A Recyclable and Biodegradable High‐Performance Piezoelectric Nanogenerator for Self‐Powered Biosensing and Assistive Human‐Machine Interaction

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
By exploiting multiscale hydrogen‐bonding interactions between HFPD and TOCNF, the composite simultaneously achieves a high piezoelectric coefficient (14.0 pC·N−1), outstanding flexibility (100 000 bending cycles), water‐assisted recyclability, excellent biodegradability, and sensitive wearable/implantable sensing for motion, speech, and Morse code ...

Strengthening Constitutive Motifs in Isotropic Fibrous Hydrogel for Exceptional Damage Resistance

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An orientation‐free strategy is reported for fabricating damage‐resistant hydrogels by strengthening constitutive motifs in isotropic fibrous (IF) networks. Through nonsolvent quenching followed by salting‐out, IF networks are generated and their multiscale constituents are subsequently reinforced, yielding dense and crystalline isotropic nanofiber ...

Tear film stability assessment by corneal reflex image degradation

A method for tear film break up measurements based on the degradation of corneal reflex images caused by dry spots is presented. The experimental setup, which is based on recording the corneal reflex image or the first Purkinje image, is described, as ...

Active Oscillations of Elastic Membranes Arising from the Coupling with a Catalytic Reaction

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Coupling an elastic membrane to a catalytic reaction produces active oscillations that self‐sustain for hours: the membrane cyclically inflates and deflates as the reaction spontaneously activates and deactivates, without external power. Energy release is directly embodied in the oscillation dynamics, opening elasto‐chemical strategies for the physical

In Situ Generation of Gel Foam via Heat‐Accelerated Calcium Ion Release From Nano‐CaCO3 for Lithium‐Ion Battery Fire Suppression and Prevention

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We present a heat‐accelerated in situ crosslinking strategy to create an alginate gel foam for lithium‐ion battery fire suppression. At ambient temperature, the formulation maintains low viscosity for easy foam generation. After exposure to fire, δ‐gluconolactone hydrolysis accelerates, enabling rapid Ca2+ release from CaCO3 and rapid ionic ...

A Robust Bio‐Supportive Hydrogel Patch for Full‐Thickness Repair of Gastroesophageal Defects

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Gastroesophageal defect repair remains a formidable clinical challenge plagued by high leakage and life‐threatening complications. We develop a double‐disc, highly crystalline PVA‐based RBS hydrogel patch featuring suture‐free sealing, robust acid/enzyme resistance and mechanical durability.

Neonatal Sevoflurane Exposure Induces Long‐Term Cognitive Impairment via Epigenetically Mediated MMP9 Activation and Perineuronal Net Disruption in the Hippocampal CA2

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Hippocampal CA2 perineuronal nets ensheathing excitatory pyramidal neurons are selectively vulnerable to repeated neonatal sevoflurane exposure. Epigenetic upregulation of MMP9 via reduced H3K27me3 disrupts PNN integrity, impairs BDNF–TrkB signaling, and causes synaptic protein loss and dendritic spine deficits, leading to persistent social and spatial

Overcoming Out‐of‐Plane Conduction by Changing Nanosheet Morphology

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
HTaWO6 membrane made of stacked nanotubes exhibits high out‐of‐plane proton conductivity of 1.7 mS/cm. High current density (1.26 A cm−2) and power density (294 mW cm−2) indicate the potential as a fuel‐cell electrolyte. The morphology‐driven strategy establishes topology engineering as a new design principle for efficient ion transport in two ...
