Dynamic Supramolecular Polyurethane Elastomers Enabling Bioinspired Strain‐Adaptive Stiffening to Resolve the Softness–Strength Paradox

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 31, 4 June 2026.
Segmental‐level molecular engineering of a supramolecular polyurethane elastomer integrates strain‐adaptive chains, soft elastic segments, and dynamic hydrogen bonding motifs. This design reconciles skin‐like softness with muscle‐level strength, offering a sustainable and high‐performance material platform for next‐generation artificial skin and soft ...

Thermoelectric Properties of a Diketopyrrolopyrrole Polymer With Radical Pending Units

Advanced Electronic Materials, Volume 12, Issue 12, 22 June 2026.
The successful incorporation of TEMPO radicals as side‐chain groups onto the conjugated backbone of an n‐type polymer significantly enhanced the doping efficiency of N‐DMBI via a hydrogen transfer doping mechanism. ABSTRACT Organic n‐type polymers usually suffer from relatively low electrical conductivity which hampers their application as an active ...

Collaborative Optimization of Charge Carrier Dynamics and Energy Loss of Organic Solar Cells via Rational Morphology Regulation

Aggregate, Volume 7, Issue 6, June 2026.
This work systematically investigates the effects of 3‐phenylthiophene (TPh), biphenyl (BPh), and 1‐chloro‐4‐iodobenzene (CIB) additive treatments on photoactive layer morphology. Among them, BPh synergistically enhances charge dynamics and significantly reduces energy loss, enabling simultaneous improvements in photocurrent and voltage and thus ...

Too close for comfort: Self‐crowding transforms protein structure and stability beyond volume exclusion

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Proteins operate in crowded physiological environments, yet their conformational and oligomeric states are largely inferred from experiments performed under dilute buffer conditions. Here, we show that for lysozyme (LYS) and bovine serum albumin (BSA), self‐crowding at physiologically relevant concentrations alters protein structure and ...

A Dithio Vinylthio C2 Synthon Enabling Crystalline and Luminescent Sulfur‐Decorated Polymers

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Volume 65, Issue 22, 25 May 2026.
Transforming CaC2 into a modular C2 building block enables the synthesis of α,ω‐bis(vinylthio) monomer and its conversion into crystalline, sequence‐defined sulfur‐decorated polymers. Their dense thioether clustering induces nonconventional luminescence and provides structure–function control in a more‐sustainable polymer platform.

Harnessing the Orientation of Columnar Discotic Liquid Crystals for Narrowband Blue Emission with Enhanced Out‐Coupling Efficiency Toward Improvement of SP‐OLEDs Performance

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 36, 4 May 2026.
Solution‐processed OLEDs containing discotic liquid‐crystalline MR‐TADF emitters are reported. Supramolecular self‐assembly induces homeotropic columnar alignment, enforcing preferential horizontal orientation of the emitter transition dipole moment in spin‐coated films, which leads to an enhancement in the device light outcoupling efficiency while ...

Shape‐Controlled Guanine Self‐Assemblies for Stable and Fast‐Ion Solid–Electrolyte Interphases in Sustainable Li Metal Batteries

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 40, 18 May 2026.
The shape of guanine self‐assemblies is tuned by introducing alkyl (G8), fluoroalkyl (G8f), and oligoether (G8g) side chains into the G moiety. The scanning tunneling microscopy results and calculations show that the presence and type of the side chain strongly affect the G self‐assembly network.

Counterion‐Controlled Photocatalytic Doping of Organic Semiconductors

Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 25, 4 May 2026.
Counterion size is shown to actively control photocatalytic doping in organic semiconductors. Small anions suppress aggregation of acridinium photocatalysts, enhance electron transfer, and dramatically increase doping efficiency. This simple strategy enables conductivities up to 2000 S cm−1 in benchmark polymers, revealing counterions as a powerful yet

Time‐Resolved SAXS Reveals Distinct Millisecond Metal‐Induced Conformational Dynamics of Monomeric α‐Synuclein

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 25, 4 May 2026.
Time‐resolved SAXS reveals how physiologically relevant metal ions shape the earliest conformational responses of monomeric α‐synuclein. Fe3+ induces rapid compaction, Cu2+ generates heterogeneous and partially folded ensembles, while Mn2+ and Zn2+ cause only modest changes.

Beyond Cartilage‐Inspired Supramolecular Polyurethane for Adaptive Impact‐Resistant Protection with Robustness, Self‐Healing, and Recyclability

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 22, 17 April 2026.
Cartilage‐inspired supramolecular polyurethane–urea (PU‐BAMB) elastomers are developed by integrating hierarchical hydrogen bonding and π–π stacking interactions within a dynamically reconfigurable network. This synergistic supramolecular architecture overcomes the intrinsic trade‐off between rigidity and recoverability, imparting exceptional toughness,
