Low‐Flicker‐Noise MoS2 Transistors Enabled by High‐κ Rare‐Earth Oxychlorides for Mixed‐Signal Electronics

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Single‐crystalline LaOCl and GdOCl form atomically abrupt, Cl‐terminated interfaces with MoS2, enabling near‐ideal switching and suppressed flicker noise. Carrier‐number‐fluctuation analysis yields effective noise‐derived interface trap densities of 1.15–1.94 × 1010 cm−2 eV−1, approaching hexagonal boron nitride levels with high‐κ coupling.

A Nonlinear Organic Low‐Frequency Sound Sensor Based on Electrochemical Coupling in a Solidified Gel Membrane

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A novel nonlinear infrasound sensor concept based on a free‐standing ion conductive gel membrane is introduced. Acoustic signals are directly transduced into an electrical signal using an internal application mechanisms (gating). The nonlinearity might be used for neuromorphic in‐sensor computing. ABSTRACT Measuring low‐frequency or infrasound acoustic

Selective Mortality or Growth after Childhood? What Really is Key to Understand the Puzzlingly Tall Adult Heights in Sub-Saharan Africa [PDF]

open access: yes
Sub-Sahara African populations are tall relative to the extremely adverse disease environment and their low incomes. Selective mortality, which removes shorter individuals leaving taller individuals in the population, was proposed as an explanation. From

Nonlinear growth generates age changes in the moments of the frequency distribution: the example of height in puberty [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Higher moments of the frequency distribution of child height and weight change with age, particularly during puberty, though why is not known. Our aims were to confirm that height skewness and kurtosis change with age during puberty, to devise a model to

Material Coupling in Hybrid Neuromorphic Devices: From Fundamentals to System‐Level Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Hybrid neuromorphic devices utilize heterointerfaces between emerging semiconductors, where charge transfer and trapping, ion or defect modulation, and photogating are translated into synaptic functions. This paper discusses coupling strategies that tailor interfacial electronic and ionic properties in organic semiconductors, metal oxides, two ...

Hydrogel‐Based Method for High‐Resolution Measurements of Contact Mechanics in Rapid Biological Adhesives: A Case Study in Cuttlefish Tentacle Strikes

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Cuttlefish and squid can catch their prey within milliseconds using specialized tentacles and suckers. The physics of how the suckers can attach so quickly has remained a mystery given the technical challenges of studying them in vivo. In this publication, we develop a hydrogel that retains imprints of the suckers in order to estimate the forces they ...

Architected Bio‐Based Iontronic Skin With Dual‐Mode Pressure and Strain Sensing

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bio‐based acrylates in combination with an ionic liquid create 3D‐printed ionogels with compositionally tuneable mechanics and ionic conductivity. Gyroid architectures amplify low‐pressure sensitivity while preserving robust strain sensing, enabling dual‐mode detection of pressure and deformation.

High‐Modulus Skeleton‐Reinforced PDMS Microstamps for Precision Transfer Printing of Microscale Devices

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Elastomeric micropillars bend under contact loading, sliding microscale devices out of alignment during transfer printing. A hybrid PDMS stamp embeds a high‐modulus skeleton within each pillar while retaining a compliant contact surface. The reinforcement confines pillar deformation, suppressing interfacial sliding and preserving array registration on ...

Causes and Consequences of Early Life Health [PDF]

open access: yes
We examine the consequences of childhood health for economic and health outcomes in adulthood, using height as a marker of health in childhood. After reviewing previous evidence, we present a conceptual framework that highlights data limitations and ...
