Skin‐Interfaced Therapeutic Patches for Wound Fluid Management and Transdermal Drug Delivery
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.This study presents an integrated skin‐interfaced device combining microfluidics, hydrogel film technology, flexible electronics, and iontophoresis‐based transdermal delivery of PDRN to enhance wound healing. The device effectively manages wound fluid, maintains optimal moisture, and non‐invasively delivers therapeutic drugs.

A Soft Microrobot for Single‐Cell Transport, Spheroid Assembly, and Dual‐Mode Drug Screening
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.A soft, untethered hydrogel microrobot enables precise single‐cell delivery, self‐assembly into 3D spheroids, and real‐time thermal actuation. Driven by light‐induced convection and embedded with gold nanorods and temperature sensors, the microrobot guides cells, modulates local microenvironments, and supports drug testing.

Reverse osmosis for the treatment of well water and wastewater for reuse [PDF]
International Journal of Human Capital in Urban ManagementBACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Freshwater is a scarce resource, constituting only 2.5% of Earth's total water. Approximately 90% of freshwater is concentrated near the South Pole of the Antarctic Circle, exacerbating its scarcity for living organisms ...

Emergent Motility of Self‐Organized Particle‐Giant Unilamellar Vesicle Assembly
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs), when combined with silica particles under alternating electric fields, spontaneously self‐assemble into motile structures. Asymmetric particle decoration induces fluid flows that propel the assemblies, enabling persistent motion and reversible control.

Biocompatible Ink Optimization Enables Functional Volumetric Bioprinting With Xolography
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Xolography's reliance on weak‐base co‐initiators introduces unique biochemical constraints. By dissecting the effects of extracellular pH, osmolality, and lysosomotropic stress, this study defines the biochemical design space that enables fully biocompatible, cell‐laden volumetric printing. Abstract Xolography is a novel linear volumetric manufacturing
