Heterogeneous Nanopore Arrays – Selective Modification of Nanopores Embedded in a Membrane
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Biological processes rely on the concerted action of channels with different functionalities embedded in the same membrane. Inspired by nature, heterogeneous nanopore arrays are prepared where two nanopores are connected in parallel and function as two different elements of an ionic circuit: a diode and a resistor.

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Laser micropatterning is presented as a promising technology in the search for autonomous dew water harvesting materials. Laser‐grooved metallic surfaces achieve simultaneously high infrared emissivity and superhydrophilicity, which gives them self‐cooling properties under atmospheric radiative deficit and the ability to condense water in an efficient ...

Diagnosis of Snakebite and the Importance of Immunological Tests in Venom Research
Toxins, 2014 In many cases of envenoming following snake bite, the snake responsible for the accident remains unidentified; this frequently results in difficulty deciding which antivenom to administer to the systemically-envenomed victim, especially when only ...

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Omnidirectional strain sensing is crucial in healthcare monitoring, human motion detection, and human‐machine interfaces. By mimicking the 3D structure of human fingers, this work introduces a novel heterogeneous substrate incorporating the involute of a circle which enables the device to achieve isotropic omnidirectional hypersensitive strain sensing ...

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.Nano Cu‐ZnO glazes formed multilayered microstructures. Cu doping and concentrations affect phase evolution and microstructure. Post‐sintering heat treatment and its duration are crucial for creating textured microstructures. Abstract The study examines the effect of heat treatment duration on microstructure and phase evolution concerning Cu content in

Pollen limitation of native plant reproduction in an urban landscape
American Journal of Botany, Volume 109, Issue 12, Page 1969-1980, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Premise Evidence suggests that bees may benefit from moderate levels of human development. However, the effects of human development on pollination and reproduction of bee‐pollinated plants are less‐well understood. Studies have measured natural variation in pollination and plant reproduction as a function of urbanization, but few have ...

Varanid Lizard Venoms Disrupt the Clotting Ability of Human Fibrinogen through Destructive Cleavage
Toxins, 2019 The functional activities of Anguimorpha lizard venoms have received less attention compared to serpent lineages. Bite victims of varanid lizards often report persistent bleeding exceeding that expected for the mechanical damage of the bite.
