Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This study presents an injectable hydrogel that responds to Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection by releasing a dual‐phage cocktail on demand. The system degrades selectively in infected wounds, enhances phage localization and stability, and shows potent antibiofilm activity and biocompatibility in an ex vivo human skin model—offering a promising strategy ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A coacervate charged polymer network is designed to regulate Coulomb interactions for stabilizing silicon anodes. By tuning electrostatic interactions, the binders enhance adhesion, stress dissipation, and interfacial stability. The binder with the strongest Coulomb interactions enables high areal capacities and stable full‐cell cycling with Ni‐rich ...

Smart Nanogels as Enzyme‐Driven Nanomotors for Navigating Viscous Physiological Barriers
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Two families of urease‐powered nanomotors (NMs), with and without a p‐(2‐hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (p‐HEMA) shell, have been successfully prepared. Both types exhibit effective motion in highly viscous synovial fluid media at low urea concentrations (25 mM).
