Photodegradable Hydrogels for On‐Demand Modeling of Age‐Related Spatiotemporal ECM Deformation

Small, EarlyView.
A light‐tunable PEG hydrogel enables on‐demand, spatiotemporal modeling of drusen‐like ECM bulges in the aging outer retina. By precisely controlling bulge size, the platform reveals how retinal pigment epithelium morphology adapts to topographical changes without disrupting actin cytoskeleton or polarity, effectively mimicking early ageing before ...

Low Temperature Site‐Specific Pulsed Laser Annealing of MoS2

Small, EarlyView.
The application of laser pulses, of extremely short duration, is investigated as a potential new method to modify the atomic structure of ultrathin 2D materials for use in the creation of future electrical devices. The process is efficient, offering a site‐specific functionality, where regions of an electronic device that only requires annealing is ...

Lipid Tail Length Determines Nano‐Bio Interactions of Peptide Amphiphile Nanostructures

Small, EarlyView.
This work demonstrates that self‐assembled peptide amphiphiles (PAs) can disassemble in circulation and reassemble with blood biomolecules. While PAs with short, less hydrophobic lipid modifications mainly bind to albumin, increasing lipid hydrophobicity shifts binding to lipoproteins.

Compositional Gradient–Engineered Ti–WO3 Films for Simultaneous Enhancement of Coloration Efficiency and Mechanical Robustness

Small, EarlyView.
A gradient Ti‐doped WO3 electrochromic film is developed via dynamic co‐sputtering, enabling depth‐dependent band engineering and strain regulation. The gradient structure induces a built‐in electric field across the film thickness that enhances coupled ion–electron transport while improving mechanical robustness.

Guiding the Formation of Surface‐Confined 2D Metal–Organic Coordination Networks by Variation of Constituent Landing Energy in Electrospray Deposition of an Iron(II) Grid Complex

Small Methods, EarlyView.
Electrospray ion beam deposition (ES‐IBD) of an Fe(II) [2 × 2] grid complex onto Ag(111) reveals landing energy‐dependent fragmentation and self‐assembly. At higher landing energies, novel coordination networks emerge. This study highlights the unique potential of ES‐IBD in creating diverse metal–organic architectures on surfaces.

A new smooth failure criterion for concrete inspired by Lubliner's condition

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract A new failure criterion with 10 parameters is proposed, based on Lubliner's idea of joining two Drucker–Prager cones. The novelty lies in the way of introducing deviatoric shape variation: through two Podgórski's functions. This feature allows for improving plane stress cross‐section's compatibility with experimental data.

Formation of Distance‐Based Orientation: Political Identity through Relational Positioning in Israel

Symbolic Interaction, EarlyView.
Distance‐based orientation describes how pejorative labels may serve as anchor points for political identity. Existing research on political labeling has largely emphasized stigmatization, overlooking how labels may acquire durability and orienting capacity without losing pejorative force. Drawing on publicly circulating discourse, we trace positioning

Creating a multilingual assessment ecology in the classroom

TESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Addressing the educational needs of bi/multilingual students in K‐12 classrooms, this study explores teachers' engagement with multilingualism in assessment practice. Drawing on fieldwork conducted with language and mathematics teachers in Ontario, Canada, the study generates empirical insight into teachers' development and use of multilingual

Optimizing the Effectiveness of Captioned Viewing for Incidental Second Language Vocabulary Learning: The Effects of Repeated Viewing and Reading Fluency

TESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract This study examined the effects of repeated viewing and reading fluency on incidental second language vocabulary acquisition through captioned video exposure. A total of 149 Japanese EFL learners watched a short animation with or without captions, varying in the number of repetitions (once, twice, or three times).
