To address functionality limitations in plant‐based and industrially compostable polymer aerogels, this work introduces bio‐inspired aerogels with broadened functionality. Inspired by functional plant tissues, lightweight biopolymer aerogels based on exclusively stereocomplex crystals are fabricated, featuring hierarchically macro‐/meso‐porous ...

Seamless Mechanical Programming Through Hybrid Epoxy–Acrylate Printing for Soft–Rigid Robots
Hybrid epoxy‐acrylate printing enables seamless fabrication of soft–rigid robotic systems with covalently integrated interfaces and functionally graded mechanics. Grayscale exposure expands the accessible material space, enabling spatially programmed actuation through patterned stiffness while revealing the mechanics and durability of continuously ...

Nonplanar Bouligand Architectures for Enhanced Mechanical Performance in Cementitious Composites
Inspired by the impact region of the Mantis shrimp dactyl club, nonplanar additive manufacturing translates sinusoidal Bouligand architectures into cementitious composites. Printing‐induced anisotropy and architected interfaces promote distributed damage and arrest crack propagation, enhancing strength and energy absorption.

Efficient in‐Plane Exciton Transport in a Discontinuous Layered Lead‐Bromide Perovskite
A new class of two‐dimensional lead‐bromide perovskite based on monovalent 4‐aminomethylbenzoic acid cations is presented, featuring a discontinuous inorganic layer. Despite the discontinuous lattice, transient photoluminescence microscopy demonstrates efficient though strongly anisotropic in‐plane exciton transport.

Descriptor‐Informed Screening of Interface‐Active Molecules for Efficient Magnesium Metal Anodes
A descriptor‐informed molecular screening strategy identifies 4‐bromo‐N, N‐dimethylaniline (BrNNA) as an interface‐active electrolyte component that enables fast Mg stripping/plating in Mg(TFSI)2‐based electrolytes. By simultaneously regulating Mg2+ solvation and interphase formation, the BrNNA‐containing electrolyte delivers activation‐free Mg ...
