Biomass DNA: An Emerging Building Block for Advanced Materials
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Biomass DNA is rapidly emerging from its traditional role as a genetic blueprint to serve as a versatile abundant, highly programmable polymeric building block. This review highlights the transformation of macroscopic bulk biomass DNA into next generation of functional materials, spanning from dynamic hydrogels, sustainable bioplastics, and high ...

Countering the Counterpublics: Progovernment Online Media and Public Opinion in Hong Kong
International Journal of Communication, 2021 Many studies have illustrated how digital media can facilitate political criticisms and protests, but recent scholarship has noted the ability of authoritarian states to control the Internet and undermine its oppositional character.

Wood‐Derived Nanocellulose‐Biocarbon Fresnel‐Zone Plate Lenses for Sub‐THz Frequency Applications
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Wood‐derived nanocellulose and lignin‐based biocarbon were combined to fabricate fully bio‐based Fresnel zone plate (FZP) lenses for sub‐terahertz frequencies. These sustainable FZP lenses exhibit low dielectric loss and high directivity, achieving performance comparable to that of metallic references, and remain functional under environmental stress ...

3D Printed Photon Shield Assembly for Low‐Noise Visual Stimulation During Two‐Photon Imaging in Mice
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.We present the Photon Shield, an open‐hardware system for low‐noise two‐photon calcium imaging during visual stimulation in mice. Combining a 3D‐printed headplate and rail‐mounted shield substantially reduces stray‐light contamination, as quantitatively verified. Functional validation confirms reliable cortical responses. Open design files enable broad

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Dense tactile streams from across the humanoid body converge on collide in a central wiring and data bottleneck. By relocating computation closer to and then into the skin itself, near‐ and in‐sensor architectures, together with neuromorphic computing, chart a path toward perception‐native electronic skin, in which the conversion of stimulus into ...

Dynamic Fluorescence Modulation via Light‐Driven Competitive Protonation
Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.A two‐component molecular system demonstrates reversible, light‐driven fluorescence write–erase cycling and thermal imaging. Illumination of a merocyanine photoacid transfers a proton to a highly efficient fluorescent pyridinium dye, switching its emission color; thermal relaxation reverses the process in the dark.

Inverse Optical Contrast in Metastable GeTe2: An Anomaly Enabling Low‐Loss Phase Change Photonics
Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.An anomalous optical phase inversion in GeTe2$\mathrm{GeTe_{2}}$ provides a new platform for low‐loss non‐volatile integrated photonics at 1550 nm. The transition from the amorphous state (1) to a metastable vdW−GeTe2$\mathrm{vdW-GeTe_{2}}$ crystalline phase (2) is driven by bandgap widening, resulting in a negative refractive index change (Δn$\Delta ...

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.A soft robotic simulator is developed to replicate the digital removal of feces (DRF), a sensitive yet essential nursing procedure. Integrating soft actuators, sensors, and a realistic rectal model, the simulator balances functional fidelity with perceptual realism. Engineering evaluations and nurse feedback confirm its potential to enhance training in

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Amphiphilic chloroazobenzenes, bearing different amino acids as end groups alanine, phenylalanine, and valine, exhibit excellent photoisomerizations. Varying structures of three amino acid groups participate in supramolecular formations and therefore photoinduced morphological transformations via adjusting intermolecular interactions. These interaction

Degradable Magnetic Composites from Recycled NdFeB Magnets for Soft Actuation and Sensing
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This work presents a degradable soft magnetic composite made from recycled NdFeB particles embedded in a gelatin‐based organogel. The material is processed into magnetic sensors and soft robotic components, which can later be dissolved in a green solvent to recover NdFeB magnetic particles.
