Programmable Entanglement of Granular Mechanical Metamaterials
This paper introduces entangled granular metamaterials—clusters of complex grains whose interlocking drives emergent, tunable properties. Here, we identify geometric features that enable entanglement and quantify them via disentanglement dynamics. We demonstrate robotic handling where magnetically controlled grains achieve robust collective picking and

This study reveals how vorticity—a swirling flow pattern—enhances platelet aggregation and thrombus formation in high‐shear conditions. Using a custom microfluidic model, it is shows that vorticity promotes vWF–GPIbα interactions and calcium signaling, providing new insights into thrombosis mechanobiology and informing safer blood‐contacting medical ...

Norbornene Homopolymerization Limits Cell Spreading in Thiol–Ene Photoclick Hydrogels
Thiol–norbornene click reactions are often used in the development of cell‐permissive 3D hydrogels. However, ene–ene crosslinks in other thiol–ene systems are known to limit permissivity. This study demonstrates the negative effects of norbornene homopolymerization on 3D cell spreading and circumvents the issue by modulating polymer degree of ...
