Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 10, 18 February 2026.An adhesive tape–inspired anode stabilization strategy is proposed by grafting poly(methyl methacrylate) onto natural rubber. The resulting copolymer coating exhibits elasticity, adhesion, and ion‐selective nanodomains, which lower Zn2+ desolvation barriers, guide deposition to the stable (002) facet, and ensure intimate interfacial contact, delivering

In Situ Synthesized Glycerol‐Releasing Nanocarriers Unlock Superlubricity in Oil‐Based Lubricants
Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, Volume 311, Issue 2, February 2026.This study presents an in situ synthesis of glycerol‐based nanocarriers in hydrophobic lubricant oils via inverse miniemulsion polymerization. Encapsulating glycerol within a glycerol‐based polyurethane shell resolves miscibility issues between glycerol and the hydrophobic base oil, yielding novel nanoadditives with tunable glycerol loading.

Phase transition structural superlubricity
Structural superlubricity refers to a state with almost vanishing friction and wear between crystalline surfaces in incommensurate configurations. However, thus far, this phenomenon has been observed only at solid-solid interfaces.

Advanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 12, Issue 22, November 22, 2025.Friction force microscopy using diamond tips on epitaxial graphene supported by SiC(0001) shows a sharp friction increase. Silicon tips show similar behavior but at lower threshold forces. Atomistic simulations reveal three different friction regimes as normal pressure rises: graphene‐tip interfacial slip, graphene‐tip bonding, and a reversible ...
