Advancing from MOFs and COFs to Functional Macroscopic Porous Constructs

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This review study investigates the recent progress and methodologies for manufacturing metal–organic framework (MOF) or covalent–organic framework (COF)‐based 3D structured macroscopic porous constructs with high structural integrity, providing the possibility to control their porosity across dimensions.

The Promise of Solid Lubricants for a Sustainable Future

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Lubricants are vital for technology, saving energy and resources. The industry seeks sustainable solutions beyond fossil fuels. Solid lubricants offer extremely low friction and reduce environmental impact, especially in harsh conditions. Can these solids truly replace liquid lubricants, or are they limited to extreme applications?

Microbubble Shell Stiffness Engineering Enhances Ultrasound Imaging, Drug Delivery, and Sonoporation

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
 Shell‐engineered poly(alkyl cyanoacrylate) microbubbles with tunable stiffness improve ultrasound imaging and therapy. Adjusting the length of the alkyl chain and the glass transition temperature maintains a narrow microbubble size distribution while enhancing drug loading, sonoporation and the acoustic response.

Quasi‐Solid Cathode Additive Enables Highly Reversible Four‐Electron I−/I0/I+ Conversion in Aqueous Zn‐I2 Batteries

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A quasi‐solid BMICl/CNTs additive addresses dual challenges in four‐electron zinc‐iodine batteries (4eZIBs). It suppresses polyiodide shuttling via bonding in the I−/I0 step and enhances I+ kinetics while curbing hydrolysis via Cl− immobilization and BMI‐ICl2 complex formation in the I0/I+ step.

THE DECLINE (AND REVIVAL?) OF BLACK FARMERS AND RURAL LANDOWNERS: A REVIEW OF THE RESEARCH LITERATURE [PDF]

African-Americans as a group went from owning almost no land in the United States after the Civil War to peaking at 15 million acres by 1920. In that year, 14% of all US farmers were black. Of these 926,000 black farmers, all but 10,000 were in the South.
