Electric-field control of ferromagnetism is demonstrated in a mechanically flexible solid-state system through a proton-induced redox reaction at room temperature. Protons transported through a perfluorosulfonic acid (PFSA) proton exchange membrane (PEM) trigger the reduction of CoO by reacting with lattice oxygen, which enables reversible switching between paramagnetic and ferromagnetic states starting at voltages below 10 V. The proton supply is sustained by ambient humidity and water splitting at a Pt thin film counter electrode. Due to its flexibility, the device architecture—a sandwich of CoO and Pt thin films integrated with the polymeric PEM—retains full magneto-ionic functionality under mechanical bending. Three CoO films, synthesized via reactive sputtering under varying conditions, are compared: amorphous, crystalline, and mixed-phase CoO/Co. While the amorphous film exhibits weak response, both the crystalline and mixed-phase films show pronounced electric-field-dependent magnetic switching, highlighting the critical role of microstructure in magneto-ionic performance.

Data-driven approaches are attracting wide attention in the field of materials science due to their capacity to unravel complex structure-activity relationships deriving from nonlinear interplay of materials properties across multiple scales. However, unlocking their potential in materials discovery and design requires addressing two main challenges: multi-disciplinary knowledge barriers across the entire materials data lifecycle (acquisition, processing, and analysis), and the absence of an infrastructure that can accommodate the continuous proliferation of data volume, algorithms, and models. Here, we propose a multirole collaborative and co-constructive materials design ecosystem that restructures both the productive forces and the relations of production in materials design. By establishing a structured division of labor and a customized materials design infrastructure with a workflow system that decouples control and data flows, our framework reduces inter-module dependencies and enables the flexible, scalable integration of heterogeneous resources. A case study on electrochemical storage materials design demonstrates that this approach can improve streamlined collaborative efficiency by at least 50%, highlighting its potential to accelerate materials design. This work establishes a new paradigm for building intelligent materials design platforms, characterized by dynamic composability instead of static integration, thereby fostering an open and sustainable ecosystem for future materials discovery.

Over the past decade, the field of high-entropy ceramics (HECs) has expanded rapidly to encompass a broad range of oxides, borides, silicides, and other ceramic solid solutions. In 2020, we proposed extending HECs to compositionally complex ceramics (CCCs), where non-equimolar compositions and the presence of long- or short-range order, although reducing configurational entropy, create new opportunities to tailor and enhance properties, often surpassing those of higher-entropy counterparts. Along these lines, several fundamental scientific questions arise. Is the entropy in HECs truly high? Is maximizing entropy always desirable? In this perspective article, I revisit key concepts and terminologies and highlight emerging directions, including dual-phase CCCs, ultrahigh-entropy phases, and novel processing routes such as ultrafast reactive sintering. I propose that exploring compositional complexity across vast non-equimolar spaces, together with exploiting correlated disorder (coupled chemical and structural short-range order), represents a transformative strategy for designing ceramics with superior performance.
