Advanced Science, EarlyView.A microfluidic Herd‐Immunity‐on‐a‐Chip experimentally recreates structured contact networks to quantify viral transmission dynamics. By controlling susceptible, infected, and non‐susceptible populations, the platform reveals how contact topology governs the reproduction number, outbreak propagation, herd‐immunity–like behavior, and intervention ...

Experimental evaluation of bird strikes in urban air mobility [PDF]
CEAS Aeronautical JournalAbstract Since the Wright brothers demonstrated the first powered, sustained, and controlled flight in 1903, the airspace has been shared between birds and humans. Novel aircraft and advanced mobility concepts such as urban air mobility (UAM) are emerging in full swing. In that concept, a safe and efficient aviation transportation system will

Bridging Horizontal to Vertical Radiative Cooling
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Radiative cooling materials are mature but only work facing the sky, confining them to rooftops. Instead of developing new ones, this system bridges existing horizontal coolers to vertical windows using blades outside the glass. On an occupied urban building, windows stay up to 1.4°C below air temperature while preserving daylight, outward views, and ...

Autonomous Solar Metallurgy for High‐Purity Gold Recovery from Electronic Waste
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Inspired by microbial strategies for metal uptake and biomineralization, defect‐rich copper sulfide (Cu31S16) functions as a solar metallurgical platform that unifies Au(III) capture, reduction, and self‐separation. The bioinspired design enables ultrafast gold recovery from electronic‐waste leachates and the spontaneous formation of millimeter‐scale ...
