Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Significant nanoscale oxygen diffusion coefficient variations are measured in ferroelectric hafnium zirconium oxide films with grain boundaries and electrode interfaces exhibiting values 104 times larger than the grain cores. Overall coefficients are 10X larger for films prepared with metal nitride electrodes compared to refractory metals. New insights

Glissile Interphase Boundaries Enable Collective Phase Switching in Epitaxial Polar Oxides
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A triple point is identified in the phase diagram of low‐symmetry epitaxial BiFeO3 thin film along with an extended regime of phase competition associated with a flattened energy landscape. The electromechanical response is shown to be governed by correlated interphase‐boundary motion, including scale‐free avalanche dynamics characteristic of systems ...

Chiral Phase Change Nanomaterials
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This work demonstrates reversible, non‐volatile phase transitions in chiral Ge2${\rm Ge}_2$Sb2${\rm Sb}_2$Te5${\rm Te}_5$ (GST) nanohelices for high‐speed optical modulation of chirality and dynamic control of the state of polarization (SOP). The chiral nanostructures are fabricated using a highly directional, wafer‐scale physical vapor deposition ...

Bio‐Inspired Synthesis of Macroporous Single Crystal Particles as Scattering Agents
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A general strategy is presented that delivers unique, single‐crystal microparticles that combine submicron macroporosity and uniform particle shapes. A bioinspired approach is used to occlude three distinct types of additives – polystyrene microspheres, polymer vesicles and amino acids – within calcite single crystals, and subsequent thermal annealing ...

Demonstrating Vibrational Current Generation With a Self‐Assembled Bioelectret
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Vacuum‐deposited films of the plant‐derived molecule, Baicalein, form a self‐assembled bioelectret exhibiting spontaneous orientation polarization and a giant surface potential. The films induce alternating current during the vibration of a movable electrode without charging treatments. Hydrocarbon protection enhances the air stability of the Baicalein

Ruminant castration practices: methods, timing, outcomes, and complications
Castration, also referred to as orchidectomy, is the removal of testicles in male animals. It is among the oldest and most practiced surgical procedures in livestock management. In ruminants castration is commonly performed for behavioral control, meat quality improvement, reproductive management, and easier handling.
