, while the infused lubricant ensures rapid droplet transport, providing a robust strategy for ...

High‐Speed, Maneuverable, and Terrain‐Adaptive Micro‐Robot with Tree Frog‐Inspired Bionic Feet

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 7, 3 February 2026.
A 7.5 mm micro‐robot integrates tree frog‐inspired bionic feet with an electromagnetic linear motor to achieve high‐speed locomotion, slope climbing, and precise turning. It reaches 39 body lengths per second and ascends 30° slopes. The system demonstrates strong potential for inspection tasks in confined and complex environments, such as micro‐aero ...

Adaptation of Wild Asian Seabass (Lates calcarifer) to Artificial Feed in Cage Culture: A Case Study

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the adaptation strategy of wild Asian seabass (Lates calcarifer) to artificial feed in an open floating cage over a period of 360 days. A total of 1800 wild seabass with an initial length of 19.91 ± 0.26 cm and a weight of 72.85 ± 3.94 g was stocked at a density of 15 fish per m3 in 60 m3 cages and subjected to two ...
