Closing the Loop: High‐Precision 3D Photofabrication in Living Tissues
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Writing 3D microstructures inside living tissue demands more than laser access; It demands information. Hierarchical sensing captures thermal and mechanical states across pulse‐train, voxel, and structure timescales, feeding a controller that steers the laser in real time.

Stochastic‐MTJ Sampler Arrays for In‐Array Monte–Carlo Estimation
Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.A low‐energy‐barrier magnetic tunnel junction array is operated as a probability‐domain sampler: each cell's random switching, programmed through a shared digital‐to‐analog converter, makes the per‐column multiply–accumulate an unbiased Monte–Carlo expectation estimator that returns both a mean and a calibrated uncertainty.

Essential lessons from an unpromising source: what reformers can learn from the Philippines on corruption control [PDF]
Public Administration and PolicyPurpose – Corruption control in the Republic of the Philippines (RP) has hardly failed, but it is not (yet) a success story either. Dramatic “people power” episodes have occurred, but populism has also, at times, led to repression.
