Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study fabricates Fine Slag/Ti4O7@TiC hybrids with interfacial dioxygen bridge coupling to optimize oxygen redox dynamics in lithium‐oxygen batteries (LOBs). Lattice distortion from oxygen vacancies and inherent charge repulsion of Ti‐O‐C interfacial coupling reconstruct and refine the surface coordination environment.

Magneto‐X Effects in Magnetic Soft Materials and Their Applications
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This review systematically explores magnetic soft materials (MSMs), a novel class of composites that transform under magnetic fields. It catalogs fundamental “Magneto‐X” effects, classifies materials by their matrix and magnetic fillers, and highlights transformative applications in soft robotics, biomedical devices, flexible electronics, etc. Finally,

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.We investigate MACE‐MP‐0 and M3GNet, two general‐purpose machine learning potentials, in materials discovery and find that both generally yield reliable predictions. At the same time, both potentials show a bias towards overstabilizing high energy metastable states. We deduce a metric to quantify when these potentials are safe to use.
