Dynamic Physicochemical Gradients for Tendon–Bone Regeneration

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Dynamic physicochemical gradients offer a framework for reconnecting soft tendon and hard bone. This Review examines how hydration, transport, loading and degradation reshape these gradients during healing. Coordinating regional biological cues with progressive transfer of load from scaffold to tissue guides the design of interfaces that retain ...

Hydrogel‐Based Method for High‐Resolution Measurements of Contact Mechanics in Rapid Biological Adhesives: A Case Study in Cuttlefish Tentacle Strikes

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Cuttlefish and squid can catch their prey within milliseconds using specialized tentacles and suckers. The physics of how the suckers can attach so quickly has remained a mystery given the technical challenges of studying them in vivo. In this publication, we develop a hydrogel that retains imprints of the suckers in order to estimate the forces they ...

Multi‐Energy Coupling in Hierarchical Textiles for Photo‐Thermal‐Electric Conversion

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study develops a V‐shaped sandwich evaporator via hierarchical heat‐flow management to resolve constraints on energy utilization and heat allocation in solar evaporation‐thermoelectric systems. The device achieves an evaporation rate of 2.18 kg m−2 h−1 and a peak power density of 224.15 mW m−2, providing an effective strategy for off‐grid solar ...

Architected Bio‐Based Iontronic Skin With Dual‐Mode Pressure and Strain Sensing

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bio‐based acrylates in combination with an ionic liquid create 3D‐printed ionogels with compositionally tuneable mechanics and ionic conductivity. Gyroid architectures amplify low‐pressure sensitivity while preserving robust strain sensing, enabling dual‐mode detection of pressure and deformation.

An Overlooked Transport Mechanism in Organic Mixed Conductors

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Electrical transport in organic mixed ionic‐electronic conductors is commonly described by ionic and electronic conduction. Here, eumelanin reveals that polarization‐assisted displacement currents constitute an additional transport component that coexists with conductive transport.

Multifunctional Photochromic Piezoionic Eutectogels Through Interfacial Nanoparticle Engineering

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Photochromic WO3 nanoparticles enable photoresponsive piezoionics in deep eutectic solvent‐based eutectogels by coupling photoinduced electronic processes with pressure‐driven ionic transport. Interfacial nanoparticle engineering enhances ionic mobility and electromechanical output, while reversible photoactivation modulates the electrical response ...
