Intracrystalline Void‐Mediated Toughening of Brittle Crystals in Quail Eggshells
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.In quail eggshells, the high density and disordered arrangement of intracrystalline voids inhibit lattice cleavage, suppress long‐range crack propagation, and promote deformation twinning and quasi‐plasticity, serving as an essential toughening motif. We show that these voids remain within a narrow subcritical size range and therefore predominantly do ...

Local generalised method of moments: an application to point process-based rainfall models [PDF]
, 2015 Long series of simulated rainfall are required at point locations for a range of applications, including hydrological studies. Clustered point process-based rainfall models have been used for generating such simulations for many decades.

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.This review summarizes moisture‐adaptive strategies that enable triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) to operate across diverse moisture conditions. It examines moisture‐management methods, including exclusion, directional transport, removal, and utilization, with charge‐regulation approaches based on interfacial, dielectric, and structural engineering.

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Nanoimprint lithography can replicate complex 3D microstructures with undercuts using single‐layer polymer stamps of different elasticities. By combining experiments and simulations, T‐shaped geometries and suitable undercut radii were identified that minimize stress and defects during demolding.
