Advanced Materials, EarlyView.A nanocluster–gel platform is developed to synchronously integrate tunable luminescence and shape morphing under a single stimulus, with emission programmability encoded through cluster size modulation (Au10 → Au18). Solvent‐induced shape–optical transitions are visualized in a lotus‐shaped gel that dynamically folds and dims, enabling rapid (< 5 s ...

Phytoplankton Hotspot Prediction With an Unsupervised Spatial Community Model
, 2017 Many interesting natural phenomena are sparsely distributed and discrete. Locating the hotspots of such sparsely distributed phenomena is often difficult because their density gradient is likely to be very noisy.

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.We generate hafnium nanostructures by first depositing polystyrene particles of varying diameter followed by physical vapour deposition of hafnium thin films. The resultant structure shows a kill‐on‐contact effect against both Gram‐negative Escherichia coli and Gram‐positive Staphylococcus aureus.

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.A simple strategy is presented for bonding acrylic PSAs and silicone elastomers by curing surfactant‐doped Ecoflex on oxygen‐plasma‐treated VHB. The interface reaches a maximum strength of 1.6 N/mm (over 20 times that of the control) while retaining material compliance.

Hierarchical Structure and Fabrication of Functionally Graded Biointerfaces in the Mussel Byssus
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.The byssus is a fibrous protein‐based holdfast consisting of mechanically distinct interfaces, which mussels use to anchor their soft living tissue to hard seashore surfaces. Here, multiscale methodologies were used to elucidate the compositional and structural features underlying these functionally graded interfaces and how they are fabricated through
