Abstract Bacterial infections, especially caused by multidrug‐resistant bacteria, pose a big challenge to the healthcare system. As group of historic agents, metals with broad‐spectrum antibacterial activity are regarded as promising alternatives tackle antibiotic resistance. Among them, gallium ions have presented encouraging effects in research and preclinic studies. However, utilization has difficulty achieving high targeting long‐term effectiveness. With renaissance liquid metal, here, novel facile nanostructure is proposed which polydopamine‐modified nanocore serves an ion reservoir for enhanced metal release surface also permits secondary reaction, allowing situ formation Ag nanoparticles improve property, ROS generation, photothermal performance. Notably, ≈100% bacterial killing efficacy can be achieved when combined NIR laser irradiation. The vivo treatment results methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)‐infected mice demonstrate that microneedle patch loaded exhibits outstanding elimination inflammation alleviation, promotes angiogenesis collagen deposition, further accelerating wound healing. This gallium‐based offers effective nanoplatform treatments combinatory strategies, holds significant promise refractory bacteria related infections.

Abstract Room‐temperature liquid metals (RTLMs) exhibit inherent fluidity, metallic conductivity, remarkable stability, and recyclability, which indicate significant potential for applications in improving the efficiency of electronics recycling reducing costs. However, low viscosity RTLMs their poor interfacial adhesion to substrates typically necessitate utilization intricate fabrication processes. Here, a viscosity‐tunable, photothermal repairable, full‐component recyclable eutectic gallium–indium/epoxy‐modified lignin/polyethylene glycol diacid/ethylene vitrimer (EGaIn‐LPEv) is presented printed circuits. The system displays good stability tunable at room temperature because ultra‐high reactive site content modified lignin dual dynamic bonding by introduction ethylene glycol. EGaIn‐LPEv‐based circuit exhibits high resolution full component recovery up 7.6 µm 98.3 wt.%, respectively. As principal component, not only enhances system's green credentials but also endows it with an efficient repairable capability. reconnection damaged can be achieved 15 s through 808 nm infrared activation. This study opens new avenue development manufacturing processes sustainable application advanced, high‐resolution, fully recycled electronic devices.

Abstract Bone implant materials are essential for treating bone defects in clinical, however, current options face challenges minimally invasive implantation, precise situ molding, and long surgical times with large incisions. To address these drawbacks, the newly‐emerging low‐melting‐point bismuth‐based alloys as injectable implants, combined clinically applied polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) cement proposed here to innovatively design multifunctional bismuth‐PMMA composites (BPCs) effective repair. The as‐prepared BPCs offer excellent injectability, enhanced mechanical properties (≈252% increase compressive strength), favorable magnetothermal effects, enabling invasive, molding via easygoing injection orthopedic surgeries. introduction of PMMA significantly improves strength while maintaining injectability bismuth alloys, reduces exothermic heat during curing prevent thermal damage tissue. In vivo experiments demonstrate that under an alternating magnetic field, exhibit outstanding tumor cell killing capability inhibit osteosarcoma growth through efficient hyperthermia. Further, long‐term implantation results coupled histological analysis display stable filling evident regeneration, attributed collaborative efficacy BPC mild therapy. This study promises revolutionize repair provide a versatile strategy 3D‐printed orthopedics future.
