Marcasite at the Permian‐Triassic Transition
Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Redirecting Excited‐State Proton Transfer Through Supramolecular Polymerization in Nanoconfinement
Supramolecular confinement redirects the excited‐state proton transfer pathway of an amphoteric emitter. In water, the molecule undergoes ESPD, whereas co‐assembly with γ‐cyclodextrin forms nanotubes that template slip‐stacked emitter pairs and enable ESIMPT. Structural and photophysical characterization of the assemblies shows that the preorganization

Opportunities of Semiconducting Oxide Nanostructures as Advanced Luminescent Materials in Photonics
The review discusses the challenges of wide and ultrawide bandgap semiconducting oxides as a suitable material platform for photonics. They offer great versatility in terms of tuning microstructure, native defects, doping, anisotropy, and micro‐ and nano‐structuring. The review focuses on their light emission, light‐confinement in optical cavities, and

We introduce a molecular strategy to assemble one‐dimensional (1D) materials into two‐dimensional (2D) van der Waals metal–organic frameworks (MOFs). Crystals of [FeX(pzX)(bpy)] (X = Cl, F) form anisotropic 2D layers that can be mechanically exfoliated into thin sheets.

Microcrystallization of Atactic Polystyrene Induced by Photooxidation Aging
Photooxidation aging, hygrothermal aging, and hot‐air aging are carried out on atactic polystyrene (aPS) samples formed by injection molding. It is interesting that microcrystals of atactic polystyrene are only found in photooxidation aging.

Controlling the protein corona formation onto carbon nanomaterials (CNMs) enhances their functionalities as platforms for cancer theranostics. Here, we reviewed the effects of the intrinsic and acquired properties of CNMs on protein corona formation, the consequent biological and toxicological outcomes, and the strategies to reshape corona formation ...

Morphology and structure of lead‐free CuSb‐based double perovskites for photocatalytic CO2 reduction
Lead‐free halide double perovskites (DPs) have attracted great attention due to their stability, nontoxicity, and good photophysical properties. Herein, environmentally friendly small‐bandgap Cs2CuSbCl6 and Cs4CuSb2Cl12 DPs microcrystals (MCs) are ...
