Designing Physical Unclonable Functions From Optically Active Materials
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Assigning unforgeable “fingerprints” to manufactured goods is a key strategy to fight global counterfeiting. Optical physical unclonable functions (PUFs) are chemically generated random patterns of optically active materials serving as unique authenticators.

"Mutational Meltdown": Aussterberisiko durch Anhäufung schädlicher Mutationen [PDF]
, 1994 Studies on the mutational meltdown, which is a synergistic effect between population regulation and genetic drift, demonstrate that the risk of population extinction due to accumulation of deleterious mutations has been greatly underestimated.

Reducing the extinction risk of stochastic populations via non-demographic noise
, 2018 We consider non-demographic noise in the form of uncertainty in the reaction step size, and reveal a dramatic effect this noise may have on the stability of self-regulating populations.

Local extinction risk under climate change in a neotropical asymmetrically dispersed epiphyte
Journal of Ecology, 2020 The long‐term fate of populations experiencing disequilibrium conditions with their environment will ultimately depend on how local colonization and extinction dynamics respond to abiotic conditions (e.g.

Microbubble Shell Stiffness Engineering Enhances Ultrasound Imaging, Drug Delivery, and Sonoporation
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Shell‐engineered poly(alkyl cyanoacrylate) microbubbles with tunable stiffness improve ultrasound imaging and therapy. Adjusting the length of the alkyl chain and the glass transition temperature maintains a narrow microbubble size distribution while enhancing drug loading, sonoporation and the acoustic response.

High extinction risk for wild coffee species and implications for coffee sector sustainability
Science Advances, 2019 Extinction threatens at least 60% of wild coffee species, including those that are key to the future of the global coffee sector. Wild coffee species are critical for coffee crop development and, thus, for sustainability of global coffee production ...
