Wafer‐Scale Integration of α‐quartz Thin Films toward Super High Frequency Piezoelectric bioNEMS for Chikungunya Virus Detection

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 1, 2 January 2026.
Epitaxial piezoelectric α‐quartz/Si BioNEMS sensors, made using soft chemistry, effectively detect the Chikungunya virus. They have a mass sensitivity of 205 pg Hz−1 in liquid and can detect the virus at a limit of 9 ng mL−1. This development enables high‐frequency mass devices for point‐of‐care testing in healthcare and other electronic applications ...

Endogenous Processes Underlying Clock‐Like Mutational Signatures

open access: yesGenes, Chromosomes and Cancer, Volume 65, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Wellcome Trust scientists have shown that “mutational signatures” in specific nucleotide contexts accumulate in genomes of mammalian tissues, providing clues to underlying causes of specific signatures. Analysis of cancer genomes has identified more than 50 single‐base substitution (SBS) signatures, with SBS1, SBS5, and SBS40 linked to aging ...

How Does the European Union's Pluralistic Institutional System Influence Policy Change? The Case of the European Union Regulation on Deforestation‐Free Products

open access: yesSustainable Development, Volume 34, Issue S1, Page 1362-1378, January 2026.
ABSTRACT How did policy actors use the European Union's (EU's) political system to achieve policy changes in regulating the sustainability and legality of transnational forest and agricultural commodity supply chains? We qualitatively analysed the development of the new EU Regulation on Deforestation‐free products (EUDR) from actor‐centred and ...

Ultrasound‐Activated Biodegradable Piezoelectric Chitosan Nanoparticles for Glioblastoma Treatment

open access: yesSmall Science, Volume 6, Issue 1, January 2026.
Biodegradable chitosan nanoparticles are engineered to exhibit intrinsic piezoelectric properties, enabling ultrasound (US) activation for glioblastoma treatment. Their electromechanical behavior, biocompatibility, and anticancer efficacy are demonstrated, showing that US‐driven piezostimulation induces oxidative stress and apoptosis without drugs ...
