Navigating Ternary Doping in Li‐ion Cathodes With Closed‐Loop Multi‐Objective Bayesian Optimization
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.The search for advanced battery materials is pushing us into highly complex composition spaces. Here, a space with about 14 million unique combinations is efficiently explored using high‐throughput experimentation guided by Bayesian optimization with a deep kernel trained on both the Materials Project database and our data.

Emergent Freestanding Complex Oxide Membranes for Multifunctional Applications
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.This review surveys freestanding oxide membranes and covers fabrication and three pathways for studies and devices: strain‐free and strained membranes, and van der Waals‐integrated heterostructures. We show how coupled oxide responses map onto these routes and cross‐couple to expand behaviors.

Perspective on Aqueous Batteries: Historical Milestones and Modern Revival
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.This review retraces the development of aqueous batteries from classical Zn‐MnO2 chemistry to modern Zn and Ni systems, correlating voltage, capacity, and electrolyte formulation with practical performance. By mapping historical success and failure onto current and future research directions, it identifies guiding principles that steer the design of ...

Regional Inequality, Poverty and Economic Integration in Brazil [PDF]
, 2004 Gains and losses from trade liberalization are often unevenly distributed inside a country. For example, if budget shares vary according to household income, changes in commodity prices will redistribute an overall welfare change between household types.

Opportunities for Multiscale Pattern Modulation with Temporally Arrested Breath Figures
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.This works presents the temporally arrested breath figure methodology and its opportunities for pattern modulation. Through thermodynamic and photochemical phase change handles, this method uses drop‐wise condensation as a dynamic template for fast, accessible and scalable micropatterning.
