2D Skeletal Muscle Thin Film Actuators Enhance Efficiency of Biohybrid Robots

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
2D skeletal muscle thin film actuators generate millinewton‐scale forces and millimeter‐scale strokes while remaining functional for over 30 days. Their force density is 20‐fold higher than 3D skeletal muscle actuators, enabling multi‐fin robots with tunable speed and multidirectional steering.

Concentration‐Dependent Self‐Assembly and Nanoparticle Maturation of Reflectins

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Within squid skin, structural coloration arises from iridophores whose Bragg reflector‐like ultrastructures contain high‐refractive‐index reflectin proteins. Coarse‐grained molecular dynamics simulations and dynamic light scattering measurements reveal how concentration modulates reflectin A2 self‐assembly.

The origin of ultrahigh piezoelectricity in relaxor-ferroelectric solid solution crystals

, 2016
The discovery of ultrahigh piezoelectricity in relaxor-ferroelectric solid solution single crystals is a breakthrough in ferroelectric materials. A key signature of relaxor-ferroelectric solid solutions is the existence of polar nanoregions, a nanoscale ...

Electrically Induced Phase Transition and Synaptic Functionality in MoTe2/Graphene Memristors

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
An electrically induced reversible 2H ↔ 1T′ phase transition is demonstrated in a vertical Au/Ti/MoTe2/graphene memristor with a laterally contacted graphene electrode. Resistive switching proceeds through a compositionally invariant amorphous/2H ↔ amorphous/1T′ transformation, in which a self‐formed amorphous MoTe2 interfacial region is proposed to ...

Rapid Microwave Plasma Engineering of HfO2/C@C Core‐Shell Fibrous Membrane Toward Flexible High‐Performance Electromagnetic Wave Absorption

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Rapid microwave plasma torch engineering tunes crystal phases, carbon graphitization and oxygen‐vacancy defects in HfO2/C@C core‐shell fibrous membranes. Synergistic multi‐loss effects optimize impedance matching to deliver −65.75 dB reflection loss and a 7.37 GHz effective bandwidth for flexible electromagnetic wave absorption.
