Chitin‐Derived Carbon‐Metal Functional Materials
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Functional carbon materials are synthesized from combination of biopolymer (chitin) and iron precursors. The resultant material exhibits superior surface area and adsorptive properties compared to carbon materials synthesized directly from pure chitin.

Energy and Sustainable Agriculture [PDF]
, 2016 Agriculture lies at the heart of civilization. Cultures that mistreat their soils do not long endure. Modern agriculture seems in many ways to be the pinnacle of human achievement, enabling fewer farmers to feed more of humanity than ever before.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A gradient‐engineered all‐paper sensor is fabricated by integrating MXene and in situ grown AgNPs within hierarchical cellulose networks. The device breaks the sensitivity–detection range trade‐off through cascaded conductive pathways, enabling ultrahigh pressure sensitivity, humidity–pressure decoupled dual‐mode sensing, and outstanding EMI shielding,

Why Don't We Have Sustainable Agriculture Now? [PDF]
, 2016 Why has it been so difficult to bring about sustainable agriculture on a large scale in the United States? Or, for that matter, why don’t we already have an agricultural system that would better fit most definitions of sustainable?

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.The mantis shrimp telson reveals how ridged biological shields control deformation under impact. Inspired by this architecture, telson‐inspired ridged curved shells transform ridge geometry and macroscopic curvature into bidirectional snap‐through, tunable stiffness, and enhanced hysteretic energy dissipation for multifunctional architected materials ...

Intracrystalline Void‐Mediated Toughening of Brittle Crystals in Quail Eggshells
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.In quail eggshells, the high density and disordered arrangement of intracrystalline voids inhibit lattice cleavage, suppress long‐range crack propagation, and promote deformation twinning and quasi‐plasticity, serving as an essential toughening motif. We show that these voids remain within a narrow subcritical size range and therefore predominantly do ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Phase transitions are central for the assembly of recombinant silk proteins into fibers. Soluble protein can transition into condensed states such as condensates and gels. These states are metastable and evolve in a time‐dependent way. Metastability depends on the protein sequence, and this relationship can be used to enhance the mechanical properties ...
