Costs of European Monetary Union: Evidence of monetary and fiscal policy effectiveness [PDF]
Costs of a monetary union are typically analysed in the context of the optimum currency area approach, looking at the likelihood of asymmetric real disturbances, the degree of real wage flexibility and of labour mobility.

Resolving Heterogeneity of Targeted Lipid Nanoparticles Through Solution‐Based Biophysical Analyses
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.AF4‐UV‐DLS‐MALS‐SAXS resolves previously inaccessible targeted lipid nanoparticle (tLNP) subpopulations that differ in size, shape, and composition. Correlation of subpopulation‐resolved biophysical properties with in vivo RNA delivery reveals that targeted placental transfection is associated with distinct tLNP subpopulations rather than ensemble ...

Comparative Analysis of Work Function Measurement Techniques Based on Scanning Probe Microscopy
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Non‐contact scanning probe microscopy visualizes the surface topography based on surface electronic properties. The tunneling current, which defines the geometry of the tunnel–junction, has to overcome the effective surface work function barrier to reach the probe from the surface.

Margins of International Banking: Is there a Productivity Pecking Order in Banking, too? [PDF]
Modern trade theory emphasizes firm-level productivity differentials to explain the cross-border activities of non-financial firms. This study tests whether a productivity pecking order also determines international banking activities.

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.A photoactive tweezers system based on photoactive colloids is developed and systematically investigated in this study. Through experimental and theoretical methods, we demonstrate that the photoredox reaction catalyzed by a dye‐sensitized TiO2 particle generates a strong positive phototaxis, enabling self‐entrapment in the beam center.

Establishing Atomic Coherence in Twisted Oxide Membranes Containing Volatile Elements
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Twisted oxide membranes containing volatile elements often suffer from amorphous interfacial dead layers that suppress coupling. An oxygen‐annealing strategy establishes atomically coherent and chemically bonded interfaces in twisted NaNbO3 membranes, enabling coherent oxide moiré architectures in volatile‐element‐containing systems.
