Here we demonstrate nonreciprocal bending in a freestanding ferroelectric single‐crystalline PbTiO <jats:sub>3</jats:sub> membrane using suspended‐membrane nanoindentation. The mechanical bending of the ferroelectric membrane is strongly asymmetric in the two opposite bending directions with a difference in effective elastic modulus of up to 33%. The elastic recovery of bending deformation also becomes polarity‐dependent. Such unconventional nonreciprocal bending originates from the asymmetric ferroelectric domain switching driven by the crucial flexoelectricity, as revealed by phase‐field simulations. This work enriches the nonreciprocal functionalities of ferroelectrics and presents a route for exploring more nonreciprocal effects by flexoelectric engineering.","PeriodicalId":114,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Materials","volume":"47 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":29.4,"publicationDate":"2026-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149172719","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}

Despite notable advances in accelerating ion/electron transport, intrinsically reducing the large reaction kinetic barrier and activation energy associated with robust metal–chalcogen (M─S) bonds remains a long‐standing challenge. In this study, we propose a universal spin‐polarization‐engineered (SPE) antibonding‐orbital modulation paradigm to fundamentally regulate M─S bond strength and enable ultrahigh‐rate sodium storage. As a proof of concept, magnetic manganese heteroatom doping into heterojunctions enhances the saturation magnetization by ∼210%, inducing a spin‐state transition from low‐spin to high‐spin configurations, which increases the electron occupation of antibonding orbitals formed between metal <jats:italic>e</jats:italic> <jats:sub>g</jats:sub> orbitals and chalcogen p orbitals, and thereby regulates M─S bond strength.

Moreover, the industrial‐level pouch cell is assembled to demonstrate the practical potential of this strategy.","PeriodicalId":114,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Materials","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":29.4,"publicationDate":"2026-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149172722","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}

Yet mRNA delivery remains centered on intramuscular vaccination and intravenous administration, largely optimized for systemic adaptive immunity or circulation‐mediated biodistribution. Many localized diseases, however, are confined to tissues or compartments accessible by topical, transdermal, inhaled, oral, catheter‐based, ocular, or intra‐articular administration without initial reliance on circulation. For these diseases, the therapeutic objective is likewise local: therapeutically relevant mRNA expression occurs within the affected tissue, and efficacy derives predominantly from the local biological activity of the encoded protein rather than from downstream systemic effects initiated by local expression. This therapeutic paradigm is defined here as Anatomically Accessible Local mRNA Therapeutics (ALmT). The review first distinguishes ALmT from intravenous mRNA delivery and intramuscular mRNA vaccination, then organizes site‐specific barriers and engineering strategies across major anatomical sites. It further examines disease‐focused ALmT applications, highlighting protein restoration, cytokine or growth‐factor supplementation, local antibody‐fragment production, regenerative modulation, and tissue repair. Finally, it discusses general design principles, quantitative PK/PD evaluation, repeat‐dose safety, and clinical translation. Overall, the ALmT framework may facilitate the design, quantitative evaluation, and clinical translation of mRNA therapies for localized diseases.","PeriodicalId":114,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Materials","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":29.4,"publicationDate":"2026-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149172678","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}

Despite extensive efforts in facet engineering, achieving homogeneous Li deposition on practical polycrystalline Cu collectors remains elusive, highlighting an incomplete understanding of the structural factors governing Li deposition. Herein, a defect‐mediated interfacial engineering strategy is developed by simultaneously introducing a high density of geometrically necessary dislocations (GNDs) and enriched <110>/<111> textures on commercial electrodeposited Cu foils. Theoretical calculations and experiments reveal that densely distributed dislocations provide thermodynamically favorable Li adsorption sites and abundant preferential heterogeneous nucleation sites, while the enriched <110>/<111> textures promote Li surface diffusion and lateral growth. This combined effect promotes uniform and compact initial Li deposition, guiding path‐dependent deposition evolution and suppressing interfacial heterogeneity. The control experiments further support a key contribution of dislocation defects, while variations in surface chemistry or morphology alone cannot account for the observed performance differences.
