Bioinspired Adaptive Surfaces for Intelligent Liquid Manipulation: Progressing From Passive and Active to Hybrid Strategies

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
This review examines passive, active, and hybrid liquid manipulation strategies, highlighting hybrid approaches as an emerging route to reconcile energy efficiency with adaptive control. By actively reconstructing passive surfaces to store programmable interfacial energy, hybrid systems enable flexible yet low‐power liquid transport, with perspectives ...

Unlocking Terahertz Steganography: Authentication of Hidden Images in Flexible Media

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Hidden information in multilayered devices, such as steganographic portraits, is detected and authenticated using reflection‐mode terahertz time‐domain imaging. Image reconstruction relies on a dedicated figure‐of‐merit obtained by integrating the signal intensity over the time‐window associated with the reflection from the metallic mirror backing the ...

Morphological and morphometric aspects of the equine aortic valve: New insights for comparative studies in mammals

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract New data on the equine aortic valve obtained using advanced techniques is especially important given the greater availability of animal models for translational research. Here we characterized the morphological and morphometric aspects of the equine aortic valve from 60 healthy hearts collected at equine abattoirs.

A Family Affair: War, Agency and Female Epistolary Networks in Renaissance Italy

open access: yesGender &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article draws on the largely unexplored epistolary archive of dozens of women who were born or married into military families in northern Italy around the time of the first phase of the Italian Wars (1494–1530). Building on recent work on early modern agency, patriarchy, networks and emotional communities, the article reconstructs and ...

Similar or Different? Configurations of Authenticity Across Museum Types

open access: yesCurator: The Museum Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Authenticity is traditionally regarded as playing a crucial role in museums, science centers, and memorials. However, despite this fact, authenticity has very different meanings in different (institutional) settings. This complicates shared communications across museum practices.

Ultrafast hot electron dynamics in plasmonic nanostructures: experiments, modelling, design

open access: yesNanophotonics, 2023
Metallic nanostructures exhibit localized surface plasmons (LSPs), which offer unprecedented opportunities for advanced photonic materials and devices. Following resonant photoexcitation, LSPs quickly dephase, giving rise to a distribution of energetic ...

Artifex Ars Cartographica: Collaboration Between Portuguese Painters and Cartographers in the Fifteenth and Sixteenth Centuries

open access: yesRenaissance Studies, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT During the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, there was no statutory difference between cartography, drawing and painting. These activities were performed then by craftsmen who were part of a vast group under the umbrella of ‘mechanical arts’ and fell under the ‘artifex’ category. Artifex were experts in any particular art, whether a craftsman,

Questioning the Foundations of Research Methodologies in Nursing: A Reflection Based on Problematology

open access: yesNursing Philosophy, Volume 27, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Since its expansion in the 1980s, nursing research has aimed to develop knowledge to produce evidence‐based results that can help nurses to guide and improve decision‐making regarding patient care. Nursing research is based on a rigorous methodology that meets the criteria determined by the scientific method.
