  • Materials with in situ reversible wettability have attractive properties for switching applications, but are a challenge to use especially for the inverse process of liquid spreading. Here, the authors propose an electrochemical strategy enabling in situ reversible superwetting conversion between underwater superoleophilicity and superoleophobicity by constructing a binary textured surface.

  • Creating durable, motion-compliant neural interfaces is essential for accessing dynamic tissues in vivo and linking neural activity with behaviors. Here, the authors introduce carbon nanotube-enhanced polyvinyl alcohol hydrogels, creating electrically anisotropic, fatigue-resistant fibers for long-term intraspinal electrophysiological recordings in mice.

  • Soft elastic materials could be useful in the fabrication of brain-machine interfaces, but achieving the desirable material properties can be challenging. Here, the authors report control of the amorphous-crystalline transition of polymers to alter hydrogel properties and monitor mouse behaviour.

  • Hsp110 chaperones play important roles in protein homeostasis in eukaryotes. Here, the authors identify a small compound that inhibits fungal Hsp110s as well as the growth and viability of the pathogenic fungus Candida albicans, supporting Hsp110s as targets for development of new antifungal drugs.

  • Highly efficient liquid transfer is realized using an open radial glass fibers array bio-inspired by the dandelion pappus. The highly adhesive property and the elastic nature of the fiber, together with the large open angle between the fibers, endow the open radial fibers array the ability to encapsulate huge amount of water.

  • When brushes are removed from an ink bath, they sometimes show unwanted droplets, which may accidentally drop on surfaces. Our theory predicts that Chinese calligraphic brushes eliminate the unwanted droplets by closing their ends. The ends of the brushes are closed when the length L of their fibers is longer than a critical length Lclo. This principle may be applicable to the design of liquid-transfer devices.
