A Perspective on the Origin of High‐Entropy Solid Electrolytes

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This perspective critically examines HE approaches in SEs, highlighting how compositional complexity induces system disorder and local‐structure evolution to enhance stability and properties. While HE concepts are attractive, establishing rigorous structure‐property relationships requires further investigation.

On‐Chip Active Non‐Reciprocal Topological Photonics

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
An ultra‐compact and efficient on‐chip isolator is experimentally demonstrated by integrating magneto‐optical InSb onto a terahertz silicon topological chip. The simultaneous breaking of spatial and temporal reversal symmetries forms a valley‐conserved non‐reciprocal waveguide mode, enabling a compact cavity size of 6.4 × 2.5λ2 and a low insertion loss

Capillary‐Driven 3D Open Fluidic Networks for Versatile Continuous Flow Manipulation

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
The capillary‐driven 3D open fluidic networks (OFNs), composed of connected polyhedral frames, enable precise, programmable, and versatile manipulation of unary, binary, and multiple continuous flows in both spatial and temporal dimensions. OFNs represent a significant leap beyond conventional microfluidics, unlocking new possibilities for selective ...

Synthetic Chromatophores for Color and Pattern Morphing Skins

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Cephalopods use chromatophore organs (muscle‐actuated pigment sacs) to alter their skin color and pattern. Synthetic chromatophores, which closely mimic the mechano‐optical process found in cephalopods using stimuli‐responsive microscale hydrogel actuators, are reported.

Multi‐Scale Modeling of a 3D Soft Magnetoelectric Patch for Wireless Nerve Stimulation

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Core‐shell, magnetoelectric nanoparticles (MENPs) can serve as wireless electric nano‐sources, thanks to their ability to generate high levels of electricity, when stimulated by a human‐safe external magnetic field. By combining MENPs with soft, biocompatible polymeric matrices and optimizing its composite configuration and electrical behavior via ...

Ag‐Cu Nanoarchitecture for Enhanced LSPR Absorption: the Role of Surface Roughness and near‐field Interactions

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This study investigates the plasmonic properties and biosensing capabilities of a nanocomposite incorporating Cu and Ag nanoparticles for detecting anti‐DbpA antibodies associated with Lyme disease. The enhanced LSPR response is explained through FDTD simulations of Cu–Ag near‐field interactions and increased surface roughness.

Temperature‐Dependent Properties of Atomic Layer Deposition‐Grown TiO2 Thin Films

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This study explores the temperature‐dependent properties of TiO₂ thin films grown by atomic layer deposition using tetrakis dimethyl amino titanium and water. The films exhibit increased oxynitride incorporation as the process temperature increases from 150 to 350 °C, significantly influencing their optical and electrical properties. Findings highlight
