Synthetic Active Liquid Crystals Powered by Acoustic Waves

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
A fully synthetic active liquid crystal, energized by an acoustic field, is presented. This system exhibits active nematic behavior, tunable topological defect dynamics, and persistent hydrodynamic vortices at high activity levels. The material maintains stable properties while enabling precise activity control in a wide range.

A Multifunctional Binder for Current‐Collector‐Free Zn Powder Anodes

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
By introducing abundant polar groups as Zn2+ absorption sites and hydrogen bond arrays, a protein structure‐derived binder for ZP anode and iodine cathode is proposed. This design can regulate the Zn2+ flux, benefit the formation of free‐standing electrode, inhibit the side reactions, suppress the shuttle effect of polyiodides, and enable the large ...

A Natural Lignification Inspired Super‐Hard Wood‐Based Composites with Extreme Resilience

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Super‐hard wood‐based composites (WBC) are designed and developed inspired by the mesoscale homogeneous lignification process intrinsic to tree growth. This innovative hybrid structure is achieved by leveraging the infusion of low‐molecular‐weight phenol formaldehyde resin into the cell walls of thin wood slices, followed by a unique multi‐layer ...
