Zn(C2H4NO2)2(SO2CH3NH2)2 and Zn(C2H4NO2)2[SO2(NH2)2]: Regulation of Unique ZnO(C2H4NO2)2 Units by Polar Tetrahedrons for Balanced UV Nonlinear Optical Performance

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The modulation of polar tetrahedra enabled the synthesis of an outstanding short‐wave UV NLO crystal, Zn(C2H4NO2)2[SO2(NH2)2], which achieves a rare balance of a large bandgap (5.93 eV), high birefringence (Δn = 0.126 at 546 nm), and strong SHG response (1.36 × KDP), especially achieving excellent phase‐matching throughout the full transparency range ...

Unraveling the Power of Disorder: A Bioinspired Cuttlebone Structure With Superior Strength, Energy Absorption and Isotropy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Cuttlebone‐inspired architected metamaterials introduce controlled structural disorder to simultaneously enhance strength, energy absorption, and compressive stability. Tunable disorder suppresses shear anisotropy, outperforms periodic lattices, and establishes discrete randomness as a robust route to high‐performance lightweight mechanical ...

Nature, socioeconomics and adaptation to natural disasters: new evidence from floods [PDF]

The authors analyze the determinants of fatalities in 2,194 large flood events in 108 countries between 1985 and 2008. Given that socioeconomic factors can affect mortality right in the aftermath of a flood, but also indirectly by influencing flood ...

H2S‐Amplified “Three‐in‐One” Antibacterial Strategy for Periodontitis Treatment Using a Photosensitive Pillararene‐Embedded COF/MOF Hybrid

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The integration of ROS‐generating systems with H2S depletion strategies effectively overcomes the limitations imposed by endogenous antioxidant defenses on ROS‐based antimicrobial therapies. In this study, the Cu‐MOF is incorporated into pillararene‐embedded COF, achieving a “three‐in‐one” antimicrobial effect that markedly alleviated periodontal ...

Deep Impact: Geo-Simulations as a Policy Toolkit for Natural Disasters

World Development, 2017
Adverse post-natural disaster outcomes in low-income regions, like elevated internal migration levels and low consumption levels, are the result of market failures, poor mechanisms for stabilizing income, and missing insurance markets, which force the affected population to respond, and adapt to the shock they face.

A Folded, Structure‐Integrated Bimodal Sensor Enabling Non‐Contact and Tactile Perception for Intelligent Robots

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A foldable bimodal sensor integrates a triboelectric nanogenerator and graphene piezoresistive effect into a monolithic laser‐induced graphene film. It enables synchronous non‐contact and tactile perception, achieving a distance of 110 mm, a sensitivity of 11.2 kPa−1, and a response time of 10 ms.
