TL;DR: The MAX phases are a group of layered ternary compounds with the general formula Mn+1AXn (M: early transition metal; A: group A element; X: C and/or N; n = 1-3), which combine some properties of metals such as good electrical and thermal conductivity, machinability, low hardness, thermal shock resistance and damage tolerance, with those of ceramics, such as high elastic moduli, high temperature strength, and oxidation and corrosion resistance as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: This review is structured to give a comprehensive overview of adhesive hydrogels starting with the fundamental challenges of underwater adhesion, followed by synthetic approaches and fabrication techniques, as well as characterization methods, and their practical applications in tissue repair and regeneration, antifouling and antimicrobial applications, drug delivery, and cell encapsulation and delivery.

TL;DR: In this article, a review summarizes the material design and synthetic approach of ECHs, demonstrating the advances of percolation theory in ECH materials, and subsequently presents their effective application in flexible energy storage systems and discusses the challenges and opportunities in this field.
