THE NEW WORLD INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION ORDER DEBATE AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY IN NIGERIA

International Studies Journal, 2023
While the New World Information and Communication Order (NWICO) debate underlines the centrality of information and communication development to societal transformation in the twenty-first century, it has unarguably led to explosion in human ...

A Degradable Bioinspired Flier with Aerogel‐Based Colorimetric Sensors for Environmental Monitoring

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Biodegradable fliers are developed inspired by Tipuana tipu samaras, integrating cellulose nanocrystal aerogel (CNCa) sensors loaded with natural dyes for pH and ammonia detection. The lightweight, degradable fliers mimic natural morphology and aerodynamics, offering an eco‐friendly, scalable solution for in situ environmental monitoring after passive ...

Edible Pneumatic Battery for Sustained and Repeated Robot Actuation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work presents an edible energy source and valve system to power soft, pneumatically driven edible robots. A chemical reaction between sodium bicarbonate and citric acid generates carbon dioxide gas, and a pressure‐triggered edible valve enables self‐repetitive motion of the edible actuator.

Early Detection of Cell Death Using Transmembrane Water Exchange Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Cell death is important in both the development and treatment of cancer. In this study, it is demonstrated for the first time that a specific measurement of the transmembrane water exchange rate using magnetic resonance imaging can be used as an early marker of cell death in mammalian cells, in animals and in human patients. Abstract Cell death plays a

Mapping Charge Interactions in Intrinsically Disordered Proteins

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study presents analytical models to predict intrachain distances in intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs), accounting for charge patterning, salt concentration, and electrostatic effects. Validated against single‐molecule FRET data, a minimal‐parameter polymer model is identified that captures key interactions and chain dimensions. These models

Exploring student estimates of astronomical scales: Impact of question formulation and visualization

Physical Review Physics Education Research
Estimating astronomical scales requires multiple complex mental processes, such as spatial thinking and interpreting large numbers. As such, it is a nontrivial question how these estimates can be most efficiently assessed. There is reason to believe that

Uncovering the Lipid Interface in Neurotransmission: Single Molecule Measurements of Neurotransmitters Interacting with Membranes Reveal Species Dependent Membrane Binding

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Using single‐molecule whispering gallery mode sensors, neurotransmitter‐specific membrane binding signatures are measured that reveal intrinsically distinct interaction kinetics and orientations on a lipid membrane. Abstract Neurotransmitters (NTs) have traditionally been understood to act via aqueous‐phase receptor binding, but growing evidence ...

Alkylthienyl Side Groups in Conjugated Polymers Enable Localization of π Electron Density and Facilitate Efficient Hole Transfer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Resonance Raman spectroscopy is used in combination with other spectroscopic and morphology characterization techniques to unveil the mechanistic origin of the shift in synthetic strategy to alkylthienyl peripheral groups for high‐performing organic photovoltaics.

Retracted: Can the chemical industry solve the climate change?On the role of human energy production, renewable energies, and the potential of chemistry as a solution provider

Chemie Ingenieur Technik, EarlyView., 2023
Let us consider an alternative perspective on climate change: The sum of solar radiation and heat generated by human activity result in a net energy input of 1.96 times that of the Sun on the Earth's surface. The expanding global population is expected to exacerbate this issue. Potential solutions are proposed, including replacement and heat recycling.

From Sample to Mixed Reality: A Translational 3D MALDI Imaging Platform for Advanced 3D Spatial Omics Analysis of 3D Cell Culture Disease Models

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A comprehensive technology platform enables high‐fidelity, volumetric MALDI imaging of 3D cell cultures by integrating custom embedding molds, a semi‐automated computational framework for 3D reconstruction, voxel‐instead of pixel‐based biomarker discovery, and immersive mixed reality data exploration.
