Boom and bust in Bronze Age Britain: major copper production from the Great Orme mine and European trade, c. 1600–1400 BC

Antiquity, 2019
The Great Orme Bronze Age copper mine in Wales is one of Europe's largest, although its size has been attributed to a small-scale, seasonal labour force working for nearly a millennium.

Biomimetic 3D‐Printed Adaptive Hydrogel Bioadhesives Featuring Superior Infection Resistance for Challenging Tissue Adhesion, Hemostasis, and Healthcare

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Biomimetic 3D‐printed hydrogel bioadhesives (PTLAs) are designed to address the limitations of existing bioadhesives, offering solutions for challenging tissue adhesion and enhanced healthcare. These PTLAs feature robust wet/underwater tissue adhesion/sealing, superior freeze/pressure and infection resistance, and adaptive self‐healing/gelling capacity,

Progress in Flexible Perovskite Solar Cells: Paving the Way for Scalable Manufacturing

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are well positioned for a successful market uptake. This is due to an unprecedented improvement of their efficiency and stability since the first report in 2009. In this review paper, the building blocks for the scalable manufacturing and future commercialization of flexible PSCs and their pathway to impact will be ...

Lightweight and High‐Performance Ankle Braces Enabled by 3D Printed Metamaterial Liquid Crystal Polymer

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A flexible, lightweight ankle brace made from 3D‐printed liquid crystal polymer metamaterials offers targeted support without restricting movement. Programmable stiffness provides protection during risky motions. Biomechanical tests suggest performance comparable to commercial braces with reduced bulk, highlighting potential for broader orthotic ...

The CXCL10‐CXCR3 Axis Induces Tumor‐Associated Neutrophils to Interfere with CTLs‐Mediated Antitumor Activity in EBV‐Associated Epithelial Cancers

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Compared with EBV‐negative epithelial cancer cells, EBV‐associated epithelial cancer cells exhibit enhanced secretion of chemokines, including CXCL10 and CCL5, to attract neutrophils. Via the CXCL10‐CXCR3 axis‐mediated positive feedback loop, neutrophils within EBV‐associated epithelial cancer cells are induced to form abundant NETs, which facilitate ...

Salt or fish (or salted fish)? The Bronze Age specialised sites along the Tyrrhenian coast of Central Italy: New insights from Caprolace settlement

PLoS ONE, 2019
In 2017, an excavation led by the Groningen Institute of Archaeology and in collaboration with the Tor Vergata University of Rome, took place on two small islands in the Caprolace lagoon (Sabaudia, Italy), where Middle Bronze Age layers had previously ...

Refractive Index‐Corrected Light‐Sheet Microscopy for Macro‐View Cardiovascular Imaging

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A refractive index‐corrected light‐sheet fluorescence microscopy system enables macro‐view cardiovascular imaging across organs, adapting to refractive index variations from different optical clearing protocols. By integrating axial sweeping, multi‐view imaging, and a sealed chamber, it extends the field of view, enhances isotropy, and improves safety.

The earliest Bronze Age culture of the south-eastern Gobi Desert, Mongolia

Antiquity, 2019
Studies of the Eurasian Bronze Age have tended to emphasise the homogeneity of social and political processes across the Steppe, evidenced by a common ‘package’ of practices and material culture.
