Sticker Valence Governs Chain Collapse and Liquid‐Liquid Phase Separation in Peptide‐Inspired Associative Polymers

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Peptide‐inspired associative polymers with arginine‐like guanidinium stickers and lysine‐like ammonium spacers undergo chain collapse and liquid‐liquid phase separation induced by reversible sticker associations. Sticker valence and tunable association strength jointly control the phase behavior, chain conformation, and interfacial cohesion of these ...

Theoretical and experimental characterization of single-screw expanders for ORC applications

, 2017
Medium to low grade waste heat recovery from industrial processes is of particular interest to address both environmental concerns and the need of more efficient thermal systems. Organic Rankine cycles (ORCs) have been demonstrated to be a viable solution to convert waste heat into valuable electric power.

Rapid Photogelation of Low‐Concentration Polymer Solutions via Photodimerization of o‐Ethylnitrobenzene

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Upon UV irradiation, flexible and tough hydrogels are formed rapidly (>0.5 s) from dilute (>0.5 wt%) solutions of o‐ethylnitrobenzene–modified PVA. At ∼1.5 wt%, the hydrogels withstand up to 10 MPa compression, remain handleable even after 200‐fold swelling.

Herbivory‐Induced Stomatal Opening Triggers the Dispersal of an Invasive Insect Herbivore

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The invasive leafminer Phthorimaea absoluta uniquely manipulates plant defenses by inducing stomatal opening in tomato. This response, mediated by the stomatal regulator IQM1, enhances the release of the repellent volatile benzaldehyde. This volatile triggers the dispersal of adult moths, facilitates colonization of new hosts, and leads to rapid ...

Topology‐Enabled Finite‐Band Absorption Framework Based on a Bioinspired Nested Dual‐Loop Architecture

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A nuclear‐pore‐inspired nested dual‐loop architecture redistributes electromagnetic energy through coupled transport, confinement, and dissipation pathways. Integrated with Co/Fe3O4 dual‐magnetic composites and topology optimization, the 11‐mm‐thick absorber delivers continuous 2–40 GHz attenuation, raises finite‐band structural utilization to 82%, and

Artificial Grain Boundaries Created by Freestanding Membrane Transfer Reveal Angle‐Dependent Ferroelectric Switching and Leakage in BaTiO3

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Artificial grain boundaries are created in BaTiO3$\text{BaTiO}_3$ thin films by freestanding membrane transfer, enabling direct isolation of a single boundary. Local ferroelectric switching and leakage are found to concentrate at the grain boundary, while increasing misorientation systematically enhances conduction.

Entropy‐Driven Physical Amplification in Multivalent Biosensing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Detecting scarce molecules usually demands enzymatic amplification such as PCR. A statistical‐mechanical theory now reveals a purely physical alternative: distributing a fixed binding strength over more linker arms exponentially lowers the concentration at which multivalent sensors switch on.

Efficient Cholesteric Liquid Crystal Waveguide Polarizing Splitters for High‐Sensitivity Chip‐Scale Atomic Magnetometry

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An integrated polarimetry architecture based on a cholesteric liquid crystal waveguide polarization splitter overcomes the volumetric bottleneck in chip‐scale atomic magnetometers. By leveraging Bragg‐selective reflection and total‐internal‐reflection‐induced helicity inversion, this ultrathin device enables efficient circular polarization splitting ...
