Ultra‐Thin Tow‐Based Discontinuous Composites—Material Overview and Aspirations
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Tow‐based discontinuous composites made from ultra‐thin tapes offer outstanding in‐plane mechanical properties. This material, inspired by Nacre, has high volume fraction of tapes exceeding 90 % and allows for quasi‐isotropic material plates less than 100 micrometer in thickness.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This study explored how innovative “auxetic” scaffolds, which expand when stretched, influence skeletal muscle development. Researchers cultured muscle cells on different scaffold designs and applied repeated stretching over 10 days. They found that scaffold geometry affected muscle cell differentiation and fiber formation.

The method of data envelopment analysis as a tool for compiling a rating list [PDF]
The paper presents the method of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) as a tool for compiling rating lists in tasks of ordering elements of assemblages. We describe the differences that result from applying a one-dimensional model and multi-dimensional model,

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Cuttlefish and squid can catch their prey within milliseconds using specialized tentacles and suckers. The physics of how the suckers can attach so quickly has remained a mystery given the technical challenges of studying them in vivo. In this publication, we develop a hydrogel that retains imprints of the suckers in order to estimate the forces they ...

Multi-Criteria versus Data Envelopment Analysis for Assessing the Performance of Biogas Plants [PDF]
This paper compares multi-criteria decision aiding (MCDA) and data envelopment analysis (DEA) approaches for assessing renewable energy plants, in order to determine their performance in terms of economic, environmental, and social criteria and ...

An Overlooked Transport Mechanism in Organic Mixed Conductors
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Electrical transport in organic mixed ionic‐electronic conductors is commonly described by ionic and electronic conduction. Here, eumelanin reveals that polarization‐assisted displacement currents constitute an additional transport component that coexists with conductive transport.
