Drive‐Efficient GHz‐Rate Binary‐State Updates Enabled by VCSEL Polarization Switching
Photonic computing needs a compact node that can hold a binary state and update it fast. A vertical‐cavity surface‐emitting laser biased at its polarization‐switching point could serve as one: its two orthogonal linear polarizations are the two states, and a small electrical drive is enough to move the output from one state to the other at gigahertz ...

Low‐Hysteresis Cellulose‐Based Hydrogels for Strain Detecting
Low‐hysteresis hydrogel with high cellulose content is prepared. The modified cellulose is prepared through a sequential periodate oxidation and borohydride reduction process. The hydrogel can be used as a strain sensor with a gauge factor of 1.1 in the 0%–300% sensing range.

Crystallization in Poly(Ethylene Oxide) Thin Films: Roles of Shear, Confinement, and Homoepitaxy
A comprehensive three‐mechanism framework governing PEO crystallization orientation in thin films was established using GIWAXS and molecular‐level PM‐IRRAS analysis. We demonstrate systematic switching between shear‐induced edge‐on and confinement‐ or homoepitaxy‐induced flat‐on alignment.

Properties of Liquid Crystalline Elastomer Foams
Controlled foaming of liquid crystalline elastomers (LCE) with expandable microspheres creates particle‐centred mesogenic interphases that enhance viscoelastic dissipation at low bubble fractions. Under impact, optimal damping shifts to moderate porosity, balancing interphase loss, bubble compression, compliance, and integrity.

Multiomics Insights Into AL Amyloidosis
ABSTRACT Light chain amyloidosis is a systemic or localized protein conformational disorder triggered by misfolded immunoglobulin light chains, leading to amyloid fibril deposition. The disease is characterized by multiorgan involvement and delayed diagnosis, contributing to poor prognosis and high mortality rates.
