Anisotropic Shear Properties of Organic Interfaces in Bio‐composite Materials

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A novel cantilever design enables direct probing of shear properties at single organic interfaces within biocomposite prismatic ultrastructures. By decoupling lateral and torsional shear responses, the method reveals isotropic behavior in Atrina vexillum and pronounced anisotropy in Unio pictorum.

Photoresponsive Gas‐Permeable Membranes: Fundamentals, Innovations, and Prospects

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Photoresponsive gas‐permeable membranes can be potentially used for smart packing, carbon capture, hydrogen purification, and optical gas valves due to their remote and non‐contact activation, precise spatial and temporal control, and reversible switching capabilities.

Gaussian‐Sigmoid Reinforcement Transistors: Resolving Exploration‐Exploitation Trade‐Off Through Gate Voltage‐Controlled Activation Functions

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The characteristics of a vertical n–p–i–p heterostructure transistor device, which exhibits a voltage‐tunable transition between Gaussian and sigmoid functions, are investigated. The mixed state of the transfer curve enables the utilization of both exploitation and exploration, improving computational performance in reinforcement learning tasks ...

Towards High‐Acuity Vision Restoration: Hybrid Retinal Prosthesis Composed of a High‐Density Multielectrode Array Integrated With Glutamatergic Cells

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work introduces a novel Hybrid Retinal Implant (HRI), composed of a high‐density electrode array integrated with glutamatergic neurons to overcome key limitations of current retinal prostheses. The significant reduction of activation threshold and of electrode cross‐talk yields in an improved spatial resolution.

Nanoplasmonics Reveal Ionic‐Strength‐Driven Hydration of Nanoparticles

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) is modulated by ionic‐strength‐dependent hydration shell compression. A predictive model connects shell thickness to non‐radiative damping and spectral shifts over seven orders of magnitude.

Labour Market Institutions Without Blinders: The Debate over Flexibility and Labour Market Performance [PDF]

open access: yes
The debate over the influence of labour market flexibility on performance is unlikely to be settled by additional studies using aggregate data and making cross-country comparisons.
