Local Thermal Conductivity Patterning in Rotating Lattice Crystals of Anisotropic Sb2S3
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Microscale control of thermal conductivity in Sb2S3 is demonstrated via laser‐induced rotating lattice crystals. Thermal conductivity imaging reveals marked thermal transport anisotropy, with the c axis featuring amorphous‐like transport, whereas in‐plane directions (a, b) exhibit 3.5x and 1.7x larger thermal conductivity.

Chemoselective Sequential Polymerization: An Approach Toward Mixed Plastic Waste Recycling
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Inspired by biological protein metabolism, this study demonstrates the closed‐loop recycling of mixed synthetic polymers via ring‐closing depolymerization followed by a chemoselective sequential polymerizations process. The approach recovers pure polymers from mixed feedstocks, even in multilayer formats, highlighting a promising strategy to overcome a

Thickness‐Dependent Skyrmion Evolution in Fe3GeTe2 During Magnetization Reversal
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Thickness‐ and field‐dependent magnetic domain behavior in 2D van der Waals Fe3GeTe2 is studied using Lorentz TEM and micromagnetic simulations. A patch‐like domain phase evolves from skyrmions during magnetization reversal, and step edges between thickness regions act as pinning sites.
