Evidence of a chimpanzee-sized ancestor of humans but a gibbon-sized ancestor of apes
Nature Communications, 2017 The pattern of body size evolution in hominids can provide insight into historical human ecology. Here, Grabowski and Jungers use comparative phylogenetic analysis to reconstruct the likely size of the ancestor of humans and chimpanzees and the ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Ferroelectric nematic liquid crystals (FNLCs) offer fast, tunable polarization and low‐voltage operation but suffer from poor polarization retention at zero field. Semiconductor‐modified FNLCs enhance polarization retention and exhibit short‐ and long‐term electro‐optical responses, while also supporting spike‐type signal integrations.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Multifunctional solid polymer electrolyte (SPE) films integrating intrinsic self‐healing, mechanical stretchability, and dual photo‐ and pH‐responsive ionic conductivity are developed. Constructed from thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) and hydrogen‐bonded poly(thiourea triethylene glycol) (PTUEG3), these films form a dynamic supramolecular network ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A fully polymeric two‐dimensional array of Dielectric Elastomers enables self‐sensing, cooperative actuation, and large‐stroke operation in a DE‐based autonomous conveyor. Based only on voltage and current measurements at actuator level, the system detects the presence of a ball and subsequently drives it toward a target position.

Jesus Christ as an Ancestor: A critique of Ancestor Christology in Bantu Communities. [PDF]
Pharos Journal of Theology, 2018 The theological and relativized usage of inculturation as a paradigm which serves the purpose of ‘praeparatio evangelica’, otherwise known as ‘the preparation for the Gospel’, of Africans with the Christian doctrine of the uniqueness of Jesus Christ, as

Stability of Medicinal Nanoemulsions to Spaceflight: Insights From the StarMed Experiment
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Chitosan‐coated melatonin nanoemulsions (MN) recovered from a sounding rocket mission preserve droplet size and controlled‐release behavior, whereas uncoated nanoemulsions show ageing‐driven droplet growth and increased accessible drug fraction. Simple polymer coatings thus enhance the flight resilience of liquid space medicines under cumulative launch

Inorganics, 2017 Based on the hypothesis on the presence of double metal cyanides in the primordial oceans, a series of nano-sized metal(II) hexacyanocobaltate(III) (MHCCo) with the general formula: M3[Co(CN)6]2•xH2O (where M = Zn, Fe, Ni and Mn) has been synthesized ...

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Magnetic doping of the topological insulator Bi2Te3 with erbium adatoms induces out‐of‐plane magnetism and breaks time‐reversal symmetry, opening a Dirac gap and driving a Fermi surface transition from hexagonal to star‐of‐David geometry. Microscopy, spectroscopy, and magnetic dichroism reveal atomically controlled magnetic interactions that tailor the
