Yet, the germanium-based halide perovskites to date lack desirable light-emitting properties, with so far only very broad, weak, and unstructured photoluminescence (PL) reported due to significant octahedral distortion. Here, the photophysical properties of the 2D layered Ruddlesden-Popper semiconductors (4F-PMA)<sub>2</sub>GeI<sub>4</sub> and (4F-PMA)<sub>2</sub>PbI<sub>4</sub> (4F-PMA: 4-F-phenylmethylammonium) are characterized and compared. Using a combination of single-crystal X-ray diffraction, variable temperature time-resolved PL, and density functional theory, structure-property relations are correlated. Specifically, the results indicate that (4F-PMA)<sub>2</sub>PbI<sub>4</sub> features stronger coupling to longitudinal optical (LO) phonons, assisting emission from a broad bound-exciton state due to a soft, deformable lattice. In contrast, (4F-PMA)<sub>2</sub>GeI<sub>4</sub>, benefitting from intermolecular bonding to scaffold a rigid octahedral structure, shows weaker LO-phonon coupling, resulting in the longest PL lifetime and most narrow linewidth (≈120 meV linewidth at 2 K) reported for a Ge-halide perovskite yet, without the occurrence of any additional bound-state emission at low temperatures. These results highlight the potential of germanium halide perovskite materials for optoelectronic applications.","PeriodicalId":114,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Materials","volume":"42 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":29.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143880298","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}

This study introduces a heterophilically designed carbon nanotube (CNT) yarn with an asymmetric configuration. This yarn is capable of both electrical and mechanical torsional energy harvesting through dual-scale hydration. Fabricated via half-electrochemical oxidation, the yarn contains a hydrophilic region enriched with oxygen-containing functional groups and a hydrophobic pristine CNT region. Molecular-scale hydration triggers proton release in the hydrophilic region. Consequently, a concentration gradient is established that generates a peak open-circuit voltage of 106.0 mV and a short-circuit current of 20.6 mA cm<sup>−2</sup>. Simultaneously, microscale hydration induces water absorption into inter-bundle microchannels, resulting in considerable yarn volume expansion. This process leads to hydro-driven actuation with a torsional stroke of 78.8° mm<sup>−1</sup> and a maximum rotational speed of 1012 RPM. The presented simultaneous harvesting results in electrical and mechanical power densities of 3.5 mW m<sup>−2</sup> and 34.3 W kg<sup>−1</sup>, respectively, during a hydration cycle. By integrating molecular and microscale hydrations, the proposed heterophilic CNT yarns establish an unprecedented platform for simultaneous electrical and mechanical energy harvesting from water, representing a groundbreaking development for sustainable applications.","PeriodicalId":114,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Materials","volume":"91 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":29.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143880250","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}

To address this issue, luminescent liquid crystalline elastomers (LLCEs) with remarkable flexibility and minimal optical loss through one-pot synthetic method is synthesized, marking the first example of such an approach. The resultant organic optical waveguide materials (OOWMs) demonstrate exceptional mechanical performance and low optical loss, even under significant deformation. An optical loss coefficient of 0.0375 dB mm<sup>−1</sup> has been achieved in LLCE-based OOWMs through synergistic Förster resonance energy transfer. Additionally, these flexible OOWMs can endure large deformations and be shaped into arbitrary forms within macro-scale dimensions. Notably, LLCE-based OOWMs demonstrate smart, self-adaptive behavior with ultra-low optical loss when exposed to heat or light. Consequently, these OOWMs can be used to fabricate photo switches of various shapes.

Lithographic fabrication techniques provide scalable thin-film flexible electronics, but traditional electronic materials often fail to meet the unique requirements of BCIs. This review examines the selection of materials and device design for flexible BCIs, starting with an analysis of intrinsic material properties—Young's modulus, electrical conductivity and dielectric constant. It then explores the integration of material selection with electrode design to optimize electrical circuits and assess key mechanical factors. Next, the correlation between electrical and mechanical performance is analyzed to guide material selection and device design. Finally, recent advances in neural probes are reviewed, highlighting improvements in signal quality, recording stability, and scalability.

Radiotherapy (RT) plays a crucial role, especially in treating locally recurrent rectal cancer and preserving anal function. However, its effectiveness is often limited by tumor hypoxia, particularly prevalent in hypoxic regions near the bowel wall in colorectal cancer. Hypoxia contributes to both radiation resistance and apoptosis resistance, compromising RT outcomes. To overcome hypoxia‐driven radiotherapy resistance, this work designs and engineers a radiotherapy‐sensitizing bioplatform for efficient cancer RT. It combines lanthanum oxide nanoparticles (La<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>O<jats:sub>3</jats:sub> NPs) with cyanobacteria, which produces oxygen through photosynthesis. This bioplatform uniquely reduces tumor hypoxia, enhances radiation deposition, and improves RT efficacy.

The further integrated thermosensitive hydrogels ensure precise localization of the bioplatform, reducing systemic toxicity and improving therapeutic specificity. Compared to conventional therapies, this dual‐action system addresses hypoxia, RT resistance, and apoptosis resistance more effectively. In vivo and in vitro hypoxia models validate its potent anti‐tumor efficacy, offering valuable insights for refining clinical treatment paradigms.","PeriodicalId":114,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Materials","volume":"130 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":29.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143875843","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}

First, a library of ginsenosides are collected, and then screened according to their anti‐tumor immunity. Then, ginsenoside‐Rg3 based‐LNPs loaded with antigens (Rg3‐LNPs) are identified as the optimal formulation by investigating the physicochemical and biological properties.

However, dynamic switching between groove and ridge nanostructures at the molecular level has not been demonstrated. Herein, materials capable of dynamic groove‐ridge switching at tens‐of‐nanometers scale are developed by flexibly conjugating RGD‐magnetically activatable nanoridges (MANs) to non‐magnetic nanogrooves with independently tuned widths comparable to the sizes of integrin‐presenting filopodia by modulating hydrophobicity in bicontinuous microemulsion, allowing for cyclic modulation of RGD accessibility and cellular adhesion. Nanogrooves with medium width restrict RGD accessibility in the “groove” state in which the RGD‐MANs are buried, which is reversed by magnetically raising them to protrude and form the “ridge” state that fully exposes the RGDs. This reversibly stimulates integrin recruitment, focal adhesion complex assembly, mechanotransduction, and differentiation of stem cells in vivo. This is the first demonstration of molecular‐level groove and ridge nanostructures that exhibit unprecedented switchability between groove and ridge nanostructures. Versatile tuning of the width, height, pitch, and shape of intricate nanogroove structures with remote manipulability can enlighten the understanding of molecular‐scale cell–ligand interactions for stem cell engineering‐based treatment of aging, injuries, and stress‐related diseases.","PeriodicalId":114,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Materials","volume":"41 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":29.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143876119","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}
