Nanofiber is the critical building block for many biological systems to perform various functions. Artificial assembly of molecules into nanofibers in a controllable and reversible manner will create "smart" functions to mimic those of their natural analogues and fabricate new functional materials, but remains an open challenge especially for nature macromolecules. Herein, the controllable and reversible assembly of nanofiber (CSNF) from natural macromolecules with oppositely charged groups are successfully realized by protonation and deprotonation of charged groups.

- Ultralight and compressible carbon materials have significant potential for applications in detecting strain and pressure, but creating optimal materials with desired properties remains challenging.
- A new method for producing reduced graphene oxide (rGO)-based lamellar carbon aerogels has been developed, enhancing structural interactions and resulting in a supercompressible and flexible material.
- The resulting carbon aerogel achieves impressive performance metrics, including a 99% compressibility, maintained elasticity through 10,000 cycles, and an ultrasensitive detection capability for minor changes in strain and pressure, making it suitable for wearable device applications.
