Elastic Energy Storage in Biological Materials: Internal Stresses and Their Functionality
Harnessing and storing internally generated elastic energy is a clever strategy by biological materials to perform functions like shape transformation, movement, and predation. This review explores how biological systems manipulate mechanisms like atomic or protein integration into minerals, protein conformational shifts, phase transitions, and osmotic

This study reports a near‐infrared (NIR) luminescent material (Mg2SiO4:1.5%Cr,5%Li) with efficient (EQE = 48%) ultra‐broadband (FWHM ≈ 2413 cm−1 (226 nm)) NIR emission at 960 nm upon blue‐light excitation. This innovation addresses the low efficiency of long‐wavelength (λmax > 900 nm) NIR‐emitting materials due to the radiationless de‐activation and ...

The influence of copper oxidation states on TiO₂/ZSM‐5 catalysts is investigated for photocatalytic CO2 reduction to methanol. A Cuδ⁺‐modified Ti₂/ZSM‐5 catalyst (CTZ‐1) exhibits superior activity due to enhanced electronhole separation, the presence of Ti3⁺, and a core–shell structure.

Multi‐Material Gradient Printing Using Meniscus‐enabled Projection Stereolithography (MAPS)
MAPS is a new vat‐free printing technique that utilizes programmed delivery of resin droplets with custom formulations to enable multi‐material gradient printing of 3D structures with user‐defined variations in mechanical stiffness, opacity, surface energy, cell densities, and magnetic properties. Abstract Light‐based additive manufacturing methods are
