Current Problems in SurgeryRib fractures are common, occurring in approximately 10% of traumatically injured patients.1,2 In the acute setting, management is focused on pain control and pulmonary toilet, to minimize the significant morbidity and mortality associated with these injuries.3 The majority of patients will recover with nonoperative management, with the rib fractures ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Reprogrammable multi‐material smart textiles knitted from liquid crystal elastomer fibers undergo 2D and 3D deformation under thermal and photo stimuli. Circularly knitted tubular structures reversibly contract in radial and axial directions, enabling autonomous climbing, liquid release, and micro pumping.

Anti‐Slip Material‐Based Strategies and Approaches
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.This review highlights the principle mechanisms of slipping at the microscale, linking contact mechanics with a friction behavior model for surface interfaces. Main strategies to develop anti‐slip properties to the surfaces are discussed alongside standardized testing approaches.

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Transducers convert physical signals into electrical and optical representations, yet each mechanism is bounded by intrinsic trade‐offs across bandwidth, sensitivity, speed, and energy. This review maps transduction mechanisms across physical scale and frequency, showing how heterogeneous integration and multiphysics co‐design transform isolated ...

Chemically Doped Conductive Polymers for Wearable Health Monitoring
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Among conductive polymers, poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS), polyaniline (PANI), and polypyrrole (PPy) are the most studied and applied. Chemical doping significantly boosts intrinsic conductivity and mechanical robustness.

Rib‐Reinforced Ultralight and Ultra‐Strong Shell Lattices
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study thoroughly reveals the relation between the curvature and stress direction of triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) thin shell lattices and proposes a novel rib reinforcement design strategy to incorporate ribs along the line of asymptotes (LOA) and the line of principal curvatures (LOC) to enhance the strength of ultralight TPMS shell ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Inspired by nature's competitive maneuvers, this study introduces a combustion‐driven soft actuator that powers a multi‐modal “Jump‐and‐Fly Catbot” (JFC). With millisecond response, high‐force output (over 70 times its weight) and precise control (error within 5%), the robot can jump, fly, hover, and escape from challenging environments, achieving ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.A Lattice Genome framework links geometric and process “genes” to lattice “phenotypes” via correction‐calibrated high‐throughput simulations and a growing performance database. Genome‐driven retrieval and recombination of unit cells enables component‐level, regionally tailored multi‐objective design: stress fields are programmed under constant relative
