Role of Structural Disorder on Phonon Transport and Thermal Conductivity in Li6PS5Br

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Solid electrolytes are fast ion and slow heat conductors. Although both transport properties are governed by lattice dynamics and atomic structure, their interplay remains poorly understood. Here, we study this interrelation in anion‐ordered and disordered Li6PS5Br.

Utilizing the Metastability of Spidroins as a Strategy for Improving Mechanical Properties of Biomimetic Spider Silk Fibers

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Phase transitions are central for the assembly of recombinant silk proteins into fibers. Soluble protein can transition into condensed states such as condensates and gels. These states are metastable and evolve in a time‐dependent way. Metastability depends on the protein sequence, and this relationship can be used to enhance the mechanical properties ...

Dynamic Observation of Lacy Pattern Formation in a Bone Tissue Model Using Liquid Phase Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Here, we establish a low‐dose liquid‐phase electron microscopy workflow for real‐time observation of biological processes in hydrated conditions. Beam damage is reduced by imaging only 20% of the pixels and reconstructing the complete image using an inpainting algorithm.

Unexpected Asymmetric Mn‐Sb Site Mixing and Reentrant Spin‐Glass State of MnSb2Te4

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
MnSb2Te4 is an intrinsic magnetic topological insulator. Its properties are extraordinarily sensitive to tiny defects, making structural studies essential for understanding how magnetism and topology work together. This work shows that Mn can be unevenly distributed within the crystal and how that disorder is linked to a newly reported spin‐glass state

GeS as an Emerging OTS Material: Atomic Structure and Modeling of ON/OFF Switching

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The structural puzzle of glassy GeS, an advanced memory‐selector material, has finally been disentangled, revealing a patchwork of mixed tetrahedral and trigonal species. Under a high electric field, over‐ and under‐coordinated Ge and S defects, together with three‐membered rings, form an interconnected network associated with localized and extended ...

APTES‐Mediated Ti‐Squarate MOF/n‐GaN Nanowire Photoanodes for Efficient Photoelectrochemical Water Splitting

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The APTES linker establishes a permanent interfacial dipole, reducing the work function of n‐GaN from 3.55 to 3.29 eV. This strengthens the built‐in electric field, significantly accelerating hole extraction to drive the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Ultimately, this tailored charge‐separation architecture achieves a remarkable 4.78‐fold enhancement
