Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 20, 9 March 2026.The ultrahard teeth of mollusks that feed on rocky substrates contain a wear‐resistant coating on their surfaces consisting of densely packed mesocrystalline magnetic nanoparticles within an organic matrix. These coatings display significant hardness and toughness through their highly controlled mesocrystalline architectures.

Emergent Freestanding Complex Oxide Membranes for Multifunctional Applications
Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 16, 17 March 2026.This review surveys freestanding oxide membranes and covers fabrication and three pathways for studies and devices: strain‐free and strained membranes, and van der Waals‐integrated heterostructures. We show how coupled oxide responses map onto these routes and cross‐couple to expand behaviors.

Chemomechanical Origin of Morphological Disparity in Lithium Metal Electrodeposition
Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 16, 17 March 2026.Selective dissociation of either solvent or salt on copper current collector induced different solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layers. The solvent derived organic SEI favors formation of Li whisker, while salt derived SEI favors formation of Li particle, revealing the root cause of Li morphology disparity within the same cell.

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 13, 3 March 2026.Diabetic bone marrow exhibits pathological ECM hyperviscosity that activates TRPV2‐mediated Ca2⁺ influx, leading to perinuclear F‐actin disassembly, nuclear deformation, and chromatin condensation. This cytoskeletal‐nuclear decoupling suppresses osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs.

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 15, 13 March 2026.Magnesium silicide (Mg2Si) is introduced as a narrow‐bandgap, biodegradable semiconductor for transient electronics. RF‐sputtered and annealed Mg2Si thin films show high intrinsic electrical conductivity and low thermal conductivity. The polycrystalline material undergoes hydrolysis in aquatic and composting environments with minimal cytotoxicity ...
