Intracrystalline Void‐Mediated Toughening of Brittle Crystals in Quail Eggshells
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.In quail eggshells, the high density and disordered arrangement of intracrystalline voids inhibit lattice cleavage, suppress long‐range crack propagation, and promote deformation twinning and quasi‐plasticity, serving as an essential toughening motif. We show that these voids remain within a narrow subcritical size range and therefore predominantly do ...

The securitization of African immigrants in South Africa
Frontiers in Political ScienceSecuritization of immigrants is the framing of immigrants as security threats that need to be curbed, thwarted and eliminated. Yet immigration is only but a small segment of migration, which is necessary for economic growth.

Airstream Deflection Across a Cylindrical Surface
, 2016 A cylindrical airstream was blown across a cylindrical surface. The deflection angle, peak speed, and asymmetry of the airstream were measured while changing the location of the cylinder relative to the center of the wind column, and while changing the ...

Exceptional Electro‐Optic Coefficient Unlocked via Polarization Swaying in KNbO3 Thin Films
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.We present the largest reported electro‐optic response in any material to date, guided by a new design principle that exploits ultralow coercive field polarization swaying enabled by low‐symmetry ferroelectric phases in monoclinic KNbO3 thin films for energy‐efficient classical and quantum photonic integrated circuits. ABSTRACT The electro‐optic effect

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Functional elastomer overlayers are integrated onto stretchable ZnS:Cu‐PDMS mechanoluminescent films to regulate light after emission without modifying the emissive composite. NLC‐PU provides haze‐assisted light extraction to enhance green mechanoluminescence, while DCM‐NLC‐PU combines green‐to‐yellow‐orange color conversion with enhanced outward light

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Spatially distributing Ti3C2Tx nanosheets into core‐shell architecture, rather than as directly dispersed flakes, mitigates aggregation and enhances photon harvesting. When the Ti3C2Tx core‐shell particles are incorporated into a shape‐memory polymer matrix at an ultralow loading of 0.0024 wt%, the improved photothermal conversion translates into ...
