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 ...

Dendritic Nano‐Based Slippery Coating by Synergistic Mechanical and Electrostatic Interactions with Persistent and Exceptional Combats Thrombosis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A novel dendritic nano‐based slippery coating (DNSC), fabricated by encapsulating carboxyl silicone oil within amino dendritic silica nanoparticles and co‐embedding them in an epoxy resin matrix. The dendritic architecture enhances nanoparticle dispersion in the matrix and establishes mechanical interlock.

Pierceable, Water‐Resistant, and Transparent Nanofilm Electrodes Comprising Carbon Nanotubes for Long‐Term Monitoring of Plant Electrophysiology

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Ultra‐flexible electrodes composed of single‐walled carbon nanotubes on a polymeric substrate exhibit excellent transparency, water resistance, and conformability to hairy surfaces. These non‐invasive nanofilms are easily pierced by trichomes, overcoming the structural barriers in plant electrophysiology.

Highly Aligned Bacteria Cellulose Yarn Aggregation for Energy Generation and Strain Sensing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Although high‐performance bacterial cellulose fibers have attracted significant interest for wearable electronics, a self‐powered and high‐mechanosensitive design is still scarce for achieving an intelligent integrated system. Here, we demonstrate an innovative bio‐fabrication strategy to develop a core‐sheath yarn that features the ordered network and

Multi‐Force‐Driven Self‐Recoverable SWIR Mechanoluminescence for Underwater Communication

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study represents the first demonstration of self‐recoverable mechanoluminescent (ML) within a single material across diverse mechanical modes, enabled by the synergistic coupling of piezoelectric and triboelectric effects. Through a combinatorial doping approach, the MgNb2O6 crystal exhibits breakthrough short‐wavelength infrared ML performance ...
