A Degradable Bioinspired Flier with Aerogel‐Based Colorimetric Sensors for Environmental Monitoring

Advanced Science
Environmental and distributed monitoring of remote, inaccessible, or polluted areas requires low‐maintenance and sustainable solutions. Passive dispersal strategies with (bio)degradable fliers, inspired by plant anemochory, offer an eco‐friendly approach

Stretching the Printability Metric in Direct‐Ink Writing with Highly Extensible Yield‐Stress Fluids

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study introduces “drawability” as a new metric for assessing printability in direct‐ink writing, focusing on gap‐spanning performance and speed robustness. By designing yield‐stress fluids with high extensibility, we demonstrate that extensional strain‐to‐break significantly enhances printability.

Laser‐Induced Graphene from Waste Almond Shells

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Almond shells, an abundant agricultural by‐product, are repurposed to create a fully bioderived almond shell/chitosan composite (ASC) degradable in soil. ASC is converted into laser‐induced graphene (LIG) by laser scribing and proposed as a substrate for transient electronics.

HNMD‐CNN: A Hierarchical Narrowing Multi‐Deep Convolutional Neural Network for Precision Glioma Classification in 3D MRI Images

Computational and Systems Oncology
Brain tumors, though rare, are significant health risks, often reaching critical stages before diagnosis. Gliomas, classified as high grade (HGG) and low grade (LGG), require early detection to reduce mortality. While two‐dimensional imaging has improved

Counterion Dependent Side‐Chain Relaxation Stiffens a Chemically Doped Thienothiophene Copolymer

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Oxidation of a thienothiophene copolymer, p(g3TT‐T2), via different doping strategies and dopant molecules resulted in materials with similar oxidation levels and a high electrical conductivity of ≈100 S cm−1. However, mechanical properties varied significantly, with sub‐glass transition temperatures and elastic moduli spanning from –44°C to –3°C and ...
