Surface Wrinkling of Plasma‐Exposed PDMS is Caused by Water Vapor Sorption: An Optical Environmental Sensor

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Wrinkling of soft materials, such as polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), underpins a myriad of technologies. Plasma‐oxidation of PDMS induces spontaneous wrinkling, which is canonically attributed to thermal expansion‐contraction of bilayers. Employing experiments and modelling, it is demonstrated that sorption of water vapor is instead responsible for ...

Bicontinuous Microarchitected Scaffolds Provide Topographic Cues That Govern Neuronal Behavior and Maturation

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A scalable biomimetic platform transforms bioinert poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate into neuroinstructive matrices via integrating solvent transfer‐induced phase separation, microfluidics, and 3D bioprinting. Bicontinuous, hyperbolically curved microporous networks embedded within a fibrous construct elicit rapid adhesion, robust proliferation, and ...

Invasion of the therapeutic contact lens by a rare fungal species presenting as the acute red eye: A case report

Indian Journal of Ophthalmology, 2020
Therapeutic contact lens used in the treatment of non-infective corneal pathologies are prone to infection by microorganisms like bacteria, protozoa and fungi. Bacteria cause the majority of contact lens-related infections. Although rare, fungal invasion

The Hierarchical Structure of Sheep Wool and Its Impact on Physical Properties

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Sheep wool, a prevalent α‐keratinous fiber, is an essential model for studying protein‐based fibers. Its genetic diversity across breeds enables the establishment of multiscale structure‐property relationships, uncovering previously elusive insights into wool's hierarchical structure.

Oligohistidine‐Functionalized Single‐Walled Carbon Nanotube‐Guided RNA Delivery to Improve Shoot Regeneration Efficiency in Plant Calli

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The pH‐sensitive His6‐SWNTs, which is functionalized with oligohistidine, can deliver STTM396 molecules into callus cells. The STTM396–SWNT complex treatments enhance shoot regeneration efficiency by regulating the miR396‐GRF module in Arabidopsis and tomato calli.

Gated PN Junction in Ambipolar MoS2 for Superior Self‐Powered Photodetection

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A high‐quality gated pn junction based on ambipolar molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) is demonstrated by employing a partial‐gate structure and a Pt bottom contact that forms a semi‐van der Waals interface, facilitating efficient hole injection into the channel.

Electrically Binary and Ternary Convertible CMOS Inverter and Logic Gate Using Complementary Field‐Effect Transistors Based on Vertically Stacked MoS2/WSe2 n‐/p‐ Field‐Effect Transistors

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
In this work, a reconfigurable T‐CMOS inverter based on vertically stacked MoS2 and WSe2 MOSFETs with a gate‐tunable MoS2 resistor, enabling stable ternary logic, is demonstrated. The T‐CMOS inverter supports electrical switching between ternary and binary modes and is further extended to implement ternary NAND (NMIN) and NOR (NMAX) logic gates ...
