Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A miniaturized, label‐free, and enzyme‐free biosensor (miR‐TFT) enables direct electrical detection of microRNA (miRNA) with single‐nucleotide specificity and a detection limit of 0.6 fM. Built on a tri‐channel In2O3/ZnO heterojunction and functionalized with bespoke peptide nucleic acid (PNA) probes, the device is robust, reusable, and compatible with

Nature‐Inspired Sustainable Cooling for Photovoltaics with Enhanced Temperature‐Salinity Dynamics
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Addressing solar panel overheating, a nature‐inspired cooling system mimicking ocean currents is developed. A moisture‐absorbing solution layer uses sunlight, radiative cooling, and moisture processes to create temperature/salinity gradients, accelerating circulation. The prototype cools panels by up to 18.2 °C under sunlight, sustains cooling, rapidly

Proletarianisation, agency and changing rural livelihoods : forced labour and resistance in colonial Mozambique [PDF]
, 2001 In current analytical approaches to rural poverty in southern Africa, the concept of changing livelihoods stands in an inverse relation to the concept of proletarianisation. The more we see the term livelihoods, the less we see proletarianisation.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.There is a significant need for biomaterials with well‐defined stability and bioactivity to support tissue regeneration. In this study, we developed a tunable microgel platform that enables the decoupling of stiffness from porosity, thereby promoting bone regeneration.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A scalable one‐step copolymerization strategy is developed to produce low‐cost microporous ion exchange membranes that boost both the efficiency and lifespan of flow batteries. When combined with organic electrolytes in aqueous systems, these membranes enable safe and cheap flow battery energy storage, supporting the widespread integration of renewable
