Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Cuttlefish and squid can catch their prey within milliseconds using specialized tentacles and suckers. The physics of how the suckers can attach so quickly has remained a mystery given the technical challenges of studying them in vivo. In this publication, we develop a hydrogel that retains imprints of the suckers in order to estimate the forces they ...

Blended learning: what’s in the blend? [PDF]
The adoption of the internet into education has led to a proliferation of use of the term “Blended Learning” as indicated by over 185k scholarly articles as reported by Google Scholar.. Not surprisingly, due to the relative novelty of the term there is a misunderstanding between the scholars and practitioners when it comes to blended learning theory ...

Thermally Robust Room‐Temperature Interlayer Excitons in a Hybrid van der Waals Heterostructure
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.We report an optically active interlayer exciton in a hybrid van der Waals (PEA)2PbBr4/MoS2 heterostructure that remains thermally stable up to 400 K. The emission exhibits polarization anisotropy consistent with an out‐of‐plane optical transition‐dipole component and shows lifetime extension indicative of electron–hole separation.
