Wonders of Harbor and Grey Seal Whiskers: Morphology, Natural Frequencies, and 3D Modeling
Seals detect prey by sensing vortices using whiskers. How whisker morphologies and locations respond to hydrodynamic signals across various frequencies remains unclear. This study measures whiskers’ natural frequencies and morphologies and maps them to whisker locations on the muzzle, providing insights into how seals interpret hydrodynamic signals ...

Reconstructing Three‐Dimensional Optical Anisotropy with Tomographic Müller‐Polarimetric Microscopy
Tomographic Müller polarimetric microscopy is a novel imaging technique that resolves 3D birefringent properties of bulky samples, unveiling hierarchical nanostructures at microscopic resolution. Based on incoherent visible‐light polarimetry, it achieves experimental simplicity by eliminating phase measurements.

The practical application of chromophores such as porphyrins, coumarins, anthraquinones, and pyrene derivatives in photocatalysis is severely limited by catalyst stability and reusability. In this work, a simple and universal strategy is presented for preparing highly efficient and recyclable heterogeneous photocatalysts for the oxidative coupling of ...

Unraveling the underlying mechanisms at the origin of ultra‐low thermal conductivity in pristine crystals is of central relevance to designing new functional materials. Single crystals of the candidate functional material BaBiO3 show an anomalous glassy thermal conductivity, which reveals the role of strong anharmonicity and additional scattering ...

This work shows that the fusion of InSb colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) leads to the formation of band‐tail trap states that are detrimental to the performance of optoelectronic devices. These results highlight the critical role of suppressing band‐tail trap states and passivating surface defects in enhancing device performance and motivate toward the ...
