Microneedle‐Based Biofertilizer Delivery Improves Plant Growth Through Microbiome Engineering
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This figure shows how microneedles are used to deliver biofertilizers to enhance plant growth through microbial migration, metabolic reprogramming, and changes in plant endogenous microbiome. Abstract This study presents a microneedle‐based system for the delivery of rhizospheric biofertilizers into plant tissues to enhance growth.

Structural Porosity and Low Mineral Density in Enamel Rods Drive Molar Incisor Hypomineralisation
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This study uses advanced imaging modalities on multiple length scales to show that molar‐incisor hypomineralization does not present as a locally homogeneous pathology. Instead, microstructural defects, characterized through non‐mineralized, protein‐rich sheaths and an altered mineral structure in between prism rods, resulting in local differences in ...

Scalable Thermal Engineering via Femtosecond Laser‐Direct‐Written Phononic Nanostructures
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This study demonstrates that femtosecond laser‐induced periodic surface structures (fs‐LIPSS) can function as phononic metasurfaces, reducing thermal conductivity below the plain thin‐film limit. Phonon Monte Carlo analysis reveals that the periodic structures restrict phonon mean free paths.
