Galileo was wrong: The geometrical design of masonry arches [PDF]
, 2006 Since antiquity master builders have used always simple geometrical rules for designing arches. Typically, for a certain form, the thickness is a fraction of the span.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Polymer‐based hydrogels have emerged as promising materials for atmospheric water harvesting (AWH) due to their high water affinity, tunable network structure, and excellent moisture adsorption‐desorption performance. Functional hydrogel systems enable efficient water capture and controlled release under low‐energy conditions, offering a sustainable ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.SerpinA3 acts as an endogenous TGF‐β receptor antagonist that binds to the extracellular domain of TGFR‐1, thereby preventing TGFR‐1–TGFR‐2 complex formation. This receptor‐level blockade suppresses TGF‐β/Smad2/3 signaling, attenuates cardiac fibroblast activation, and extracellular matrix deposition, and ultimately alleviates pressure overload–induced

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Mechanical orthodontic treatment for malocclusion is limited by slow remodeling and risks due to poor biomechanical sensing. This study shows that static magnetic fields (SMFs) enhance mechanical sensation in periodontal ligament cells, promoting inflammation and osteoclast activity.

Ultrahigh Interfacial Thermal Conductance across GaN/BAs Interfaces via Atomic‐Level Engineering
Advanced Science, EarlyView.The integration of gallium nitride (GaN) with ultrahigh‐thermal‐conductivity boron arsenide (BAs) substrates represents a promising pathway for developing next‐generation high‐power devices. The heat dissipation capability of such integrated systems is fundamentally governed by thermal transport across GaN/BAs interfaces, and buffer layers such as ...
