The Long Trajectory of Rubber Physics: 3500+ Years and Counting

Journal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Natural rubber's trajectory is traced from Mesoamerican use of Castilla elastica through vulcanization and the pneumatic tire to macromolecular physics and modern solid‐state refrigeration. Illustrations of C. elastica and an H. brasiliensis plantation frame the historical progression from indigenous material, then industrial crop and on to advanced ...

Within‐tree spatial heterogeneity of sap flow velocities and wood properties and its effect on the uncertainty of tree level sap flux estimates

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
As forests are important for biodiversity and recreation and provide vital resources globally, it is essential that their health can be accurately monitored, for example, by using sap flow probes to measure tree water uptake. We investigated whether sap flow measurements might differ at various locations within the same tree due to variation in wood ...

Laboratory, simulated‐use, and field evaluation of non‐insecticidal consumer products for indoor pest management: a freeze‐spray aerosol, light traps, and an ‘insect repellent’ lamp

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Control efficacy of three types of non‐insecticidal consumer products were examined in laboratory, simulated‐use, and field conditions. Freeze spray and ‘repellent lamp’ showed limited efficacy, whereas various results in attraction in light trap were reported.

Stratospheric influence on tropical cyclone evolution

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
We developed a metric based on moist static energy to detect and quantify the intrusion of stratospheric air into the inner core of tropical cyclones. High‐resolution numerical simulations show that this stratospheric interaction forms warm anomalies (high‐level warm cores) in the upper troposphere.

Invisible near‐infrared thermo‐stimulated luminescence from carbon dots enabled by stepwise energy transfer for concealed information encryption

Responsive Materials, EarlyView.
A fully metal‐free near‐infrared (NIR) thermo‐stimulated luminescent system is developed by embedding carbon dots into a carbon nitride matrix and integrating multistage Förster resonance energy transfer. The system exhibits long‐term charge retention, rewritable optical memory, and highly concealed NIR readout, promising for secure data encryption and

A Retinomorphic Graphene Transistor Implementing Direction‐ and Velocity‐Selective Computation for In‐Sensor Image Stabilization

Small, EarlyView.
A multi‐gated ion‐gel graphene transistor architecture emulates spatiotemporal dendritic filtering inspired by biological direction‐selective retinal circuits. Leveraging distributed resistance‐capacitive ionic relaxation delays under combined excitation‐inhibition pulse routines, the solid‐state device exhibits programmable direction‐selective index ...

State‐Programmable Conductive and Reactivatable Bio‐Adhesive for High‐Fidelity Epidermal Biointerfaces

Small, EarlyView.
A printable, reactivatable conductive adhesive (RCA) transitions from a robust, non‐tacky solid film into a soft, conformal biointerface upon solvent activation. By adapting to complex skin microtopography and hair‐covered scalp, the state‐programmable adhesive achieves strong adhesion and low interfacial impedance, enabling high‐fidelity EEG and pulse

Oppositely Charged Homopolypeptides Form Ordered Helix Assemblies With Hierarchical Structure

Small, EarlyView.
Hexagaonal and square assembly of polyarginine alfa‐helices formed in highly ordered polyarginine/polyaspartic acid complexes. The helices exhibit additional periodic staggering along their helical axis. ABSTRACT Oppositely charged polyelectrolytes are known to form polyelectrolyte complexes.
