Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A diisopropyl ether (DIPE)‐based, localized, high‐concentration electrolyte is developed to stabilize both electrodes in aqueous zinc batteries. By reducing water activity and promoting anion‐rich zinc‐ion solvation, it builds robust interphases at both the cathode and anode, ensuring uniform deposition, suppressed corrosion, and highly reversible ...

2D Magnetic and Topological Quantum Materials and Devices for Ultralow Power Spintronics
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.2D magnets and topological quantum materials enable ultralow‐power spintronics by combining robust magnetic order with symmetry‐protected, Berry‐curvature‐driven transport. Fundamentals of 2D anisotropy and spin‐orbit‐coupling induced band inversion are linked to scalable growth and vdW stacking.

Geodynamic subduction models constrained by deep earthquakes beneath the Japan Sea and eastern China
Scientific Reports, 2020 Details of Pacific plate subduction under the Japan Sea and associated current seismicity remain challenging. Seismic tomography reveals a continuous slab dipping at ~30° down to ~600 km, and earthquake mechanisms point to down-dip compression.

Flat slab strengthening techniques against punching-shear
Engineering Structures, 2019 Abstract Over the years, the flat slab system has become a popular form of construction in many countries, particularly for multi-storey buildings such as offices or carparks. Nowadays, a considerable number of flat slab buildings requires strengthening against punching. Reasons are several, like design or construction errors, poor quality materials,

Nanothermometry in Living Cells: Physical Limits, Conceptual and Material Challenges
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Heat and temperature are fundamental to life. When nanothermometers began probing regions as small as a living cell, they triggered controversial claims of large intracellular temperature gradients. We review physical constraints energy‐conservation, entropy production, thermodynamic fluctuations, and molecular dynamics.

Dynamic Disproportionate Collapse in Flat-Slab Structures
Journal of Performance of Constructed Facilities, 2015 AbstractDisproportionate collapse of structures can lead to catastrophic economic loss and casualties, and thus, it is of utmost concern to mitigate the risks of such events. Flat-slab structures are much more vulnerable to disproportionate collapse than moment-frame structures as there are no beams to redistribute the loads initially resisted by the ...

Nucleation‐Controlled Reconstruction of CuOx for Selective CO2 Electroreduction
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.The ratio of oxygen vacancies (Ov) and exposed Cu2O (111)/(200) of CuOx precatalyst is modulated by nucleation control of Cu(OH)2 precursor. Low Ov ratio and high ratio of Cu2O (111)/(200) in slow‐nucleated CuOx reconstructs to high‐coordinated oxide‐derived copper (OD‐Cu) during electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) and exhibits enhanced ...
