Hydrogel‐Based Method for High‐Resolution Measurements of Contact Mechanics in Rapid Biological Adhesives: A Case Study in Cuttlefish Tentacle Strikes

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 ...

Quantifying the Provincial Carbon Emissions of China Embodied in Trade: The Perspective of Land Use

Land
Land use supports production and living activities and provides ecosystem services for people. With the flow of capital, goods, and services among regions, trade leads to the transfer of carbon emissions from importing regions to exporting regions, and ...

Architected Bio‐Based Iontronic Skin With Dual‐Mode Pressure and Strain Sensing

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bio‐based acrylates in combination with an ionic liquid create 3D‐printed ionogels with compositionally tuneable mechanics and ionic conductivity. Gyroid architectures amplify low‐pressure sensitivity while preserving robust strain sensing, enabling dual‐mode detection of pressure and deformation.

Carbon storage and mitigation potential of structural wood and biochar-based concrete in global urban building scenarios

Environmental Research Letters
Urbanization is accelerating globally, increasing material demand and associated greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Bio-based construction materials can store biogenic carbon within buildings over long periods, yet their net climate change mitigation ...

Thermally Robust Room‐Temperature Interlayer Excitons in a Hybrid van der Waals Heterostructure

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We report an optically active interlayer exciton in a hybrid van der Waals (PEA)2PbBr4/MoS2 heterostructure that remains thermally stable up to 400 K. The emission exhibits polarization anisotropy consistent with an out‐of‐plane optical transition‐dipole component and shows lifetime extension indicative of electron–hole separation.

Accelerated Emissions Reductions and Carbon Risk Management in Australian Commercial Buildings: Policy and Technology Perspectives

Buildings
Counterintuitively, carbon risks—including investments in net-zero emissions-enabling technologies, legacy assets, insurance costs, and regulatory and compliance expenses—can be managed through rapid decarbonisation, as the built environment sector ...

Anti‐Inflammatory and Neuroactive Effects of Polymer‐Coated Iron Oxide Nanoparticles Functionalized With Interleukin 4 for Spinal Cord Injury

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Polymer‐coated IONPs functionalized with IL‐4 display respective neuroactive and anti‐inflammatory actions on neural progenitor cells and macrophages/microglia in vitro. When examined chronically in a rat experimental model of spinal cord injury, rGO scaffolds carrying these nanosystems adequately integrate into the lesion, significantly reduce ...
