Bio‐Inspired Structural Color Irises as Physical Unclonable Functions for Anti‐Counterfeiting

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work employs colloidal photonic crystals to create macro‐to‐micro scale PUF anti‐counterfeiting patterns. Integrated with iris recognition algorithms, it establishes a multi‐layered optical anti‐counterfeiting system based on structural color irises.

A Subcircuit in the Suprachiasmatic Nucleus Generates Wakefulness

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies a sub‐circuit within the circadian pacemaker suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) that promotes arousal. This sub‐circuit is labeled by the clock output molecule mWAKE, which suppresses its excitability in a time‐dependent manner. mWAKE‐expressing cells in the SCN (SCNmWAKE cells) project to the subparaventricular zone (SPZ) to mediate ...

Current policies in Europe and South Asia do not prevent veterinary use of drugs toxic to vultures

Ecological Solutions and Evidence
Population declines of vultures of the genus Gyps in the Indian Subcontinent in the 1990s and 2000s were among the most rapid global population declines recorded for any bird species.

Integrated Design of Electrically Configurable Ferroelectric and Redox‐Based Memristors for Hardware‐Implemented Reservoir Computing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Multifunctional memristors combining ferroelectric and redox switching are co‐fabricated via a single process, enabling compact, reconfigurable reservoir computing hardware. Ferroelectric mode offers tunable volatility for dynamic reservoirs, while redox mode provides stable multilevel weight storage.

Genomic Insights into the Origin, High Fecundity and Environmental Adaptation of Hu Sheep

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The Hu sheep diverged from the Small‐tailed Han sheep ≈1330 years ago, and subsequently migrated from northern to warm and humid southern regions. The genes BMPR1B, UNC5C, and GRID2 play a synergistic role in the superior reproductive traits of Hu sheep.
