Announcement
New paper on 1/1/2025!
I’m thrilled to share that our recent paper has been published in Science Advances! 🎉 In this work, we introduce a groundbreaking material: a transparent, conductive, self-healing magnetic rubber. By combining a magnetic ionic liquid with a polymer, we effectively confine the magnetic anion within the polymer matrix, paving the way for innovative applications.
Congratulations to Zhang Xuan and team!
