These capabilities arise from the collective action of biomolecular machines continuously converting photoenergy or chemical energy into mechanical energy. Constructing similar dynamic processes in vitro presents opportunities for developing life-like intelligent soft materials. Here we report an active fluid formed from the liquid–liquid phase separation of photoresponsive DNA nanomachines. The photofluids can orchestrate and amplify nanoscale mechanical movements by orders of magnitude to produce macroscopic cell-like behaviours including elongation, division and rotation. We identify two dissipative processes in the DNA droplets, photoalignment and photofibrillation, which are crucial for harnessing stochastic molecular motions cooperatively. Our results demonstrate an active liquid molecular system that consumes photoenergy to create ordered out-of-equilibrium structures and behaviours. This system may help elucidate the physical principles underlying cooperative motion in active matter and pave the way for developing programmable interactive materials.</p>","PeriodicalId":19058,"journal":{"name":"Nature Materials","volume":"96 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":41.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143805626","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}

However, the energy density of relaxor ferroelectrics is fundamentally limited by early polarization saturation and largely reduced polarization despite high dielectric constants. To overcome this challenge, here we report the formation of a high-entropy superparaelectric phase in relaxor ferroelectric polymers induced by low-dose proton irradiation, which exhibits delayed polarization saturation, reduced ferroelectric loss and markedly improved polarizability. Our combined theoretical and experimental results reveal that new chemical bonds generated by the irradiation-induced chemical reactions are essential to the formation of the high-entropy state in ferroelectric polymers. The high-entropy superparaelectric phase endows the polymer with a substantially enhanced intrinsic energy density of 45.7 J cm<sup>–3</sup> at room temperature, outperforming the current ferroelectric polymers and nanocomposites under the same electric field.

However, existing delivery systems are still inefficient in delivering drugs in a biorhythm-mimicking fashion. Here we describe a biorhythm-inspired growth hormone transdermal microneedle patch with multistage drug release that mimics the natural rhythm of human growth hormone secretion at night. Programmed drug release is achieved by combining a ‘burst-release’ module with several ‘delayed-release’ modules. Compared with the subcutaneous daily injections currently used in clinics, the patch exhibits enhanced efficacy in terms of longitudinal bone growth and bone quality, leading to bone length increases of ~10 mm and ~5 mm in healthy rats and growth hormone gene knockout mice, respectively. Our findings reveal that the biorhythm-mimicking release pattern significantly enhances growth hormone bioavailability and effectively regulates the growth-related biological process, thus boosting the secretion of insulin-like growth factor-1 and ultimately promoting bone growth.</p>","PeriodicalId":19058,"journal":{"name":"Nature Materials","volume":"536 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":41.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143766997","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}
