Chemically Programmable Underwater Sound‐Absorbing Metamaterial via MXene Self‐Assembly
Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 51, 14 September 2026.MXene self‐assembly creates a chemically programmable underwater metamaterial with quasi‐periodic layers and a chemical‐physical multi‐level constraint system. A crosslinker as a ‘chemical scissor’ precisely edits microscopic interactions, exciting deep‐subwavelength strong local resonances that induce near‐zero/negative effective bulk modulus (Keff ...

Aggregate, Volume 7, Issue 9, September 2026.Biological function arises from aggregates rather than from molecules. Comparing biomimetic systems on a common basis reveals three transferable design rules governing hierarchical assembly, interfacial gradients, and stimulus‐coupled anisotropy, and identifies self‐healing and single‐step multiscale integration as properties that do not transfer to ...
