Real‐Time Monitoring of Mass and Mechanical Properties in Single Cells and Multicellular Spheroids

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study introduces photothermally actuated microcantilevers combined with optical microscopy to simultaneously measure morphology, mass, and mechanical properties of cellular systems in real‐time. The findings link cytoplasm‐dominated mechanical energy dissipation to the Q‐factor as a novel biophysical parameter.

A Hybrid Hierarchical Framework for Quantifying Mechanical Markers in Atherosclerotic Disease Progression: A New Approach for Diagnosis and Risk Assessment

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The mechanobiological basis of atherosclerotic progression and its contribution to spatial and temporal heterogeneity remain incompletely understood. Spatially resolved AFM measurements revealed that plaque formation and distinct regions (cap fibrosis, intimal fibrosis, and lipid‐rich core) exhibit heterogeneous elastic modulus and viscoelastic ...

Vine‐Inspired Soft Robotics: Materials, Actuations, and Emerging Applications

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Vine‐inspired robots grow from the tip, enabling navigation through confined spaces with minimal disturbance. This Review summarizes material and actuation strategies for vine‐inspired growth, key functions including steering, retraction, attachment, branching, and variable stiffness, and emerging applications spanning medical intervention, confined ...

Sea Cucumber‐Inspired Double‐Network Biopolymer Hydrogels for Programmable Soft Machines

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Inspired by the mutable dermis of sea cucumbers, the collagen‐alginate double‐network elastomeric (CoDE) hydrogel achieves programmable, recoverable, and functional mechanical behavior. The CoDE hydrogel mimics the mutable stiffness of the sea cucumber dermis through a densified collagen cryogel scaffold that is secondarily reinforced by a dissipative,

Decoding Interfacial Polymerization Through Steady Amine Delivery and Real‐Time QCM‐D Monitoring

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We combine steady amine delivery with in situ quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation to track interfacial polymerization in real time. The platform resolves three kinetic regimes: pre‐gelation oligomerization, post‐gelation aggregation and network growth, and diffusion‐limited film evolution.
