A Retinal Matrix Stiffening Model Reveals FAK‐Dependent Mechanotransduction in Pericytes Underlies Vascular Destabilization

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
In this study, we show that retinal matrix stiffness is increased in diabetic mice. Using engineered human vascular models with controlled matrix stiffness, we demonstrate that stiffening activates focal adhesion kinase (FAK) signaling in pericytes, suppresses Notch signaling, and disrupts vascular morphology.

Determining Composition–Structure–Property Relationships in Quaternary Perovskitoids Through Megalibraries

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A method to synthesize 1 million compositionally distinct Cs3Bi2‐𝛼Sb𝛼Br9−xIx across a quaternary compositional space on a single glass substrate is presented. High‐throughput characterization is then used to map the interplay of composition, structure, and bandgap.

Ion‐Access Engineering for High‐Performance Vertical Organic Electrolyte‐Gated Transistors

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
In vertical organic electrolyte‐gated transistors (vOEGTs), continuous metal electrodes block ionic access to the buried semiconductor channel. Femtosecond laser‐defined pores penetrating both the electrode and semiconductor create direct ionic pathways, boosting transconductance and current density by over two orders of magnitude.

Photocatalytic Water Splitting on the Lunar Surface: Prospects for In Situ Resource Utilization

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Water has been found in craters on the moon nearby locations which are illuminated >80% of the time. Photocatalysis uses energy from sunlight to drive chemical reactions such as water splitting to produce oxygen and hydrogen. It is a scalable technology that requires lighter equipment and utilizes resources available on the moon. ABSTRACT The discovery
