Atomic force microscopy enables precise evaluation of the magnitude and range of hydrophobic and van der Waals interactions. This primer presents a protocol for fluorocarbon functionalization of gold surfaces and examines how water: DMSO mixtures affect hydrophobic forces, with data interpreted through an extended van der Waals model.

Nonhuman situational enmeshments—How participants build temporal infrastructures for ChatGPT
Abstract This paper investigates how participants recruit Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT as interactional co‐participants depending on their temporal enmeshment within an interactional flow. Using Charles Goodwin's co‐operative action framework, we analyze video data of human–AI interaction to trace the temporal structures established by ...

Tracking physical impacts is important in many fields. Self‐assembled microparticles made from polydiacetylene and silk fibroin that change color from blue to red when hit can provide an alternative approach to traditional mechanical transducers, quantitatively visualizing impact with responses ranging from <100 to 770 N.

During the Late Permian, the rise of the Gondwanides Belt trapped marine waters, giving birth to a vast megalake. This lake shifted between overfilled, balanced‐fill and underfilled stages that are recorded by high‐frequency accommodation changes, while meteorological seiches shaped the sedimentary dynamic and produced heterolithic beds.
