A Solution‐Based Deposition Method Enabling Pigment Blue Edible Electrochemical Transistors
A novel solution‐based method is presented to produce Copper Phthalocyanine fibrous films displaying effective ion permeability and enhanced transconductance in electrolyte‐gated transistors architectures. Using these films, the first instance of a fully edible electrolyte‐gated transistor with volumetric capacitance, targeting in‐body applications, is

Genomic Variation Underpins Genetic Divergence and Differing Salt Resilience in Sesbania bispinosa
Sesbania, a leguminous halophyte, thrives in saline soils. Comparative genomics reveals key genomic variations—particularly chromosomal inversions—are identified as contributors to population differentiation and salt resilience. These findings advance the understanding of genomic variation driving evolution and phenotypic differentiation and offer ...
