The Economics of Interchange Fees and Their Regulation: An Overview [PDF]

open access: yes
This essay surveys the economic literature on interchange fees and the debate over whether interchange should be regulated and, if so, how. We consider, first, the operation of unitary payment systems, like American Express, in the context of the recent ...

Atmospheric Water Harvesting Through Polymer Hydrogel Sorbents: Materials Chemistry, Design Strategies, and Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Polymer‐based hydrogels have emerged as promising materials for atmospheric water harvesting (AWH) due to their high water affinity, tunable network structure, and excellent moisture adsorption‐desorption performance. Functional hydrogel systems enable efficient water capture and controlled release under low‐energy conditions, offering a sustainable ...

Controlled Lattice Distortion and Lattice‐Strain‐Engineered CoCuIr Alloy toward Preferential Chlorine Tolerant Direct Seawater Electrolysis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A lattice‐strain‐engineered Co0.28Cu0.67Ir0.05 trimetallic alloy nanoparticle electrocatalyst is rationally designed for efficient alkaline seawater electrolysis. Larger Ir atoms in the CoCu lattice modulate the local coordination environment, generating compressive lattice strain and highly active catalytic sites.

Unveiling Anisotropic in‐Plane Thermal Conductivity and Thermal Expansion Coefficient in Low‐Symmetry Few‐Layer ReS2

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Simultaneous two‐mode Raman thermometry reveals strong in‐plane anisotropic thermal conductivity and thermal expansion coefficients in low‐symmetry few‐layer ReS2. By decoupling thermal transport along the crystallographic a‐ and b‐axes within a single optical configuration, this study provides robust experimental evidence and ab initio theoretical ...

A New Ordered Transformation‐Induced Plasticity Enables Exceptional Strength and Ductility in a B2 Medium‐Entropy Alloy

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A novel B2‐ordered Ti‐Zr‐V‐Al medium‐entropy intermetallic is developed through controlled metastability engineering, which activates an ordered TRIP effect via a new B2→D019‐α2 transformation with a distinctive {0001}α2//{110}B2, <11‐20>α2//<100>B2 orientation relationship. This alloy achieves an elongation of ∼7%, a strength of ∼1.1 GPa, and superior

A Versatile DNA‐Encoded Library Platform for the Discovery of Highly Cooperative Chemical Inducers of Proximity

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
We present a versatile DNA‐encoded library (DEL) platform designed for rapid library synthesis and subsequent screening for chemical inducers of proximity (CIPs) across various presenter proteins of choice. Applying this approach, we discovered a novel molecular glue‐like compound mediating CRBN‐BRD9 ternary complex formation with remarkable ...

Nascent Extracellular Matrix Converts Biomaterial Cues into Cell Fate Decisions

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study uncovers a tri‐directional interplay among cells, hydrogels, and their nascent extracellular matrix. Hydrogel norbornene modification alters CD44‐mediated cell–hydrogel interactions, which shape nascent matrix deposition, composition, and spatial organization.
