A Solid State Zwitterionic Plastic Crystal With High Static Dielectric Constant
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Developing solid high dielectric constant materials has been a research focus in the energy storage field. In this research, we discovered a zwitterion with a plastic crystal phase. Due to the short‐range degree of freedom of the dipole moment for this zwitterion, a relatively high static dielectric constant has been achieved in its solid state ...

Nonequilibrium Period with Emergence of Marangoni Circulations in Meniscus Splitting
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.The emergence and evolution of Marangoni convection in the meniscus splitting phenomenon are investigated. During the mass circulation of viscous fluids, the confluence and bifurcation of polymer dispersions beneath the evaporative interface lead to the inhomogeneous densification of the skin layer.

Opportunities for Multiscale Pattern Modulation with Temporally Arrested Breath Figures
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.This works presents the temporally arrested breath figure methodology and its opportunities for pattern modulation. Through thermodynamic and photochemical phase change handles, this method uses drop‐wise condensation as a dynamic template for fast, accessible and scalable micropatterning.
