Our recent research work has been selected as the Front Cover of the Inaugural Issue of Interdisciplinary Materials. Liquid gating membrane is a new kind of structural materials, response to an applied force as a pressure-driven system. To address the long-term high consumption caused by traditional “experimental trial method”, a machine learning algorithm is trained to effectively integrate material structure, composition and performance. This cover shows machine learning technology, offers a promising approach to exchange negligible machine resources for valuable researcher time, thus accelerating and optimizing the development of liquid gating technology.See details: Click here.

Our recent research work has been selected as the Inside Front Cover of Advanced Materials. Liquid-gating technology is attracting increasing attention for the delivery of some brand-new properties for real-world applications. In article number 2107327, we report a self-driven smart liquid-gating system, developed by designing a liquid-gating magnetoelastic porous membrane with reversible meniscus-shaped deformations. This system provides a universal and convenient way to realize active regulation of gas/liquid release. The illustrated visible gas/liquid-mixture content monitoring showcases one example of the application of the reported material.See details: Click here.
