Directional Confinement Governed Ion Transport for Efficient Actuation
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Structural anisotropy provides an effective means to regulate ion transport in polymer electrolytes. Directionally aligned channels formed by freeze‐drying provide continuous pathways for ion migration, enhancing ion mobility and simultaneously improving the strain and blocking force of ionic actuators.

Biomass DNA: An Emerging Building Block for Advanced Materials
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Biomass DNA is rapidly emerging from its traditional role as a genetic blueprint to serve as a versatile abundant, highly programmable polymeric building block. This review highlights the transformation of macroscopic bulk biomass DNA into next generation of functional materials, spanning from dynamic hydrogels, sustainable bioplastics, and high ...

Mechanically‐Driven Reconstruction of Lithium Metal for Stable All‐Solid‐State Batteries
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Mechanical reconstruction reorganizes commercial Li from surface to bulk by refining surface topography, renewing the native passivation layer, and establishing a strongly (200)‐preferred texture. Native‐passivation renewal promotes interfacial Li‐ion transport, whereas texture homogenization regulates the spatial distribution of Li flux and supports ...

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.This study reports on the chemical modification of hyaluronic acid to create hydrogels with hydrolytic degradability ranging from 2–28 days. Granular hydrogels that undergo timed degradation to increase porosity enhance cell invasion and provisional ECM remodeling in a muscle injury model, leading to reduced fibrosis and improved regeneration ...

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.In this study, we show that retinal matrix stiffness is increased in diabetic mice. Using engineered human vascular models with controlled matrix stiffness, we demonstrate that stiffening activates focal adhesion kinase (FAK) signaling in pericytes, suppresses Notch signaling, and disrupts vascular morphology.
