Assembling a True “Olympic Gel” From over 16 000 Combinatorial DNA Rings
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Olympic gels are an elusive class of soft matter, consisting of molecular networks held together purely by mechanically interlocked rings. Their topological structure promises unique properties and functions, but their synthesis has proven notoriously difficult.

High‐Density Topological Defect Array by Two‐Step Interference Photoalignment
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.High density arrays of topological defects in nematic liquid crystal are realized by two‐step interference photoalignment, with a minimal distance of 1.25 micrometer and disclination lines connecting defects on opposing substrates. Such layers can be used as reconfigurable templates for photonic devices to achieve large angle diffraction, beam shaping ...

Hydrogel‐Based 3D‐Printable Stretchable Pressure Sensor
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.We present a carbon‐black‐functionalized double‐network granular hydrogel (DNGH) pressure sensor capable of detecting pressures from 200 Pa, equivalent to a light finger touch, up to 500 kPa. The sensor exhibits signal drifts below 3.5% after 800 cycles and response times around 80 ms. Leveraging this broad sensing range, we 3D print this material into
