Structure‐Property Relationships in Catecholamine Coatings for Broad Surface Functionalization

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Inspired by mussel adhesive proteins (MAPs), six catecholamine molecules with different molecular structure were systematically characterized and compared based on their ability to form homogeneous, reactive coatings. Highlighting candidates capable of balancing coating properties of interest, their successful use as primer layers for organic and ...

Traits associated with novel foraging success in urban mesopredators

Scientific Reports
Urbanization is transforming ecosystems worldwide, creating novel environmental conditions that wildlife must adjust to. Because urban species differ markedly in ecological strategies, functional traits, and societal perceptions, they experience ...

A 3D‐Printed Model of Human Lactation

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Breastfeeding supports infant and maternal health, yet in vitro models that mimic human lactation remain scarce. Here, light‐based 3D printing creates high‐resolution, alveoli‐inspired microwells that guide breast cells into polarized microtissues. The printed scaffolds embed slow‐release prolactin microcrystals to deliver hormonal cues, enabling human

Rethinking fire‐adapted species in an altered fire regime

Ecosphere, 2020
Novel combinations of fire regime and forest type are emerging in areas affected by climate change, fire exclusion, and other stressors. Species interactions following wildfire in these areas are not well understood.

Leaftronics: Bio‐Fractal Scaffolds From Leaf Venation for Low‐Waste Electronics

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
“Leaftronics” transforms naturally evolved leaf venation into quasi‐fractal scaffolds for sustainable electronics. Polymer‐infiltrated leaf skeletons can be used to fabricate ultra‐smooth, reflow‐ and thin‐film‐compatible decomposable substrates, while making the same lignocellulose networks conducting results in flexible transparent electrodes.

Synthesis of Bulk Superconducting LiNbO2 Crystals Through CaH2 Reduction

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
CaH2 reduction reconstructively transforms insulating LiNbO3 single crystals into superconducting bulk LiNbO2 with a critical temperature of Tc = 14.4 K. Scanning electron microscopy reveals large‐volume, high‐yield phase conversion. Magnetization measurements demonstrate a robust ∼ 77% Meissner shielding fraction, establishing bulk superconductivity ...

Light in the Darkness: Responses to Light and Diel Activity Rhythm in an Eyeless Cave Flatworm (Dendrocoelum italicum)

Ecology and Evolution
Troglobiont species show common traits derived from adaptation to subterranean life. Due to lack of light in cave environments most troglobiont species show eye reduction or even loss, often accompanied by a disruption of diel rhythmicity.
