Glissile Interphase Boundaries Enable Collective Phase Switching in Epitaxial Polar Oxides
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A triple point is identified in the phase diagram of low‐symmetry epitaxial BiFeO3 thin film along with an extended regime of phase competition associated with a flattened energy landscape. The electromechanical response is shown to be governed by correlated interphase‐boundary motion, including scale‐free avalanche dynamics characteristic of systems ...

Freedom of Association and Compulsory Unionism in Sweden and the United States [PDF]
, 1964 Collective bargaining in a democratic society rests on freedom of association which enables workers (and employers) to form organiza- tions to represent their interests. Although commonly asserted by the organization, freedom of association is not simply

An All‐Textile, Mechano‐Capacitive Subtle Movement Sensor
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A robust all‐textile capacitive sensor is introduced for measuring subtle body movements without long‐term degradation. By separating mechanical deformation from electrical sensing elements, accuracy, responsiveness, and durability are improved. Simple fabrication methods are presented, electrode effects are analyzed, and performance is validated ...
