Liquid Crystalline Elastomers in Soft Robotics: Assessing Promise and Limitations

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Liquid crystalline elastomers (LCEs) are programmable soft materials that undergo large, anisotropic deformation in response to external stimuli. Their molecular alignment encodes directional actuation in a monolithic structure, making them long‐standing candidates for soft robotic systems.

MOx/Rh Metallene with Energetic Interfaces as Efficient Bifunctional Electrocatalyst for Durable Water Splitting

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
 . ABSTRACT Developing excellent activity and stability bifunctional electrocatalysts for alkaline water splitting remains challenging. This work constructs ultrathin MOx/Rh metallene heterostructures (M = Fe, Co, Ni) via atmosphere‐controlled solvothermal synthesis, achieving uniform MOx nanoclusters on Rh metallene with optimized interfaces. The FeOx/

A 3D In Vitro Model of the Human Hepatobiliary Junction

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A 3D human organoid platform reconstructs the hepatobiliary junction between primary adult hepatocytes and intrahepatic cholangiocytes. These adult hepatobiliary organoids (aHBOs) support directional bile transport from canaliculi to ductule‐like structures, enable quantitative imaging of junction dynamics, and reveal cell‐type‐specific vulnerabilities
