Inspired by the intricate microstructure of cicada wings, researchers developed a novel in situ skeleton‐graphene membrane architecture within lightweight foams. This bioinspired design dramatically enhances multifunctional performance: vibration attenuation time decreases by ∼83.3%, damping capacity increases by ∼179.3%, and compressive modulus rises ...

Bio‐Inspired Gradient Coatings Enhance the Leading Edge Erosion Resistance of Wind Blades
Rain‐induced erosion of the wind turbine blade leading edge poses a critical challenge to maintenance and operation. Here, we propose a bio‐inspired approach for erosion protection utilising a platelet‐reinforced polyurethane coating with a graded through‐thickness architecture.

This work designed an injectable metal‐drug supramolecular condensate formed from hafnium ions and alendronate (Hf‐ALN) and loaded with the COX‐2 inhibitor celecoxib (CXB) for synergistic radioimmunotherapy of postoperative osteosarcoma. Mechanistically, upon X‐ray irradiation, Hf enhances radiation energy deposition, ROS generation, and DNA damage ...
