Architectural Tuning of Bouligand Electrospun Laminates Enables Coupled Mechanical Robustness and Electromechanical Sensing

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bioinspired Bouligand architectures are translated into biodegradable polymer laminates with integrated sensing, revealing how structural design governs multifunctional performance. A 20° interlayer rotation optimizes strength, flexibility, and electromechanical response, while embedded nanotube networks enable real‐time damage detection and wearable ...

Thickness‐Programmable Opto‐Memristive Dynamics in 6‐In Wafer‐Scale Atomic‐Layer‐Controlled WS2 for Reservoir Computing

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A 6‐in wafer‐scale atomic‐layer‐controlled tungsten disulfide (WS2) is achieved by combining plasma‐assisted synthesis with three‐gas reactive ion etching. Precise layer control enables tunable band‐gap evolution and pulse‐history‐dependent opto‐memristive dynamics.

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.

Hydrogel‐Based Method for High‐Resolution Measurements of Contact Mechanics in Rapid Biological Adhesives: A Case Study in Cuttlefish Tentacle Strikes

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Cuttlefish and squid can catch their prey within milliseconds using specialized tentacles and suckers. The physics of how the suckers can attach so quickly has remained a mystery given the technical challenges of studying them in vivo. In this publication, we develop a hydrogel that retains imprints of the suckers in order to estimate the forces they ...

High‐Modulus Skeleton‐Reinforced PDMS Microstamps for Precision Transfer Printing of Microscale Devices

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Elastomeric micropillars bend under contact loading, sliding microscale devices out of alignment during transfer printing. A hybrid PDMS stamp embeds a high‐modulus skeleton within each pillar while retaining a compliant contact surface. The reinforcement confines pillar deformation, suppressing interfacial sliding and preserving array registration on ...
