The Social Structure of Islamicate Science
Journal of World Philosophies, 2017 The view that Islamicate science went into decline while European science was getting started is still commonly held among historians of science and almost universal in general history and popular presentations.

Effect of Nitrogen Doping on the Proton‐Irradiation Stability of Carbon Nanowalls
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.Proton irradiation effects in carbon nanowalls are systematically compared with nitrogen‐doped counterparts over a wide fluence range. While both systems maintain structural integrity, nitrogen incorporation alters the functional response under irradiation.

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.When exposed to light of a defined wavelength, the photoisomerization of azobenzene chromophores leads to polymer reorientation, generating stresses that result in solvent‐facilitated localized delamination of the film from the substrate. Additionally, blisters that form spontaneously when exposed to an aqueous environment can be manipulated via ...

Culinary Chemistry as a Platform for Interfacial Materials Design
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.Culinary processes control interfaces through heating, shear, gelation, and molecular transport. This Review connects selected gastronomic examples with food‐derived nanomaterials, plasmonic sensing, anthocyanin photovoltaics, and intelligent packaging. Original agar‐based plasmonic films illustrate the proposed translation.

Hierarchically Wrinkled Silver Ink as a Platform for Fully Integrated Stretchable Electronic Systems
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Silver Hierarchical Responsive ink (SHRink), a universal approach for the fabrication of highly stretchable interconnects, wirings, and skin‐interfaced electrodes, is realized through low‐cost, scalable spray‐printing and transfer‐printing. The SHRink demonstrates high electrical conductivity (1.2E04 S cm−1) and large stretchability (235% max fracture ...

The State of Astronomy Education in the U.S.
, 1996 I would like to set the scene for the discussion that will follow in this book and bring up a few disturbing points which I believe any discussion about astronomy education will ultimately have to address.
