Inter‐Crystal Spacing of Implantable Polymeric Surfaces as a Key Suppressor of Microbial Adhesion.

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Biofilm formation on implantable devices is addressed by controlling inter‐crystal spacing in shape memory polymers. Repeated shape recovery aligns and enlarges crystalline phases and reduces amorphous regions, enhancing bacterial repellency. Three biofilm‐forming bacteria show reduced adhesion, and a one‐year dog bile‐duct model maintains function ...

Topography‐Free Dual‐Lubricant Patterned Slippery Surfaces for Programmable Droplet Control and High‐Performance Water Harvesting

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
A patterned dual‐lubricant SLIPS creates interfacial energy asymmetry, guiding droplet migration without external actuation. Condensed droplets formed on the fluorinated‐oil‐infused regions migrate to the silicone‐oil‐infused domains, where rapid growth and coalescence occur.

Facet‐Engineered ZnO as an Interfacial Regulator for Stable Lithium Metal Anodes

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Programmable electrothermal‐wave (ETW) processing enables precise facet and morphology control of ZnO, redefining it as an interfacial regulator for stabilizing Li‐metal anodes. ETW‐controlled crystallization modulates diffusion pathways to produce facet‐specific and morphology‐defined ZnO that governs Li nucleation.

Micro‐Texturized and Ultra‐Soft Dry Electrode for Motion‐Artifact Tolerant and Long‐Term Stable Wearable Electrophysiological Monitoring

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
A highly conformal and adhesive dry electrode is developed using a micro‐textured carbon black/PDMS composite. By leveraging spontaneous surface roughness for enhanced mechanical interlocking and integrating a stretchable serpentine interconnector, the device achieves robust skin contact and low impedance.

Recycling‐Induced Copper Contamination of a 42CrMo4 Quench and Tempering Steel—Scaling and Susceptibility to Hot Shortness

open access: yessteel research international, EarlyView.
In this study, the susceptibility to copper‐induced hot shortness of the alloy 42CrMo4 is investigated by different hot tensile tests, as well as by a detailed analysis of the formed oxidation products. While an enrichment of metallic copper and a penetration of the grain boundaries are observed, no critical reduction of the tensile test properties can

Strategic Spatial Segregation in Silicon Photoelectrodes: Decoupling Catalytic and Optical Functions for High‐Efficiency Solar Water Splitting

open access: yesSmall Structures, Volume 6, Issue 5, May 2025.
A novel spatial segregation strategy for silicon photoelectrodes is demonstrated, where catalyst wires surrounded by tapered microwires effectively decouple competing optical and catalytic requirements. This architectural innovation enables optimal light absorption and catalytic activity while maintaining efficient charge transport, achieving 96.5 ...

Phylogeny, species delimitation and machine learning bridge the gap between DNA sequences and morphology in the lichen genus Arctomia (Arctomiaceae, Ascomycota)

open access: yesTAXON, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates species boundaries in the lichen genus Arctomia (Arctomiaceae, Ascomycota) using an integrative approach combining molecular phylogenetics, full Bayesian population delimitation, heuristic and model‐based species delimitation, and supervised machine learning applied to morphological data.
