Coordinated Architectural and Chemical Reinforcement in the Crushing Mandible of a Soldier Termite
The crushing mandible of a soldier termite withstands substantial biting loads despite lacking mineral. Its cuticle is partitioned: convex teeth pair hardness and zinc enrichment with aligned chitin fibers for contact durability, while stiffer concave regions between teeth carry bending loads.

Coupling of mGluR/Homer and PSD-95 complexes by the Shank family of postsynaptic density proteins.
Shank is a recently described family of postsynaptic proteins that function as part of the NMDA receptor-associated PSD-95 complex (Naisbitt et al., 1999 [this issue of Neuron]). Here, we report that Shank proteins also bind to Homer. Homer proteins form

PSD-95 and PSD-93 Play Critical But Distinct Roles in Synaptic Scaling Up and Down
Synaptic scaling stabilizes neuronal firing through the homeostatic regulation of postsynaptic strength, but the mechanisms by which chronic changes in activity lead to bidirectional adjustments in synaptic AMPA receptor (AMPAR) abundance are ...

Inverse Design of Nanoparticulate Materials
Inverse design shifts nanomaterial development from empirical trial‐and‐error to predictive model‐driven strategies. It can rely on knowledge‐based, data‐based, or hybrid process and property functions. This perspective article provides a practical framework for applying inverse design based on instructive examples. It discusses which modeling approach

Helicity‐Defined Analog Conductance States in Chiral Perovskite Synapses
Chiral perovskite synapses convert the handedness of circularly polarized light into persistent analog memory during electrical programming. An optimized n = 3 structure combines strong helicity selectivity with low read noise, enabling 72 distinct conductance levels.
