Themed collection Materials Horizons 10th anniversary cover articles

The structure of this review includes applications of MXenes in drug delivery, tissue engineering, antimicrobial, and in biosensors.

This study presents next-generation biometric “metainterface” enabling programmable mechanical, thermal, and active interfacial effects for intelligent materials and systems with highly engineerable interfacial properties.

Dopants with high charge density and structural complexity, combined with balanced operating conditions, can significantly enhance the performance and stability of a full-polymer ECDI system.

The multifunctional fluorescent probe PTZ enables investigation of the LDs and lysosome interaction from both phase transition and polarity perspectives, and the homogeneous transition of LDs and lysosomes during lipophagy was discovered.

We introduce an advanced multi-task deep learning framework, designed to predict the evolution of stress fields and the crack propagation across both time and space.

We introduce a novel deep learning-based inverse design framework with data augmentation for chiral mechanical metamaterials with a Bézier curve-shaped bi-material rib realizing a wide range of negative thermal expansion and negative Poisson's ratio.

This research demonstrates an OTS-based temperature-sensing afferent neuron that features low power consumption and a compact circuit structure.

A dual-responsive microemulsion capable of providing macroscale superlubrication in a broad temperature range and switching its coefficient of friction by ∼25 fold is reported. It also shows ultrahigh colloidal stability and anti-freezing properties.

With only a specific small amount of loss, perfect absorption of elastic waves can be achieved by a compact NHMG composed of only a single type of unit cell, enabling cloaking for arbitrary-shaped targets.
