From Grave to Cradle: Kombucha Waste for Sustainable Electronics
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study introduces a sustainable method to purify kombucha bacterial cellulose (KBC) with sodium bicarbonate and hydrogen peroxide, avoiding harsh chemicals. KBC films are patterned with gold and function as pressure sensors for flatfoot gait detection. At the end‐of‐life, the KBC‐based device biodegrades in soil, leaving environmentally benign gold

Active Force Dynamics in Red Blood Cells Under Non‐Invasive Optical Tweezers
Advanced Science, EarlyView.A non‐invasive method combines low‐power optical tweezers with high‐speed microscopy to simultaneously monitor local membrane forces and displacements in single human red blood cells. This dual‐channel approach reveals a mechano‐dynamic signature that correlates the cell's metabolic state with its mechanical activity. This energetic framework serves as

Miniature Robotic Swimmer with Precise 2D Motion Control via Acoustic Vortex‐Induced Propulsion
Advanced Science, EarlyView.In this work, a miniature robotic swimmer achieves precise 2D motion using sound waves with customized 3D‐printed lenses. Localized acoustic vortices drive both translation and rotation of the swimmer without mechanical parts. This contactless approach offers a novel route to controlled micro‐scale movement, with promising applications in biomedical ...

Helix Alignment, Chevrons, and Edge Dislocations in Twist‐Bend Ferroelectric Nematics
Advanced Science, EarlyView.The recently discovered twist‐bend ferroelectric nematic (NTBF) is the new member of the multiferroic family, representing a fluid with an oblique helicoidal (heliconical) periodic structure of spontaneous electric polarization. The work presents a thorough exploration of the material properties of this phase, how the periodic modulation of ...
