Bound Water as a Reinforcing Element for Ultra‐Strong Polyacrylamide
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Rather than acting as a conventional plasticizer, bound water serves as a reinforcing element in polyacrylamide by constructing strong PAM–water–PAM hydrogen‐bond networks. This water‐mediated architecture delivers ultra‐high mechanical strength and exceptional flame resistance, redefining the role of water in polymer reinforcement.

Foreign Policy Decision-Making and Violent Non-State Actors [PDF]
, 2004 A state's foreign policy is directed toward a variety of external actors. Most understanding of foreign policy behavior, however, is derived from observations of states interacting with other states.

Environment-Conflict Nexus in the Sahel Region: Lake Chad as a Case in Point
Nuovi autoritarismi e democrazie: diritto, istituzioni, società, 2022 Lake Chad in the Sahel region has emerged as the epicenter of the widening conflict that is, in part, attributed to climate change-induced factors along with natural resource instability and intra-state pressures exacerbated by exploitative past ...

Overcoming Interfacial Hurdles in Solid‐State Aluminum Batteries for Safe and Energy‐Dense Storage
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Solid‐state aluminum batteries (SSABs) promise high energy density and intrinsic safety but face severe solid–solid interfacial challenges. This review reveals the three core hurdles—anode passivation, cathode contact loss, and electrolyte grain boundary resistance and discusses strategies including artificial interphases, alloying, and composite ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Metal‐anode batteries using Li, Na, Mg, and Ca offer exceptionally high energy density, but dendrites, unstable interphases, cracking, and pore formation hinder durability and safety. This review shows how careful electrolyte and interphase design can stabilize these reactive metals.

The Role of Intergovernmental Autonomy in Engagement with Violent Non State Actors [PDF]
, 2023 This research investigates the degree of autonomy intergovernmental organizations enjoy, the causal mechanisms that shape how this autonomy is constituted, and how it influences engagements with violent non-state actors.

The conceptual puzzle of violent non-state actors in Latin America : a critique of the convergence hypothesis [PDF]
, 2020 Current research often emphasizes the typological convergence of violent non-state actors, which according to this literature tend to mix the characteristics of actors conventionally understood as criminals, insurgents, terrorists, or warlords.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Inspired by the intricate microstructure of cicada wings, researchers developed a novel in situ skeleton‐graphene membrane architecture within lightweight foams. This bioinspired design dramatically enhances multifunctional performance: vibration attenuation time decreases by ∼83.3%, damping capacity increases by ∼179.3%, and compressive modulus rises ...
