Over the past decade, by leveraging electrons as carriers of spin, charge, and heat, these features have enabled the discovery of a family of tunnel related phenomena: tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR), tunnel magneto-Seebeck (TMS), tunnel magnetodielectric (TMD), and most recently tunnel magneto-optical (TMO) effects. Their structural features allow for tuning of granular size, distribution, and intergranular spacing, positioning these materials as promising candidates for miniaturized magnetic field sensors, antennas, microwave devices, and spintronic components.","PeriodicalId":72040,"journal":{"name":"Accounts of materials research","volume":"183 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144237478","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Large bone defects have always been a clinical challenge because of their complicated composition and structure, which makes them difficult to repair on their own. Currently, clinical operations employ primarily autologous, allogeneic, and synthetic bone grafting methods, which are still limited by factors such as donor scarcity, complications from infections, and market acceptance. Thus, novel biomimetic artificial bone tissue engineering scaffolds can be created by designing and regulating the composition and structure of materials, drawing inspiration from the intrinsic properties of genuine bone tissue. The combined application of bioactive substances and biomaterials in bone repair has achieved multiple satisfactory clinical outcomes. In this Account, based on the principles of bionic tissue engineering, we constructed various bone repair scaffolds through multidimensional approaches and systematically evaluated their capabilities in vascular regeneration, nerve ingrowth, and osteogenesis. The technological development of scaffolds demonstrated a distinct progressive relationship: The initial stage focused on the bionics of natural bone tissue’s matrix and structure; the advanced stage integrated bioactive components like BMP2 to achieve functional osteoinduction; the deepening stage introduced piezoelectric signals to directly regulate the osteogenic function of scaffolds, while simultaneously controlling angiogenesis and nerve ingrowth to indirectly promote bone repair and regeneration. Ultimately, an innovative bone repair paradigm based on “Piezoelectric Network Theory” was proposed. Extracellular matrix (ECM) engineered scaffolds were reconstructed to provide endogenous effects through surface morphology modulation and bioactive component modification. The synergistic responses between endogenous effect and exogenous physical stimulation achieve rapid repair of a variety of large segmental bone defects in various areas. This advancement will establish new theoretical foundations for functional bone reconstruction and significantly enhance the treatment efficacy for large segmental bone defects.","PeriodicalId":72040,"journal":{"name":"Accounts of materials research","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144210993","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As such, its use is essential for any society aiming to create healthy, comfortable, safe and secure living and working environments. However, these benefits come at a price; Portland cement production accounts for ≈8% of the total anthropogenic CO<sub>2</sub> emissions. If cement fabrication was considered a country, it would rank as the third largest emitter, after China and the United States. Consequently, reducing the CO<sub>2</sub> footprint of the construction industry is a societal need. Numerous low-carbon cement alternatives have been proposed, primarily involving the partial substitution of Portland clinker with materials that possess much lower CO<sub>2</sub> footprints. However, these cements have not been widely adopted because they exhibit reduced mechanical strength at 1 day of hydration, failing to meet current practices for formwork stripping. Therefore, a primary objective is to elucidate the mechanisms of early age cement hydration to accelerate their hydration rates.","PeriodicalId":72040,"journal":{"name":"Accounts of materials research","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144177270","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, significant disparities in properties, such as mechanical modulus and water content, between tissues and electronics, present a key challenge in bioelectronics, leading to biointerface mismatches that severely impact their performance and long-term stability. Organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs), fabricated with soft, hydrophilic organic semiconductors, offer unique advantages, including low operating voltage, high transconductance, and compatibility with aqueous environments. These attributes position OECTs as promising candidates for ideal biointerfaces. As neural probes, OECTs have demonstrated superior biocompatibility and signal detection capabilities compared to conventional metal electrodes and inorganic semiconductors. Despite these advantages, the applications of OECT as biointerfaces remain constrained by several limitations, including limited performance, poor stability, mismatches among p-type, n-type, and ambipolar semiconductors, relatively high Young’s modulus, and unsatisfactory biointerfacial properties.","PeriodicalId":72040,"journal":{"name":"Accounts of materials research","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144165743","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
