Designing Scalable Mechano‐Virucidal Nanostructured Acrylic Surfaces for Enhanced Viral Inactivation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Can a surface be designed to physically break viruses? This study explores how nanoscale geometry—specifically the spacing of tiny pillars—can determine whether viruses remain intact or rupture. Using flexible acrylic and a scalable fabrication process, the authors develop nanopillared, transparent surfaces that show strong antiviral activity without ...

Dual‐Responsive Yarn‐Based Artificial Muscles for Adaptive Thermal Management

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Inspired by the conscious movements of skeletal muscle, a novel hybrid yarn‐based artificial muscle (HYAM) coupling moisture actuation with controllable recovery is developed. This unique design increases actuation stroke by 128% and shortens recovery time by 91%. This unique design enhances the actuation stroke by 128% and reduces the recovery time by

Ion‐Confinement‐Assisted Erasure Purifies Oxidized MXene for Reuse

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An erasure‐purification strategy removes surface‐derived TiO2 from oxidized Ti3C2Tx MXene by ion‐confinement‐induced interfacial conversion to soluble titanates, followed by brief acid washing. The scalable process enables approximately 70% material recovery, restores electrical conductivity, and recovers functional performance, including high ...

Wearable Cooling Textiles of Thermal Conduction and Sweat Transfer for Personal Thermal Management

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study constructs a three‐dimensional thermal‐conductive pathway using biomass‐based fibers. The thermally conductive composite fibers were designed into Janus‐structured fabrics. The wearable cooling textile exhibits unidirectional moisture‐wicking properties (476% index), a high water evaporation rate (5209.92 g/m2/day), and effective skin ...
