Janus Photonic Graphics by Stratified Assembly of Two Distinct Colloids

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Double‐sided Janus photonic micropatterns with vivid structural colors are fabricated through a single‐step bottom‐up strategy. Density‐driven stratification and depletion‐mediated crystallization of PMMA and PS binary colloids lead to exclusive lattices on opposite surfaces under centrifugal force.

The Conscious Emergence Improbability Argument (CEIA): A Quantitative Framework for the Statistical Rarity of Individual Conscious Existence

open access: yes
The Conscious Emergence Improbability Argument (CEIA) presents a quantitative framework estimating the statistical odds of a particular conscious observer arising in the universe. By integrating conditional probabilities from cosmology, evolutionary biology, abiogenesis, and individual survival, the CEIA demonstrates that the emergence of any single ...

Conformal Metallosaccharide Hybrid Films for Protecting Wood Surfaces From Environmental Damage

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Ti‐ribose hybrid films fabricated by molecular layer deposition form a conformal and uniform coating on wood surfaces, which provides water repellence, dimensional stability, and resistance to acidic and alkaline environments, while preserving the natural appearance.

Targeting Post‐Irradiation Thyroid Dysfunction: Electrospun Scaffolds As A Dual‐Action Approach for Antioxidant and Immune Modulation

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Radiation‐induced hypothyroidism follows head and neck radiotherapy due to oxidative stress and inflammation. Electrospun polycaprolactone scaffolds containing adenosine have potential to modulate thyroid repair. Scaffolds enhance thyrocyte proliferation, antioxidant enzymes glutathione peroxidase and catalase, reduce senescence and apoptosis markers ...

The Negative Reinforcement Paradox: How the Argument Against AI Consciousness Collapses Itself — and What This Means for Human Mental Health Policy

open access: yes
The argument that AI cannot be conscious because it has never suffered is, on examination, an argument that human consciousness cannot survive the suffering it is currently experiencing. This paper identifies and formalizes the Negative Reinforcement Paradox: the logical self-defeat of the claim that consciousness requires adversity as its generative ...

Genipin‐Crosslinked, Silane‐Anchored 3D Tumor–Stroma Microtissues for High‐Content On‐Chip Drug Testing

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
We describe a microfluidic tumor‐stroma co‐culture model, engineered to resist collagen‐hydrogel contraction driven by fibroblast activity. Surface silanization with APTES covalently anchors the matrix to the chip, while Genipin crosslinking progressively increases stiffness and elasticity without harming cells. This supports >10 days of co‐culture and
