Integrated Multiband Smart Windows From UV to LWIR Based on Molecularly Engineered Thermochromic Hydrogels

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A multiband smart window integrating a thermochromic poly (EEEA‐co‐NIPAM) hydrogel with functional layers, enabling dynamic VIS‐NIR solar modulation alongside UV shielding and low LWIR emissivity. The polymer network forms hydrogen‐bonding interactions, promoting chain collapse above a reduced lower critical solution temperature, and accelerating the ...

Hydrogel‐Based Method for High‐Resolution Measurements of Contact Mechanics in Rapid Biological Adhesives: A Case Study in Cuttlefish Tentacle Strikes

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Cuttlefish and squid can catch their prey within milliseconds using specialized tentacles and suckers. The physics of how the suckers can attach so quickly has remained a mystery given the technical challenges of studying them in vivo. In this publication, we develop a hydrogel that retains imprints of the suckers in order to estimate the forces they ...

Thermally Robust Room‐Temperature Interlayer Excitons in a Hybrid van der Waals Heterostructure

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We report an optically active interlayer exciton in a hybrid van der Waals (PEA)2PbBr4/MoS2 heterostructure that remains thermally stable up to 400 K. The emission exhibits polarization anisotropy consistent with an out‐of‐plane optical transition‐dipole component and shows lifetime extension indicative of electron–hole separation.

Measuring Blood Plasma Glutamine Levels Using a Nanopore‐Based Sensor

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Glutamine (GLN) is a biomarker useful for predicting toxic ammonia accumulation. Here, we used a biosensor based on the Cytolysin A (ClyA) nanopore coupled with the GLN‐specific protein substrate‐binding domain 2 (SBD2) to demonstrate real‐time measurement of GLN in blood plasma, highlighting the potential for future point‐of‐care applications ...

No recognised ethical standards, no broad consent: navigating the quandary in computational social science research

open access: yesResearch Ethics Review
Recital 33 GDPR has often been interpreted as referring to ‘broad consent’. This version of informed consent was intended to allow data subjects to provide their consent for certain areas of research, or parts of research projects, conditional to the ...

Bioprinted Stiffness‑Tunable Pancreatic Microniches to Decode Early Tumor Initiation Mechanisms

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Stiffness‐tunable GelMA microniches generated by microvalve bioprinting preserve wild‐type acinar identity while revealing a nonlinear, Kras‐dependent response to matrix mechanics. Intermediate stiffness promotes acinar‐to‐ductal metaplasia and proliferation, defining a permissive mechanical window.

The unbearable foreignness of EU law in social policy, a sociological approach to law-making [PDF]

open access: yes
The main purpose of the present text is assessing EU law from the perspective of its "impact" on national systems of social protection, social services and labour law : how does EU governance affect "social policy" in the Union ? After recalling the main
