Snap‐Through–Driven Liquid Crystal Elastomers for High‐Power Remote Microneedle Actuation Toward Smart Livestock Systems

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A magnetically assisted snap‐through liquid crystal elastomer transforms photochemical deformation into a high‐power mechanical impulse, enabling remote microneedle actuation and highlighting its potential for future smart livestock intervention systems.

An Electrowetting Pump

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A tubular electrowetting pump moves alternating droplets through a millimeter‐wide channel in discrete, reversible steps, functioning as a fluidic stepper motor. With no moving parts and electrodes insulated from the liquid, it delivers silent, accurate flow. Flexibility allows the pump to be woven directly into textiles for wearable, medical, and soft‐

Fiber‐reinforced Liquid Metal Composites With Automated Circuit Fabrication for Structurally‐Integrated Power Transfer

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Fiber‐reinforced liquid metal composites (FibRe LMCs) are introduced that combine GPa‐scale structural performance with digitally programmable electrical conductivity. Through automated CNC activation, conductive pathways and wireless power transfer circuits are fabricated directly within load‐bearing composites, enabling structurally integrated ...

3D Hydrodynamic Flow Lithography

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Continuous‐ and stop‐flow lithography are widely used to fabricate multi‐dimensional microstructures whose cross‐sectional morphology is dictated by the flow profile of multiple co‐flowing streams. Here, we introduce three‐dimensional hydrodynamic flow lithography (3D HFL), a platform for programmable generation of multi‐layered flow profiles ...

Sulfation‐Tunable Peptide‐Glycosaminoglycan Hydrogels for Hematopoietic Stem and Progenitor Cell Expansion

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Co‐assembly of rationally designed glycosaminoglycan‐binding peptides with sulfated glycosaminoglycans yields supramolecular hydrogels with tunable mechanics and matrix‐mediated cytokine retention. The glycosaminoglycans thereby act as cofactors, driving a coil‐to‐β‐sheet transition that triggers gelation.

"Horizontal Peacebuilding": A New Concept Developed by IFIT's Territorial Trust in Colombia

“Horizontal peacebuilding” is a new concept pioneered by IFIT’s Territorial Trust in Colombia. Prevailing concepts of locally-led peacebuilding focus on vertical relationships between elites and communities – or more generally, between a “centre” and a “periphery”.

Horizontal Trust and Intra-Group and Inter-Group Processes in Enterprises in Innovative Industries

Annales Universitatis Mariae Curie-Skłodowska, sectio H – Oeconomia
Theoretical background: Discussions on the search for factors to increase the company’s market position increasingly focus on intangible assets. One of them is trust, which, based on interpersonal cooperation within employee groups and organizations, supports the flow of knowledge and information necessary to create innovations.

Imaging the Thickness‐Dependent Formation of Schottky Barriers in Metal–Semiconductor van der Waals Heterostructures

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Using nanobeam photoemission, we demonstrate imaging of the in‐plane and out‐of‐plane electric field landscape within a metal–semiconductor van der Waals heterostructure. We provide evidence for Schottky barrier formation that depends on the semiconductor thickness. ABSTRACT Achieving high‐performance optoelectronic devices based on two‐dimensional van
