The Relevance of Judicial Procedure for Economic Growth [PDF]
It has been argued that procedural formalism undermines economic efficiency by fostering rent-seeking and corruption. We challenge this view by arguing that a number of judicial procedures foster economic growth by increasing the predict-ability of court

Bistable Photochromic Guest–Host Liquid Crystals for Rewritable and Switchable Photonic Devices
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A photochromic DTCP‐based liquid crystal dye is incorporated into cholesteric liquid crystals (CLCs) to achieve optically and electrically tunable multistable states. In the open‐ring form, the system exhibits three electrically stable textures—planar, focal conic, and uniformly lying helix (ULH)—corresponding to reflective, scattering, and transparent

Microsphere Autolithography—A Scalable Approach for Arbitrary Patterning of Dielectric Spheres
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.MicroSphere Autolithography (µSAL) enables scalable fabrication of patchy particles with customizable surface motifs. Focusing light through dielectric microspheres creates well defined, tunable patches via a conformal poly(dopamine) photoresist. Nearly arbitrary surface patterns can be achieved, with the resolution set by the index contrast between ...

Single Solid‐State Ion Channels as Potentiometric Nanosensors
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Single gold nanopores functionalized with mixed self‐assembled monolayers act as solid‐state ion channels for direct, selective potentiometric sensing of inorganic ions (Ag⁺). The design overcomes key miniaturization barriers of conventional ion‐selective electrodes by combining low resistivity with suppressed loss of active components, enabling robust

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A spatiotemporal plasma–mediated laser processing approach is developed to fabricate ultrahigh–aspect ratio nanochannel arrays and corresponding perovskite nanowire arrays within transparent materials for optoelectronics devices. The laser‐fabricated nanochannels serve as templates for controlled perovskite infiltration and crystallization, enabling ...

Impact of the New Approach to Article 102 TFEU on the Enforcement of the Polish Prohibition of Dominant Position Abuse [PDF]
This paper will analyze the impact of the modernized approach to Article 102 TFEU on the application of the prohibition of dominant position abuse contained in Polish competition law. For that purpose, several questions will be answered. Has the consumer-

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A structurally integrated multiscale hierarchical metamaterial composite (MHMC), inspired by the synergistic architecture of reinforced concrete, achieves simultaneous enhancement of thermal, electromagnetic, and mechanical functionalities. By combining a carbon black‐based mechanical metamaterial with a porosity‐graded cellulose acetate aerogel, this ...

The Effect of Amino Acids on the Formation of Amorphous Calcium Carbonate Nanoparticles
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Biomineral formation often proceeds via the assembly of amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) nanoparticles with narrow size distributions. Using in situ SAXS coupled to a stopped‐flow device, we follow synthetic ACC formation with a 10 ms time resolution and show that amino acids narrow the size distribution at low supersaturation, highlighting their key ...
