Elephant‐Skin‐Inspired Porous Cementitious Tiles with Programmable Crack Networks for Passive Cooling

Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 44, 7 August 2026.
Elephant‐skin‐inspired crack networks are programmed in porous diatomaceous earth (DE)‐cement composites using substrate‐guided, stress‐concentration induced fracture. The resulting crack lattices act as capillary conduits that redistribute water, while the porous matrix stores moisture.

E. coli Extracellular Matrix: A Tunable Composite With Hierarchical Structure

Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 43, 3 August 2026.
The complex composite‐like mechanical behavior of E. coli biofilm matrix is the result of a synergic contribution of the rigid curli and swelling pEtN‐cellulose, and emerges from specific ratio and assembly conditions. The interactions between the two fibers govern biofilm hydration and characteristic wrinkling patterns, providing crucial insights for ...

A History of ESEM in 2.5 Chapters

Microscopy and Microanalysis, 2001
Abstract Microscopy has always been concerned with the observation of samples in their natural states. The earliest instruments, optical microscopes, did not interfere with the samples which were under observation due to the pervasive presence of visible light in the normal evolution of these entities.

A Factor‐Analytic Approach for Psychometric Properties of the Repetitive Behaviors Questionnaire‐3 (RBQ‐3) for Turkish Population

Autism Research, Volume 19, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Restricted and repetitive behaviors (RRBs) are one of the diagnostic criteria for autism spectrum disorders (ASD), as well as being found in the general population. The current study aims to explore the psychometric properties of the Turkish self‐report and informant‐report forms of the Repetitive Behaviors Questionnaire‐3 (RBQ‐3) for ...

Modified Single Amino Acid‐Based Semiconductor: A Minimalistic Approach

ChemNanoMat, Volume 12, Issue 8, August 2026.
This study introduces a minimalistic strategy for generating semiconducting biomaterials from modified single amino acids. Eight molecules were synthesized and structurally verified using mass spectrometry, NMR, SC‐XRD, and PXRD. BNI‐L‐Phe, BNI‐L‐Tyr, and BNI‐n‐Hex crystallized in a monoclinic system, while BNI‐D‐Leu formed an orthorhombic structure ...

Modular Tissue‐Engineered Motor Units Featuring Spinal Motor Neurons Innervating Self‐Assembled Myofiber Bundles

Macromolecular Bioscience, Volume 26, Issue 8, August 2026.
The current study devised a methodology to biofabricate pre‐innervated, three‐dimensional bundled myofibers, as shown in this confocal micrograph depicting immunolabeled axons (red) and a multinucleated (blue) myofiber with well‐defined sarcomeres (green). ABSTRACT A motor unit is the functional unit of muscle contraction, consisting of a population of
