Elastic Energy Storage in Biological Materials: Internal Stresses and Their Functionality

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
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

Computational and Experimental Analysis of Drug‐Coated Microneedle Skin Insertion: The Mode of Administration Matters

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This study investigates how the mode of application affects drug delivery from coated microneedles. Combining finite element modeling with custom 3D‐printed Franz Diffusion Cells, the researchers found that prolonged application pressure from microneedles in situ reduces drug permeation.

Nanoinjection Platform for Drug Delivery in Breast Cancer Therapeutics

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
A schematic shows Nanoarchaeosomes loaded with doxorubicin (NAD) delivered via silicon nanotubes (SiNTs) into MCF‐7 cells, triggering apoptosis and necrosis. Released doxorubicin generates ROS, disrupts mitochondria, and intercalates DNA. This dual‐action nanoinjection enhances cytotoxicity and improves breast cancer therapy efficacy.

Magnetic Field Imaging with an Optical Microscope Using a Quantum Diamond Sensor Add‐On

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
 A retrofit system is presented which transforms standard optical microscopes into a powerful tool for magnetic imaging. The add‐on integrates the sensor based on the nitrogen‐vacancy centre in diamond, light source, microwave antenna, and bias magnet, and enables brightfield, darkfield, and magnetic imaging modes.

How to Manufacture Photonic Metamaterials

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Metamaterials boast applications such as invisibility and “hyperlenses” with resolution beyond the diffraction limit, but these applications haven’t been exploited in earnest and the market for them hasn’t grown much likely because facile and economical methods for fabricating them without defect has not emerged.

High Photoluminescence Quantum Yield and Tunable Luminescence Lifetimes in the Sub‐Second Range of CaS:Eu2+ Phosphors for Tracer Based Sorting

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Efficient plastic waste sorting is crucial for circularity. Advanced methods using lanthanide photonic tracers enhance recycling beyond near‐infrared sorting. Europium(II)‐doped phosphors, with high stability and long luminescence decay, improve tracer detection in sorting systems, enabling precise identification of different plastic materials ...
