Meeting the Civilised Barbarian: Bram Stocker's Dracula and Joseph Conrad's Hear of Darkness
Miscelánea: A Journal of English and American Studies, 2000 Even though there was no direct relationship between Bram Stoker and Joseph Conrad, there are sufficient grounds for a comparison between their two masterpieces, Dracula and Heart of Darkness, respectively.

Happiness and Transcendence: Heavenly or Earthly—Augustine and Bonhoeffer
Religions, 2023 This article explores two views of happiness in Christianity. According to one view, happiness is heavenly, something that is attained only in eternal life. In the other view, happiness can be experienced on earth. Augustine (354–430) advocated the first

Moiré Phase Mapping in Twisted Bilayer Liquid Crystals with Reconfigurable Light Polarization States
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Twisted bilayer liquid crystals are developed by vertical stacking assembly of two liquid crystals having designer domains and optical properties. These moiré‐symmetry, twisted liquid crystals demonstrate reconfigurable polarization states, moiré patterns and phases controlled by twist angles, providing a route to design active optical devices for ...

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.A green, external‐catalyst‐free route grows defect‐free covalent organic framework membranes directly on ion‐exchange supports using an alternating electric field and in situ‐generated acid. Through a self‐regulating, self‐healing mechanism, the membranes achieve near‐complete, ultra‐fast separation of monovalent ions such as Li+, Na+, and K+, offering

Strong Coupling in Bulk Nanoplasmonic Nanoplatelet Perovskite Scintillators
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.A bulk scintillating nanocomposite is engineered from CsPbBr3 nanoplatelets and Ag nanocubes to support exciton–plasmon strong coupling under X‐ray excitation. The resulting hybrid polaritonic states appear directly in radioluminescence, opening a route toward polariton‐enabled scintillator design beyond conventional Purcell enhancement.

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Density‐driven differential sedimentation fractionates solution‐assembled P3HT nanowires into crystalline and disordered constituents. High‐resolution cryo‐TEM directly visualizes the molecular chain packing within individual nanowires in real space, and recombining the fractions programs the mobility–stretchability trade‐off without chemical ...

Increasing Lipid Nanoparticle mRNA Copy Number Improves Transfection Potency
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.As lipid nanoparticle (LNP) systems are the leading platform for in vivo nucleic acid delivery, improving transfection potency of these systems is of considerable interest. In this work, we explored a post‐mixing formulation method involving a two‐step buffer exchange that increased the number of mRNA copies within each LNP while reducing the number of

Natuurwetenskaplike kennis en die Woord van God
In die Skriflig, 2011 Natural science knowledge and the Word of God The Greek philosophers denied that true knowledge could be obtained by observing the sensory world. True knowledge rela- ted only to things that were unchanging, immutable.

Near‐Infrared Imaging of H2O2 in Plants With Nanosensors Under Environmentally Changing Conditions
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.This paper reports a ratiometric nanosensor enabling robust, multivariate detection of stress signals (H2O2) in plants, with high resistance to light fluctuations and mechanical disturbances. Single‐walled carbon nanotubes serve as the sensor, Egyptian Blue nanosheets serve as a stable reference, and plant autofluorescence serves as a label‐free ...
