However, there is still an unexplored spot if the residual MR section is further removed. Herein, the molecular engineering of B‒N covalent bond-fused naphthalene derivatives is demonstrated that are free of MR for yellow emission with a reduced spectral bandwidth and power-efficient white OLEDs. Starting from the BN-nap1 reference, a dual fusion strategy is proposed to design two new yellow emitters, BN-nap2 and BN-nap3, by integrating B‒N bonds with naphthalene via a centro and axial symmetry, respectively. Both of them exhibit significantly red-shifted light to the yellow region, decreased full width at half maximum, improved photoluminescent quantum yield, due to the B-naphthalene-B conjugation and suppressed high-frequency vibrations. As a result, the corresponding warm white devices achieve a record-high power efficiency of 101.4 lm W-1 at 1000 cd m-2 and Commission Internationale de l'Éclairage (CIE) coordinates of (0.342, 0.542). Further device optimization leads to a standard white electroluminescence with CIE coordinates of (0.334, 0.342). The unprecedented performance indicates the great potential of B‒N covalent bond-fused naphthalene derivatives in power-efficient white OLEDs.","PeriodicalId":114,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Materials","volume":"5 1","pages":"e13180"},"PeriodicalIF":29.4,"publicationDate":"2025-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145194607","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, an overview of the non‐temperature‐responsive TSMs stimulated is first presented by various factors such as electrical/magnetic, light, mechanical force, humidity, and temperature, followed by a focused summary of the key mechanisms underlying temperature‐responsive TSMs that have thermal sensitivity. By addressing existing gaps and opportunities in the field of TSMs, we outlook future directions of thermoresponsive TSMs from three aspects: crystal state transition, reconfigurable chemical structures, and temperature‐based multi‐mechanism coupling. Finally, the potential applications of TSMs in data centers, electronic components, and individual thermal management are discussed.

Using materials to control stem cell fate is a substantial field of research within tissue engineering, where stem cell differentiation is controlled through careful design of the material properties (roughness, topography, stiffness, and surface chemistry); the introduction of electromaterials into this field has added an extra dimensionality along with the ability to provide dynamic, temporally controlled cues through electrical stimulation. While significant research has focused on the cell-material interface for electrical stimulation platforms, the underlying reasons why certain materials outperform others remain poorly understood. Most existing studies emphasise mechanical stiffness and chemical composition, often overlooking the role of electronic charge transport. In this perspective, the focus is shifted to the charge transport properties of commonly used electrically conductive materials-such as metal-based electrode, carbon-based composites, and conjugated polymers-and discusses how these mechanisms modulate cellular responses. It is proposed that a deeper understanding of how materials inject, store, and redistribute charge at the interface can offer a new paradigm in designing electrically active scaffolds for more predictable and effective stem cell modulation.","PeriodicalId":114,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Materials","volume":"19 1","pages":"e12399"},"PeriodicalIF":29.4,"publicationDate":"2025-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145182780","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As an underlying mechanism, both a work function and an exchange field modulated by the moiré-induced superstructure are identified, as corroborated by Kelvin probe force microscopy and spin-flip spectroscopy. The joint electrostatic and magnetic interactions allow reversibly switching between the three spin multiplicities by atomic manipulation. An effective Hubbard dimer model is introduced that unifies the effects of local electrostatic gating, electron–electron correlation, hybridization and an exchange field to outline the phase diagram of accessible spin states.

Lithium has important pharmacological applications, although its use is severely limited due to its narrow therapeutic window of administrable concentrations. This study presents a novel nanocarrier for this metal cation based on glutathione-stabilized gold nanoparticles (LiG-AuNPs), which enable targeted release of lithium. LiG-AuNPs are easily synthesized, with dimensions of ≈2 nm, with a lithium loading of 2 wt%. These particles show a tendency to aggregate and a narrow size distribution. Aggregates of LiG-AuNPs (a-LiG-AuNPs) are non-toxic to cells at concentrations lower than 2 mg mL-1 and are rapidly internalized into cells, where they release lithium in the cytosol through cation exchange, effectively modulating Glycogen Synthase Kinase-3 (GSK-3β) activity, especially the β isoform. Administration of a-LiG-AuNPs in murine models increased the inhibitory phosphorylation of GSK-3β at Ser9. Intranasal administration of a-LiG-AuNPs modulated GSK-3β activity in the brain, particularly in the hippocampus, without significantly altering plasma lithium levels, even when the administration lasted several months. LiG-AuNPs thus represent a powerful tool for the targeted administration of lithium, enhancing its therapeutic effects in modulating GSK-3β. They have potential applications for treating illnesses depending on GSK-3β (hyper)activation, such as mood disorders, Alzheimer's disease, and viral infections.","PeriodicalId":114,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Materials","volume":"119 1","pages":"e13858"},"PeriodicalIF":29.4,"publicationDate":"2025-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145182769","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Beyond these applications, hydrogels are also gaining attention in environmental and energy-related technologies, including solar-driven desalination, catalysis, and energy generation and storage.
