Cellular Responses to Mechanical Cues Across Scales: From Fundamental Insights to Translational Potential

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This review examines how cellular behavior is regulated by mechanical cues transmitted through soft biomaterials, from single‐cell mechanosensing to tissue‐level adaptation. It highlights why physiological relevance, rather than model complexity alone, is critical for translational mechanobiology and introduces a scoring framework linking material ...

Spin and Charge Control of Topological End States in Chiral Graphene Nanoribbons on a 2D Ferromagnet

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Chiral graphene nanoribbons on a ferromagnetic gadolinium‐gold surface alloy display tunable spin and charge states at their termini. Atomic work function variations and exchange fields enabe transitions between singlet, doublet, and triplet configurations.

Water Permeates and Plasticizes Amorphous Carbon Dots: Unraveling the Inner Accessibility of the Nanoparticles by Glass Transition Studies

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
The water permeability of amorphous carbon dots (CDs) is demonstrated by investigating their plasticization. Novel polyamide‐based and amorphous nanoparticles are synthesized by controlling their inner packing density. Water plasticization is evidenced by the decrease of the CDs glass transition temperature with increasing the hydration degree.

Phase Engineering of Atomically Precise Nanoclusters (APNCs) of Gold and Beyond

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Engineering the structural phase of materials is of paramount importance for both fundamental research and practical applications. In this Review, we summarize the recent progress in controlling the phases of atomically precise nanoclusters (APNCs) of gold, silver and copper, as well as bimetallic systems. The phase‐enabled material properties of APNCs

Party autonomy with effect against third parties as a means of harmonizing and unifying regulation of transfer of ownership in the private international law

RUDN Journal of Law
The absence of an effective solution of ownership of movable property in cross-border transactions underscores the relevance of this article. The traditional lex rei sitae connecting factor fails to address issues in cases of mobile conflicts.

Probing the Architecture of Organic Heterojunctions Based on Zn(Salen)‐Type/Lu(Bis‐phthalocyanine) Complexes and Their Potential Application as Gas Sensors

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Planar bilayer heterojunctions are fabricated from two molecular materials and compared to solution‐processed bulk heterojunctions. Raman spectroscopy and conductive AFM studies reveal the formation of conductive pillar‐like structures within a poorly conductive matrix.

UCST‐Responsive PMEGA: From Solution Behavior to Functional Hydrogel Surfaces

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
PMEGA is used as a versatile water‐based UCST‐responsive platform for engineering microstructured hydrogel coatings via a thiol–ene CLAG approach. From PMEGAs of well‐defined UCST properties, the UV‐based CLAG method provides precise control over film thickness, ranging from nanometers to micrometers, and enables high‐resolution patterning.
