Mechanoactive Biomaterials for Cell–Matrix Mechanotransduction

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
The graphical abstract shows how individual triggers (force, light, or temperature) and combined optothermal or receptor‐targeted actuation induce material responses at the tissue, cellular, and receptor scales. Their spatial (global or focused) and temporal (continuous or cyclic) modulation determines the resulting mechanical output.

A Self‐Cleaning Solar Evaporator Based on MXene/Aramid Nanofiber Aerogels for Efficient Water Desalination

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This study develops a self‐cleaning solar evaporator based on MXene‐coated aramid nanofiber aerogels for efficient desalination under high‐salinity conditions. The cylindrical evaporator combines strong photothermal conversion, capillary water transport, and self‐rotation triggered by salt accumulation.

Laser‐Induced Local De‐Doping in Organic Semiconductors

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
The polymer PBTTT‐C14 doped with the small molecule acceptor F4TCNQ is considered as a benchmark material system. Mask‐free, microscale patterning of the doping level via laser‐induced heating and sublimation of dopant molecules is shown. Controlling laser irradiance and swath spacing allows dopant level control with laser‐limited resolution, opening ...
