Advanced Science, EarlyView.A biomimetic multi‐layer hygroscopic membrane redistributes salt toward an air‐accessible nanofiber interface, enabling rapid interfacial deliquescence while a brush‐like hydrogel promotes efficient liquid transport and storage. By decoupling vapor capture from bulk water storage, the membrane achieves fast sorption kinetics and enables rapid‐cycling ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.We develop bio‐based, star‐branched polyamides from itaconic acid and cadaverine with tunable lower critical solution temperature (LCST) transitions for dynamic solar modulation. Specific metal ion coordination with pyrrolidone moieties drives precise phase transitions via calcium‐induced salting‐in and sodium‐induced salting‐out mechanisms. Formulated
