Experimental Observation of Laser Planar Trapping

Optics
This study experimentally demonstrates transverse symmetry breaking—a mechanism governing laser planar trapping—and distinguishes its unique role from related phenomena such as the lateral Goos–Hänchen shift and angular deviations.

Patterning the Void: Combining L‐Systems with Archimedean Tessellations as a Perspective for Tissue Engineering Scaffolds

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study introduces a novel multi‐scale scaffold design using L‐fractals arranged in Archimedean tessellations for tissue regeneration. Despite similar porosity, tiles display vastly different tensile responses (1–100 MPa) and deformation modes. In vitro experiments with hMSCs show geometry‐dependent growth and activity. Over 55 000 tile combinations

Functionalized Lignin Derivatives as Melt‐Spinnable Precursors for Carbon Fiber Production without Stabilization

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
By turning off hydrogen bonds by bulky ethyl cinnamate ester derivatization, softwood kraft lignin can flow under elevated temperatures, providing tough fiber in the melt for high take‐up speed. Subsequently, lignin ethyl cinnamate derivatives are readily stabilized with only dilute nitric acid leading to direct carbonized fiber with outstanding ...

Surface Wrinkling of Plasma‐Exposed PDMS is Caused by Water Vapor Sorption: An Optical Environmental Sensor

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Wrinkling of soft materials, such as polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), underpins a myriad of technologies. Plasma‐oxidation of PDMS induces spontaneous wrinkling, which is canonically attributed to thermal expansion‐contraction of bilayers. Employing experiments and modelling, it is demonstrated that sorption of water vapor is instead responsible for ...

Thermal Expansion Behavior of PM6 Studied Using In Situ Wide‐Angle X‐Ray Scattering

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
In organic photovoltaics, small morphological changes can significantly impact performance. This study examines the thermal expansion of PM6 using in situ WAXS and GIWAXS from 30 to 300 °C. By analyzing samples of increasing complexity, factors like initial anisotropic nanoscale arrangements and substrate mismatches are quantified, revealing systematic
