Liquid Phase Transmission Electron Microscopy: A Window into the Early Stages of Complex Material Formation

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Liquid‐phase transmission electron microscopy enables direct observation of nucleation and growth processes in solution. This review is dedicated to the remembrance of Helmut Cölfen and highlights recent studies on complex materials—oxides, biominerals, organic–inorganic crystals—which were central to his research activity. It summarizes key milestones,

2D Magnetic and Topological Quantum Materials and Devices for Ultralow Power Spintronics

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
2D magnets and topological quantum materials enable ultralow‐power spintronics by combining robust magnetic order with symmetry‐protected, Berry‐curvature‐driven transport. Fundamentals of 2D anisotropy and spin‐orbit‐coupling induced band inversion are linked to scalable growth and vdW stacking.

Restaurer les peintures murales de l’église Notre-Dame de Charly (Cher) au xixe siècle

In Situ
The medieval wall paintings located in the apse of the church of Notre-Dame de Charly, in the Cher department, were much restored between 1854 and 1862 at the initiative of the Abbé Lenoir, the church priest.

Nanothermometry in Living Cells: Physical Limits, Conceptual and Material Challenges

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Heat and temperature are fundamental to life. When nanothermometers began probing regions as small as a living cell, they triggered controversial claims of large intracellular temperature gradients. We review physical constraints energy‐conservation, entropy production, thermodynamic fluctuations, and molecular dynamics.

From Clinic to Computation: Multiscale Bioengineering Strategies for Durable Biological Aortic Valve Replacements

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bioprosthetic aortic valves have revolutionized the treatment of aortic stenosis, but their durability is limited by structural valve deterioration (SVD). This review focuses on the pericardial tissue at the heart of these valves, examining how its mechanical properties and calcification drive fatigue and failure.
