Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A graphene‐supported 2D metal–organic network stabilizes highly reactive Fe(I)‐N4 single sites through Co‐induced charge redistribution. Combined experiments and theory reveal Fe(I) formation, oxygen‐driven oxidation, and O2 activation mechanisms, offering a strategy to access low‐valent iron centers relevant to catalytic and biological processes ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Forming‐free epitaxial Pt/La0.5Sr0.5CoOx (LSCO)/La0.5Sr0.5MnO3 (LSMO) memristors exhibit heterogeneous and partially reversible topotactic switching involving brownmillerite (BM)‐, Grenier (GN)‐like‐, and perovskite (PV)‐like configurations. Atomic‐resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy and in situ transmission electron microscopy resolve

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Conversion‐induced sulfur expansion generates strong mechanical constraints and localized stresses within solid‐state Li‐S cathodes. Heterogeneous solid‐electrolyte confinement creates tensile strain‐energy hotspots that govern particle cracking. Larger sulfur particles accelerate fracture, while higher porosity relaxes constraint and delays damage ...

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.This study presents quantifying cell‐free DNA (cfDNA) as a non‐disruptive and rapidly quantifiable method for assessing cell death for on‐chip 3D sarcoma tumor models. On‐chip cfDNA release reflects tumor burden, extent of cell death, and survival of in vitro and ex vivo 3D models, providing valuable insight into the temporal response of tumor models ...
