Reception Baseline Assessment and ‘small acts’ of micro‐resistance

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract In September 2021, following the global COVID‐19 pandemic, the Department for Education introduced a national standardised digital Reception Baseline Assessment (RBA) for all English 4‐year‐old children. We analyse RBA and its associated Quality Monitoring Visits, as a further intensification of the new public management of early years ...

Remote Conformational Control of a Chloride‐Binding Site

open access: yesChemistryEurope, EarlyView.
Chloride‐binding foldamers have been developed that have stereogenic C‐ and N‐terminal groups separated by a helical α‐aminoisobutyric acid (Aib) body. Chloride affinity is sensitive to the sense and strength of screw‐sense induction by each N‐terminal residue.

Shedding Light on Synthetic Autocatalysis: From Conventional Closed‐Shell Chemistries to Overlooked Open‐Shell Occurrences

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Why add another catalyst when the product itself holds the power to catalyze its own formation? Autocatalysis in synthetic chemistry enhances reaction efficiency and uncovers novel catalytic behavior across both closed‐shell and open‐shell systems, expanding reactivity and enabling innovative design strategies.

One‐Step Tunable Human Hair Keratin Gradient Hydrogel with Antibacterial Activity for Tissue Engineering

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
A gradient hydrogel made from human hair extracted keratins is formed via a diffusion‐mediated silver‐thiolate complexation process, driven by keratin's naturally occurring high cysteine content. This single‐step platform offers tunable gradient hydrogel properties, antibacterial activity, and supports extracellular matrix production in vitro. Enhanced
