MXene‐based potassium‐ion battery anodes are mapped by linking synthesis, surface chemistry, heterostructure design, and practical evaluation. Pristine MXenes and composites with carbon, oxides, sulfides, selenides, tellurides, and alloying phases are compared, while intercalation, pseudocapacitive, conversion/alloying, built‐in‐field, and trapping ...

TADF‐Active Tetrazole Luminophores for Visible‐Light Functionalization of Nanoparticles and Surfaces
A series of tetrazoles are reported that undergo 1,3‐dipolar cycloadditions with alkene and alkyne substrates, generating (dihydro)pyrazole products that exhibit thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF). The “photo‐click” reactivity of these tetrazoles is leveraged to functionalize nanoparticles and surfaces with TADF‐active chromophores ...

Small‐Molecule Kinase Inhibitors Modulating Circadian Rhythms
ABSTRACT The circadian clock mechanism generates 24‐h rhythms crucial for regulating various physiological processes, and its dysregulation has been implicated in numerous diseases. In cells, the circadian clock operates through a transcriptional‐translational feedback loop, where phosphorylation plays a pivotal role in maintaining accurate circadian ...

Directed Buckling of Molded LCE Sheets for Haptic Interfaces
Liquid crystalline elastomers (LCEs) can undergo reversible deformations in response to heat or light. This theoretical and computational work shows how through molding and selective illumination, LCE devices can be made to exhibit phototropic or photophobic buckling from a monolithic structure, allowing the LCE to serve as a rewriteable haptic ...

Rapid Access to Photoswitchable RNA Binders: Fluorination Enhances Protein Rescue by Exon Inclusion
An adaptable approach, many light‐switchable RNA binders. We report a versatile strategy for rapidly synthesizing photoswitchable RNA binders. The ligands can target SMN2 pre‐mRNA, restoring the levels of the corresponding protein by exon‐inclusion rescue.

Impact of Threading State on the Mechanics of γ‐Cyclodextrin–Pyrene Gels
Tuning the threading state of discrete γ‐cyclodextrin (γ‐CD)–pyrene pseudorotaxane crosslinkers controls gel topology and ring mobility. The resulting doubly threaded slide‐ring networks exhibit solvent‐switchable dissipative dynamics, high extensibility, rate‐dependent mechanics, and low hysteresis, revealing how crosslink topology governs macroscopic
