In Materia Shaping of Randomness with a Standard Complementary Metal‐Oxide‐Semiconductor Transistor for Task‐Adaptive Entropy Generation

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study establishes a materials‐driven framework for entropy generation within standard CMOS technology. By electrically rebalancing gate‐oxide traps and Si‐channel defects in foundry‐fabricated FDSOI transistors, the work realizes in‐materia control of temporal correlation – achieving task adaptive entropy optimization for reinforcement learning ...

PTFE‐Activated Graphene Overcomes Dispersion Challenges for Scalable Solvent‐Free Fabrication of Ultra‐Thick, High‐Performance Cathodes in Lithium Metal Batteries

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
PTFE nanoparticle–anchored rGO (rGO@PTFE) for scalable solvent‐free fabrication of ultra‐thick, high‐density cathodes, achieving high conductivity (9.55 S cm−1), lithium transference (0.73), and improved wettability, is developed. The resulting cathode delivers 15.2 mAh cm−2 areal and 563 mAh cm−3 volumetric capacities, with full cells exhibiting 637 ...

Constructing South East Europe

open access: yes, 2016
In the post-Cold War era, the Balkans came to exemplify the power of resurgent nationalisms freed from the straitjacket of bipolar stability. The break-up of the Yugoslav federation suggested that exclusivist ethno-national identities trumped the logic of political and economic integration.

Encoding Magnetic Anisotropies in Digital Light Processing 3D Printing

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A hybrid magnetic device—combining a coaxial coil within a nested Halbach array—is presented, integrated into a DLP 3D printer to enable spatially resolved magnetic field control. This system enables complex, multimodal responses by programming liquid crystal elastomer resins for magnetic and thermal actuation, and by inducing electrically conductive ...

Nano‐ and Micro‐Sized Solid Materials Used as Antiviral Agents

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Due to the rise of viral infections in humans and possible viral outbreaks, the use of nano‐ or micro‐sized materials as antiviral agents is rapidly increasing. This review explores their antiviral properties against RNA and DNA viruses, either as a prevention or a treatment tool, by delving into their mechanisms of action and how to properly assess ...
