Anomalous Stiffening of a Conjugated Polymer During Electrochemical Oxidation
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.The electromechanical response of a thienothiophene‐based conjugated polymer with triethylene glycol side chains is investigated. Electrochemical nanoindentation and atomic force microscopy reveal a modest and reversible increase in elastic modulus at room temperature upon electrochemical oxidation.

Sebum Components Dampen the Efficacy of Skin Disinfectants against Cutibacterium acnes Biofilms
MicroorganismsAt Canadian Blood Services, despite the use of 2% chlorhexidine and 70% isopropyl alcohol (standard disinfectant, SD) prior to venipuncture, Cutibacterium acnes evades eradication and is a major contaminant of platelet concentrates (PCs). Since C.

s‐Orbital Mediated Metavalent Bonding Enables State‐Of‐The‐Art n‐Type AgBiSe2 Thermoelectrics
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Metavalent bonding (MVB) underpins the exceptional property portfolio of chalcogenides. Typical MVB solids are mainly found in p‐bonded systems. This work reveals that MVB can also be formed with s‐p orbital interactions upon forming a single‐electron σ‐bond, as exemplified in AgBiSe2.

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.The seminal transformation of a 2D‐COF (SURFCOF‐IMDEA1) into a 2D porous COF (SURFCOF‐IMDEA2) on Au(111) by a sequential C‐C coupling and ladderization triggered by thermal annealing steps at increasing temperatures is reported. Abstract The development of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) is currently a primary objective in materials science, taking ...

Backlogs are a dynamic system, not a warehousing problem
Forensic Science International: Synergy, 2020 Addressing casework backlogs would seem to represent “low hanging fruit” for increasing offender apprehension and improving justice. Yet, after years of grant funding for backlog reduction and capacity building, backlogged cases, especially DNA cases ...
