Monolayer Amorphous Carbon: Unlocking Disorder‐Induced Lithiophilicity
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Atomic‐scale disorder in monolayer amorphous carbon generates abundant Li binding sites. Combined contact angle, electrochemical, and Density Functional Theory analyses show how this broad distribution of binding energies lowers the contact angle to around 30°, reduces the nucleation overpotential, and yields uniform lithium deposition.

Repurposing of Chemokine Antagonists for Combined Phase‐Resolved Spinal Cord Injury Treatment
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Spinal cord injury (SCI) in mammals is accompanied by a massive cytokine storm in cerebrospinal fluid, mainly driven by CXCL1, IL‐6, and CCL2‐5. Sub‐acute phase is mostly associated with IL‐2, IL‐7, CCL22, and CX3CL1, whereas TNFα and IL17α permanently persists in CNS even weeks following SCI.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Conventional excited‐state proton transfer (ESPT) theories explain the kinetics of fluorescent photoacids, but face challenges for weakly or nonfluorescent ones. This missing link is bridged by making and dissecting series of green fluorescent protein chromophore derivatives with varied photoacidities via strategic substitutions. Structure‐photoacidity

From a restricted to full linguistic space: an ‘affirmative action’ strategy for the Udmurt language [PDF]
, 2013 This study analyzes the long-term reasons why Udmurt occupies a restricted linguistic space in the post-Soviet state – the low status of Udmurt, due to Soviet language and other policies; urbanization; population shifts; myths and stereotypes about ...

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.Organic field‐effect transistor gas sensors were investigated using periodic transfer curves and transient current measurements with pulsed voltages. Their sensitivity was found to depend on the measurement routine, allowing us to propose a detection mechanism.
