Whistleblower Protections Under Federal Law: An Overview [PDF]
, 2012 [Excerpt] Legal protections for employees who report illegal misconduct by their employers have increased dramatically since the late 1970s when such protections were first adopted for federal employees in the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978. Since that

Advanced Science, EarlyView.A “de‐doping” strategy positions mixed protonic–electronic conductors (MPECs) as adaptive neuromorphic platforms with dynamically tunable transport. Co‐BAND achieves giant conductivity modulation (>106) and chemically tunable synaptic plasticity. Analogous to biological neuromodulation, solvent vapors dynamically reprogram the device's learning rules ...

Quantum Nanomedicine and Quantum Biomaterials
Advanced Science, EarlyView.In this perspective, we define quantum nanomedicine and quantum biomaterials as a paradigm that harnesses quantum effects in nanomedicine and biomaterials, including quantum superposition, quantum coherence, quantum tunneling, topological quantum effects, and spin polarization, to achieve either spatiotemporally precise modulation of physiological ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This work constructed a tandem W−N−C center to simultaneously achieve the regulation of reaction pathways and optimization of charge separation efficiency. The Lewis‐acidic W6+ sites activated O2 to generate O2−$O_2^ - $, with enhanced charge separation via electronic modulation, steering U(VI) reduction down an efficient radical pathway.

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.III‐nitride semiconductors have revolutionized optoelectronics, enabling transformative technologies such as high‐efficiency LEDs and lasers. However, their use in intersubband optoelectronics has remained limited. This work marks an important step forward by demonstrating highly coherent inter‐well resonant tunneling injection in III‐nitride ...
