The incidence of tissue and organ damage caused by various diseases is increasing worldwide. Tissue engineering is a promising strategy of tackling this problem because of its potential to regenerate or replace damaged tissues and organs. The biochemical and biophysical cues of biomaterials can stimulate and induce biological activities such as cell adhesion, proliferation and differentiation, and ultimately achieve tissue repair and regeneration. Micro/nano materials are a special type of biomaterial that can mimic the microstructure of tissues on a microscopic scale due to its precise construction, further providing scaffolds with specific three-dimensional structures to guide the activities of cells. The study and application of biomimetic micro/nano-materials have greatly promoted the development of tissue engineering. This review aims to provide an overview of the different types of micro/nanomaterials, their preparation methods and their application in tissue regeneration.

Advanced aerogels hold immense potential in thermal insulation. However, achieving high environmental adaptability aerogel insulators with elasticity, hydrophobicity, flame-retardancy, and low temperature tolerance remains a significant challenge. Inspired by a "brick-mortar-binder" biomimetic texture, a layered double hydroxide/carboxylated cellulose nanofibers/Si-O-Si (LCS) hybrid aerogel is developed by bottom-up freeze-drying.

Flexible optoelectronics have fully demonstrated their transformative roles in various fields, but their fabrication and application have been limited by complex processes. Liquid metals (LMs) are promising to be ideal raw materials for making flexible optoelectronics due to their extraordinary fluidity and printability. Herein, we propose a painting-modifying strategy based on solution processability for directly printing out fluorescent flexible optoelectronics from LMs via surface modification.

Stretchable self-powered sensors are of significant interest in next-generation wearable electronics. However, current strategies for creating stretchable piezoelectric sensors based on piezoelectric polymers or 0-3 piezoelectric composites face several challenges such as low piezoelectric activity, low sensitivity, and poor durability. In this paper, a biomimetic soft-rigid hybrid strategy is used to construct a new form of highly flexible, high-performance, and stretchable piezoelectric sensor.

Trinitarian designs in the morphology, components, and microstructure remain challenging for advanced electromagnetic wave absorption (EMWA) materials with light weight, strong absorption, and well-defined structure-function relationships. Herein, a series of X-doped MoS/CuS with multilevel honeycomb structures (X-MoS/CuS MHs, X = P, Si, Ge) were designed by space-confined growth and in situ sulfidation of a polyoxometalate-based metal-organic framework. X-MoS/CuS MHs possess low density, high surface area, and abundant cation-cuprum and anion-sulfur double vacancies ( and ) simultaneously that are unmatched by conventional EMWA materials.

Artificial cells are constructed from synthetic materials to imitate the biological functions of natural cells. By virtue of nanoengineering techniques, artificial cells with designed biomimetic functions provide alternatives to natural cells, showing vast potential for biomedical applications. Especially in cancer treatment, the deficiency of immunoactive macrophages results in tumor progression and immune resistance.
