Visualizing Empire in Africa: Postage Stamps and Stationery Letterheads as Sites of Affiliation and Subversion

African Studies Quarterly
Before the website and the text emoji, the postage stamp and the letterhead adorned written communications. The expansion of the post created a system in which the British Empire (like other states and empires), through these forms, was lent visual ...

Light‐Responsive Enzyme‐Loaded Nanoparticles for Tunable Adhesion and Mechanical Wound Contraction

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents a photoactivatable enzyme‐loaded mesoporous nanoparticle system (MPDA_PaTy) that enables light‐triggered tunable tissue adhesion and facilitates mechanical wound contraction. Controlled enzymatic crosslinking at tissue or hydrogel interfaces allows on‐demand adhesion.

A 3D Biofabricated Disease Model Mimicking the Brain Extracellular Matrix Suitable to Characterize Intrinsic Neuronal Network Alterations in the Presence of a Breast Tumor Disseminated to the Brain

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A 3D disease model is developed using customized hyaluronic‐acid‐based hydrogels supplemented with extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins resembling brain ECM properties. Neurons, astrocytes, and tumor cells are used to mimic the native brain surrounding.

Ultrahigh Strength with Suppressed Flow Instability at Liquid Helium Temperature via Coherent Nanoprecipitation in a Medium‐Entropy Alloy

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
It is demonstrated that severe lattice distortion and coherent nanoprecipitates overcome the strength–ductility dilemma and mitigate discontinuous plastic flow (DPF) at 4.2 K. Such microstructural design enhances both thermal and athermal stress components, leading to exceptional mechanical performance.

THE CONTINUOUS POSTAGE STAMP PROBLEM [PDF]

Journal of the London Mathematical Society, 2006
For a real set $A$ consider the semigroup $S(A)$, additively generated by $A$; that is, the set of all real numbers representable as a (finite) sum of elements of $A$. If $A \subset (0,1)$ is open and non-empty, then $S(A)$ is easily seen to contain all sufficiently large real numbers, and we let $G(A) := \sup \{u \in R \colon u \notin S(A) \}$. Thus, $

Peptide Sequencing With Single Acid Resolution Using a Sub‐Nanometer Diameter Pore

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
To sequence a single molecule of Aβ1−42–sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), the aggregate is forced through a sub‐nanopore 0.4 nm in diameter spanning a 4.0 nm thick membrane. The figure is a visual molecular dynamics (VMD) snapshot depicting the translocation of Aβ1−42–SDS through the pore; only the peptide, the SDS, the Na+ (yellow/green) and Cl− (cyan ...
