Relevance of Kappa and Lambda Free Light Chains in Autoimmune Astrocytopathy Associated With Anti‐GFAP Antibodies

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction The kappa‐free light chain (κ‐FLC) index is known to be highly sensitive and specific for diagnosing multiple sclerosis (MS), while little is understood about lambda (λ)‐FLC. This study assessed the κ‐FLC and λ‐FLC indices in autoimmune glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) astrocytopathy.

Energy Dissipation in Nonlinearly Elastic Auxetic and Non‐Auxetic Mechanical Metamaterials with Friction and Material Damping

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents a hyperelastic mechanical metamaterial for elastic energy dissipation. Energy is dissipated within its unit cells by friction assisted by material damping. Frictional contact is enhanced when using auxetic unit cells. The load–displacement plot for one compression cycle shows a pronounced hysteresis loop, indicating that a large ...

Impact of Strain in Free‐Standing PtSe2 in Scalable 2D MEMS

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Strain tuning of 2D materials such as PtSe2 opens new opportunities for micro‐ and nanoelectromechanical systems (MEMS/NEMS). This study introduces a fabrication method for free‐standing, as‐grown thin‐film channels that bypass mechanical transfer, offering a scalable, universal platform for strain engineering.

Advanced Emissivity Tuning Via Femtosecond Laser Surface Engineering

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Femtosecond laser surface processing (FLSP) is employed to fabricate titanium‐based metamaterials with engineered micro/nano‐scale features that exhibit spectrally selective and omnidirectional thermal emissivity. By integrating advanced ellipsometry, electromagnetic modeling, and compositional analysis, the work reveals resonance‐driven emissivity ...
