A key challenge in transdermal delivery is maintaining consistent performance under dynamic conditions created by everyday user activities, such as skin bending, stretching, and movement. Addressing these real-world conditions is essential for both reliable drug delivery and user convenience. The bioinspired suction-activated nanofiber patch developed in this study achieves robust skin adhesion and consistent, enhanced transdermal delivery even under dynamic skin environments. By combining strong interfacial stability with user-friendly applications, this platform highlights a promising new direction for next-generation transdermal drug delivery systems.

High-entropy ceramics (HECs), enabled by their high-entropy design concept, have demonstrated breakthrough potential in tribology. An invited review published in Journal of Advanced Ceramics systematically evaluates the tribological performance of six major HEC families—carbides, borides, silicides, oxides, nitrides, and MAX phases—revealing significantly enhanced wear resistance and adaptive self-lubrication compared with conventional ceramics. However, the field faces critical bottlenecks including a lack of standardized tribological data, insufficient mechanistic understanding of the high-entropy effect, and high synthesis costs. Future efforts in data-driven design, multi-scale modeling, and cost-effective manufacturing will accelerate the transition of HECs from laboratory research to industrial applications in extreme environments such as aerospace and advanced manufacturing.

Metal halide perovskites (e.g., CsPbBr₃) have emerged as highly promising scintillator materials owing to their superior optoelectronic characteristics. However, their practical deployment is constrained by intrinsic structural instability and nonradiative recombination-induced energy loss. Herein, they show that Ni²⁺ doping constitutes a potent regulatory strategy for synergistically improving the scintillation performance and environmental robustness of CsPbBr₃ perovskite. Various characterizations combined with threotecial calculation indicate that the incorporation of Ni²⁺ dopants triggers lattice contraction, thereby enhancing the resistance to environmental perturbations. Ni-doping also passivates intrinsic defects and traps, leading to marked suppression of nonradiative recombination pathways. This synergy in as-prepared Ni-doped CsPbBr₃ leads to an 11-fold enhancement in photoluminescence intensity and a substantial increase in photoluminescence quantum yield from 56.0% to 93.7%. Notably, it delivers an exceptional light yield of 38428.5 photons MeV⁻¹, a low detection limit of 64.9 nGyₐᵢᵣ s⁻¹, and superior radiation tolerance. Furthermore, a flexible scintillation screen containing Ni-doped CsPbBr₃ enables high-resolution X-ray imaging with a spatial resolution of 16.6 lp mm⁻¹, notably surpassing that of the majority of reported perovskite-based scintillators. This study provides profound insights into the pivotal role of metal doping into halide perovskites for enhancing environmental stability in radiation detection technologies.

We demonstrated a facile FJH strategy to achieve the controlled synthesis of atomically dispersed Cu species via ultrafast heating-cooling process. By systematically regulating the pulse parameters, we successfully anchored isolated Cu species with a well-defined local coordination environment. The optimized photocatalyst exhibits an approximately 10-fold enhancement in photocatalytic CO evolution under simulated solar irradiation, offering a promising new pathway for clean fuel production and carbon capture
