Dilute but Dense – Reversible Crosslinking Enables Water‐Rich (Bio)polymer Condensates
Reversible crosslinking between two types of (bio)polymers drives liquid–liquid phase separation even in good solvent. The arrangement of binding motifs controls condensate formation and density, and internal network structure. Simulations and theory reveal a closed‐loop coexistence phase diagram at very low monomer concentrations and re‐entrant ...

An ionic liquid‐based shear‐thickening fluid (ILSTF) exhibits lubricated dynamics from strong shear thickening to impact‐triggered jamming. A persistent nanometric solvation layer around silica governs both the shear thickening saturation in rheology and jamming front propagation under dynamic impact compression.

Clickable Microgel Inks Enable Spatioselective, Multi‐Stimuli Programmable Assembly of Materials
Clickable microgel inks enable direct ink writing of hydrogel architectures with intrinsic spatioselective and programmable multi‐responsiveness. By combining pH‐responsive and temperature‐responsive microgel building blocks through Diels‐Alder interparticle crosslinking, the assemblies exhibit controllable swelling and shape changes.

Combining the Pitcher and Lotus Plant: Supericephobic and Superhydrophobic Silicone Films
Based on bench‐top nanomolding of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) with optimized silicone oil content, we developed hierarchically structured silicone films by essentially combining the properties of the lotus and pitcher plant; particularly we are able to achieve water contact angle as high as 171° and ice adhesion strength as low as 11.5 kPa (i.e ...

Laser‐induced graphene (LIG) provides a scalable, laser‐direct‐written route to porous graphene architecture with tunable chemistry and defect density. Through heterojunction engineering, catalytic functionalization, and intrinsic self‐heating, LIG achieves highly sensitive and selective detection of NOX, NH3, H2, and humidity, supporting next ...
