Hole Polaronic Confinement in (111) Yttria‐Stabilised Zirconia
Ultrathin epitaxial YSZ(111) films unexpectedly develop p‐type mixed conduction and amplified electromechanical coupling under oxidizing conditions. Combined transport measurements and first‐principles modeling reveal that nanoscale confinement and ordered dopant–vacancy complexes stabilize localized O 2p hole polarons at the surface. A canonical ionic

Electrospray ion beam deposition (ES‐IBD) of an Fe(II) [2 × 2] grid complex onto Ag(111) reveals landing energy‐dependent fragmentation and self‐assembly. At higher landing energies, novel coordination networks emerge. This study highlights the unique potential of ES‐IBD in creating diverse metal–organic architectures on surfaces.

Compact tape‐driven sample delivery system for serial femtosecond crystallography
A tape‐driven liquid sample droplet delivery system for serial femtosecond crystallography is described.We have developed a compact tape drive (CoT) with on‐demand sample delivery for time‐resolved serial femtosecond crystallography (SFX) experiments, which can deliver sample droplets and/or initiate reactions with a drop‐on‐drop strategy.

Hydraulic In Vitro Characterization of MR‐Conditional Blood Pumps
Cardiac surgery in neonates requires close placement of cardiopulmonary bypass machines due to limited blood volume, complicating MR compatibility. This study introduces three MR‐conditional blood pump prototypes. None interfered with MRI imaging, though RF‐related sensor effects remain untested.
