An ionic liquid nanoparticles for dermal targeted delivery and effective anti-wrinkle treatment
Journal of Dermatologic Science and Cosmetic TechnologyBackground: Aging is a natural process that cannot be stopped but retarded. Hydroxypinacolone retinoate (HPR) is a potent anti-wrinkle agent, but with severe irritancy, low stability, and poor water solubility, making it hard to apply in cosmetics. Ionic

Charge‐Induced Morphing Gels for Bioinspired Actuation
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This study introduces a novel electroactive actuation mechanism that enables the gel material to generate substantial and reversible shape‐changing while preserving topological and isochoric (volumetric) equivalence. The resultant morphing behaviors can mimic the movements of muscle‐driven organelles in nature, including cilia‐like beating and ...
