Functional polymer materials containing heavy group‐14 elements focusing on germanium and tin
The synthesis, functions, and applications of the polymers containing heavy group 14 elements focusing on germanium and tin are outlined. Owing to their large atomic radii and weak binding energies, the polymers show unique properties: chromism, luminescence, carrier mobility, and reactivity to produce radials and higher coordinated states.

Single‐walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) are promising for a wide range of applications. In particular, their exceptional electrical conductivity positions them as potential alternatives to traditional metal conductors. This review identifies the key mechanisms governing their conductivity within composites and proposes practical pathways for translating

Micropatterned Surfaces with Unidirectional Wetting Properties for Liquid Transport
Micropatterned surfaces that guide droplets in a single direction are gaining attention for their role in liquid transport. This review explores how surface designs enable such behavior, from gravity‐driven flow to stimulus‐responsive movement. It also discusses fabrication techniques, design challenges, and emerging strategies to advance directional ...

ABSTRACT The curd is a unique indeterminate inflorescence structure, which is the most important edible organ of broccoli. Premature bolting of the curd is a major factor that limits the yield and marketability of broccoli. However, the formation and development of broccoli curd, especially the bolting of curd, remain poorly understood.

Thermal Phase‐Modulation of Thickness‐Dependent CVD‐Grown 2D In2Se3
A comprehensive study of CVD‐grown 2D In2Se3 reveals a distinct thickness‐dependent phase landscape and a reversible, thermally driven transformation between β″ and β* variants. In situ TEM electron diffraction and Raman spectroscopy reveal structural dynamics, while the structural invariance of the α‐phase in ultrathin regimes highlights its stability—
