High-performance wearable strain sensors must be deformable, sensitive, and durable—a challenging combination. Thanks to its design, this sensor does all three: the electrical channel detects small strains, the ionogel layer reacts to shape changes, and the sensor remains reliable for over 5000 cycles Check this out: https://ow.ly/UQ4x50WWCJ5

Bringing 3D printing into focus 🎥💥 The demand for miniaturization in fields like micro-optics and microfluidics is rising fast, but existing fabrication methods remain costly, complex, and limited in precision. Even advanced printing methods often struggle to reach sub-10 μm features without expensive hardware. A new study introduces a microlens self-focusing technique that changes this. By integrating digital light processing (DLP) 3D printing with an optical microscope, researchers fabricated microlenses that focus light with millisecond exposures, enabling feature sizes below 4 μm without system modifications. They also demonstrated composite fabrication by printing tetrahedral magnetic microrobots capable of motion under magnetic fields. This strategy could redefine high-precision micro/nano manufacturing, bridging the gap between resolution, scalability, and cost for applications from biomedical devices to microrobotics.

🧠✨ Printing pathways to spinal cord healing ✨🧠 Researchers have developed 3D-printed scaffolds loaded with human stem-cell–derived spinal neural progenitor cells (sNPCs). These tiny scaffolds have microscale channels that guide cell growth like highways, helping neurons connect and form networks that mimic real spinal cord tissue. When transplanted into injured spinal cords, these scaffolds directed axon growth & improved cell maturation. They also formed functional neural circuits, which significantly boosted motor recovery. This approach could pave the way for a transformative therapy for spinal cord injury - combining stem cells + organoids + 3D printing into one solution for neural repair.

A major leap forward for 3D printing: programmable strength in a single print 🐸 Researchers have advanced grayscale digital light processing (g-DLP) by combining a dynamic bond-controlled polyurethane acrylate resin with machine learning optimisation. This creates materials with precisely tuned stiffness within a single print. Their wide elastic modulus range with superior damping for shock absorption achieves a major reduction in strain concentrations and therefore delays crack initiation. This versatile platform can produce mechanically robust gradient structures for applications like biomimetic artificial cartilage or advanced mechanical components for aerospace, robotics, and more. #3DPrinting #AdditiveManufacturing #MachineLearning Find out more: https://ow.ly/rUBr50WFlgV

An Unexpected Finding 🦠 While most research is rationally designed and rigorously tested, Eijiro Miyako and team from Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology had an unexpected finding that a mixture of Proteus mirabilis (PM) and Rhodopseudomonas palustris (RP) bacteria at a very particular ratio of 3:97 did not only colonize tumors, but also displays outstanding tumor regression capability! The story would not have been revealed if Chen-Xi Li from Xinjiang Medical University Affiliated First Hospital did not challenge the study. Indeed, subsequent findings by the Miyako team suggested that oncolytic bacteria operate independent of cytotoxic immune cell infiltration, which is clinically essential to immunocompromised cancer patients. The PM bacteria is notorious for its biofilm formation during urinary tract infection. However, researchers used it to our advantage and produced a powerful tool to treat cancer. Nevertheless, there are more questions to be addressed, such as the safety of the approach including the homing of the bacteria. So, the research goes on. #AdvancedScience #CancerImmunotherapy #OncolyticBacteria Original Article: https://ow.ly/m34w50WF4fz Comment on the Original Article: https://ow.ly/bfQo50WF4gl Response to Comment on the Original Article: https://ow.ly/4Y4y50WF4gI

Your ear has secret sound highways - and scientists just mapped them in 3D! 🎧 Using an ultra-fast upgrade to Small Angle X-ray Scattering Tensor Tomography, researchers recorded the microscopic collagen and mineral structures inside the human incus bone, one of your middle-ear sound conductors. They found three distinct, highly oriented fibril bundles. These 3D "sound highways" likely guide vibrations through the ear for efficient hearing.

Thank you to everyone who joined our first Advanced Portfolio workshop on July 31st for an unforgettable, interactive afternoon at the scenic Edgewater Hotel in Madison, Wisconsin.   The event was brimming with great insights, energy, and participation from our engaged audience of area researchers. In total, our workshop attendees represented nearly 20 different academic departments across the life and health sciences.   We were thrilled to have Dr. Lei Lei, Deputy Editor of Advanced Science, on site as our workshop host. Taking a deep dive into research publishing best-practices, Lei covered:   ✅ What makes a research paper stand out ✅ Finding the right journal for your work ✅ Open Access publishing and its growing importance ✅ How AI can be leveraged properly within the publishing workflow   And the conversation didn’t stop there. At our following Q&A session, attendees engaged in thoughtful discussion on navigating publishing challenges, collaborating with editors, and shaping research for broader impact.   We then ended the day lakeside, with a well-earned happy hour featuring stunning views of Lake Mendota. 🥂   Whether you came for the insights, the networking, or the sliders, we’re truly grateful to have spent the day with such a passionate, friendly community of researchers. Where should we head next?   📸 Explore some photos below from the event!   #AdvancedPortfolio #ResearchCommunity #OpenAccess #LifeSciences #AdvanceYourCareer #EarlyCareerResearchers
