Egg Characteristics of Female Common Terns Are Repeatable, and Vary With Maternal Age and Laying Order

Ecology and Evolution
Avian eggs exhibit striking variability in size, shape, colour, and maculation, not only among but also within species. Technical and analytical advances in image analysis offer the opportunity to understand the factors underpinning this variability ...

Eco‐Friendly Solvent System for Inkjet Deposition of Wide Bandgap Perovskite Solar Cells Enabling Tandem Integration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The fabrication of wide‐bandgap perovskite thin films via green solvents integrated with inkjet printing is developed. Controlled crystallization of the perovskite layer is achieved by optimizing ink formulation and additive engineering, enabling power conversion efficiencies above 17% for single junctions and 28% for perovskite/silicon tandem solar ...

Membrane‐Active Peptide Protects Against Inflammation by Targeting NLRP3 Activation at the Trans‐Golgi Network

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The membrane‐active peptide Pep19‐2.5 reduces harmful inflammation by blocking activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome at trans‐Golgi network membranes. By targeting key membrane interactions, Pep19‐2.5 suppresses inflammatory IL‐1β production and alleviates allergic airway inflammation in mice, leading to reduced immune cell infiltration and improved ...

Subversion of Atypical Mucin Traps by a Spore‐Coat Effector Blocks Cellular Immunity in Drosophila

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
While the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium robertsii can evade insect humoral immunity, its subversion of cellular defenses is still elusive. We identify Eac1 as a spore‐coat protein essential for infecting drosophilids by targeting atypical mucins (Sgf1 and Sgf2), which can entrap spores in a gel matrix and thereby facilitate hemocyte encapsulation.

Systematic Multi‐Level Analyses Decode the Arthritis‐Neurodegeneration Axis With In Vivo Validation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Arthritis and neurodegeneration are usually studied as separate disorders, but this study connects them through population evidence, genetic inference, transcriptomic mapping, and mouse models. It highlights RNF40 as a context‐dependent joint‐brain candidate, induced in inflammatory joints yet functionally linked to dopamine‐neuron vulnerability ...

Tuning Local Modulus at Liquid Metal‐Polymer Interfaces Regulates Electrocaloric Effect in Ferroelectric Nanocomposites

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
Liquid metal nanoparticles create mechanically compliant polymer interfaces that facilitate reversible dipolar reorientation under electric fields, whereas rigid interfaces impose stronger local constraints. This soft–rigid interface comparison reveals local interfacial modulus as a key parameter for tuning electrocaloric entropy change in ...

Understanding Egg Price Volatility and Policy Implications in the U.S. With Machine Learning

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Eggs are an inexpensive and sustainable source of proteins, but volatility in the U.S. egg prices has intensified in recent years, raising concerns over food affordability and market stability. This study examines the drivers of U.S. egg price dynamics over 2004–2025 using a two‐stage framework that combines LASSO‐based variable selection with
