Structure‐Guided Dynamical Mechanics in Bioinspired Double Twisted Laminated Thin Films

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work explores a dynamic mechanistic study of crack propagation and puncture testing via real‐time monitoring of crack initiation, propagation, and termination through nature‐inspired single and double twisted architectures fabricated from cellulose nanocrystals.

An Edible Chitosan‐Based Acoustic Sensor for Sound‐Responsive Actuation in Edible Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study introduces an edible acoustic sensor for robotic food and edible robotics. Built from a chitosan piezoelectric film between gold electrodes, the sensor enables acoustic communication through ON/OFF keying. Integrated into an edible robot with pneumatically actuated arms and neck, it responds to high‐frequency tones.

Coordinated Architectural and Chemical Reinforcement in the Crushing Mandible of a Soldier Termite

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The crushing mandible of a soldier termite withstands substantial biting loads despite lacking mineral. Its cuticle is partitioned: convex teeth pair hardness and zinc enrichment with aligned chitin fibers for contact durability, while stiffer concave regions between teeth carry bending loads.

Factors associated with avoidable non-urgent emergency department visits in South Tyrol (Italy): a multicentre cross-sectional study

open access: yesBMC Emergency Medicine
Introduction Emergency departments (EDs) suffer from crowding due to patients with low urgency, whose treatment is often inappropriate. This study aimed to describe the proportion of avoidable, non-urgent ED visits and explore the factors associated with

Dis-lodging literature from English: Challenging linguistic hegemonies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
This paper problematises the location of literature "teaching" within the English (L1) curriculum, as is the case in New Zealand and other settings. It defamiliarises this arrangement by drawing attention to official New Zealand policies of biculturalism

Chitin‐Derived Carbon‐Metal Functional Materials

open access: yesAdvanced 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.

A Holistic Platform Approach for Developing Robust Pulmonary mRNA Delivery: Integrating Novel Phenolic Acid‐Derived Ionizable Lipids and Device Engineering

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
An integrated pulmonary mRNA delivery platform combining novel biodegradable syringic acid‐derived ionizable lipids, design‐of‐experiments formulation optimization, and vibrating‐mesh nebulizer engineering enabled stable aerosolization and efficient lung delivery.
