Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Janus (MoS2) transistors functionalized with sodium alginate (SA) and poly(vinylidene fluoride‐co‐trifluoroethylene) [P(VDF‐TrFE)] exhibit persistent photo‐induced ionic gating, driven by dynamic cation migration at the hybrid interface. This ionic mechanism enables finely tunable photoconductivity and emulates key synaptic plasticity behaviors ...

Transparent Exopolymer Particles (TEP): an overlooked factor in the process of biofilm formation in aquatic environments [PDF]
, 2007 We hypothesize that transparent exopolymer particles (TEP), present in high concentrations in most sea and freshwaters, are critical agents for biofilm initiation and development in many natural and anthropogenic aquatic environments.

Smart Nanogels as Enzyme‐Driven Nanomotors for Navigating Viscous Physiological Barriers
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Two families of urease‐powered nanomotors (NMs), with and without a p‐(2‐hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (p‐HEMA) shell, have been successfully prepared. Both types exhibit effective motion in highly viscous synovial fluid media at low urea concentrations (25 mM).

Geochemical analysis of Cenozoic fossil conifers at high latitudes: Implications for molecular preservation and environmental change [PDF]
, 2010 Fossil materials record ancient life and their adapted environment. Arctic plant fossils are critical for our understanding of the Earth’s paleoenvironment when high latitudes were under ice-free conditions.

Anisotropic Shear Properties of Organic Interfaces in Bio‐composite Materials
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A novel cantilever design enables direct probing of shear properties at single organic interfaces within biocomposite prismatic ultrastructures. By decoupling lateral and torsional shear responses, the method reveals isotropic behavior in Atrina vexillum and pronounced anisotropy in Unio pictorum.
