Next‐generation thermal control and shielding blankets for space vehicles are demonstrated by E. H. T. Teo and co‐workers using 3D graphene‐reinforced polyimide hybrids. The hybrid is space qualified and achieves outstanding thermal and electrical characteristics, exceeding nominal values by 1033% and 10 orders of magnitude, respectively. Its long‐term stability in space is extensively tested through ageing and mechanical deformation studies, in a ground‐based simulated space environment. On page 6425, this hybrid material is shown to provide excellent electrostatic discharge shielding protection with long‐term stability in harsh environments. Artwork by S. H. Tsang.

A facile and controlled route is reported to fabricate well‐defined core–shell polymer nanoarchitectures with tunable dimensions and high homogeneity. On page 6435, N. Visaveliya and J. M. Köhler describe a single‐step microfluidic‐assisted process, and demonstrate by a wide range of experimental results how these nanoassembled particles with tunable surface topology can be used for various optical applications such as fluorescence, LSPR, and SERS.

The control of exciton and triondynamics in bilayer MoS2 is demonstrated, via the comodulations by both temperature and electric field. The calculations here show that the band structure of bilayer MoS2 changes from indirect at room temperature toward direct nature as temperature decreases, which enables the electrical tunability of the K–K direct PL transition in bilayer MoS2 at low temperature.

A microfluidics‐based method for the 3D fabrication of anisotropic particles is reported. The method uses a vertical microchannel where tunable light patterns solidify photocurable resins for stacking multiple layers of the resins, thus enabling an application of stereolithography concepts to conventional flow lithography. Multilayered, tapered, and angular compartmental microparticles are demonstrated.

Soft conductors are created by embedding liquid metal nanoparticles between two elastomeric sheets. Initially, the particles form an electrically insulating composite. Soft circuit boards can be handwritten by a stylus, which sinters the particles into conductive traces by applying localized mechanical pressure to the elastomeric sheets. Antennas with tunable frequencies are formed by sintering nanoparticles in microchannels.
