In spite of efforts to fabricate stimuli‐sensitive structural colors (SCs) of self‐assembled block copolymer (BCP) photonic crystals (PCs) with potential applications in displays, media boards, and sensors, few studies have demonstrated BCP PCs suitable for high‐density nonvolatile information storage. Herein, a simple but robust route for multilevel nonvolatile information recording using a BCP PC...

The aggregation/crystallinity of classic n‐type terpolymers based on naphthalene diimide and perylene diimide is challenging to tune due to their rigid and extended cores, leading to suboptimal film morphology. A new strategy for developing high‐performance n‐type terpolymers by incorporating imide‐functionalized heteroarenes is reported here to balance crystallinity and miscibility without sacrificing...

In the present work, the performance of six convective parameterization schemes (CPSs) of the Weather Research and Forecasting model is tested for the intensity simulation of the cyclonic storms Mala, Sidr, Nargis, Aila, Laila, Jal and Thane which formed over the Bay of Bengal, with a special focus on Jal (formed in November 2010). It is found that the Grell‐3, new Kain–Fritsch and old simplified...

In article number 1902528, Yongfeng Mei and co‐workers demonstrate a 3D tubular photodetector based on a rolled‐up molybdenum diselenide microtube to enhance the photoresponsibility of 2D materials. Such a tubular design could boost the efficiency of 2D materials–based photodetectors and hold great potential in the field of 3D optoelectronics.

The accumulation of copper in organisms can lead to altered functions of various pathways and become cytotoxic through the generation of reactive oxygen species. In yeast, cytotoxic metals such as Hg+, Cd2+ and Cu2+ are transported into the lumen of the vacuole through various pumps. Copper ions are initially transported into the cell by the copper transporter Ctr1 at the plasma membrane and sequestered...

Photothermal therapy (PTT) has been pre‐clinically used in cancer treatment, but incomplete tumor removal and heat endurance of tumor cells could induce significant tumor relapse. In article number 1902636, Xiaolong Liu, Jingfeng Liu, and co‐workers report a programmable antitumor strategy that combines artificially engineered natural killer cells with anti‐heat endurance of DNAzyme as a powerful...

In article number 1902881, Liang Shi, Jianming Li, Genqiang Zhang, and co‐workers achieve the designed formation of hybrid nanoboxes composed of carbon protected CoSe2 nanoparticles strongly coupled with nitrogen‐doped carbon skeleton (denoted as CoSe2@C∩NC) via a template assisted refluxing process followed by conventional selenization treatment, which enables excellent electrochemical performance...

Developing highly efficient electrocatalysts with earth abundant elements for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is a promising way to store light or electrical energy in the form of chemical energy. Here, a new type of electrocatalyst with core–shell carbon/NiCo2O4 double microtubes architecture is successfully synthesized through a hydrothermal method combined with the calcination process with wet...

Rational design and synthesis of bifunctional electrocatalysts with high efficiency and low‐cost for overall water splitting is still a challenge. A simple approach is reported to prepare a phosphorus and yttrium codoped cobalt hydroxyfluoride (YP‐Co(OH)F) nanoarray on nickel foam, which displays high‐performance for both hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction in alkaline...

Nanodrug‐based cancer therapy is impeded by poor penetration into deep tumor tissues mainly due to the overexpression of hyaluronic acid (HA) in the tumor extracellular matrix (ECM). Although modification of nanoparticles (NPs) with hyaluronidase (HAase) is a potent strategy, it remains challenging to get a uniform distribution of drug at the tumor site because of the internalization of NPs by the...

Atomic force microscopy rheological measurements (Rheo‐AFM) of the linear viscoelastic properties of single, charged colloids having a star‐like architecture with a hard core and an extended, deformable double‐stranded DNA (dsDNA) corona dispersed in aqueous saline solutions are reported. This is achieved by analyzing indentation and relaxation experiments performed on individual colloidal particles...

The separate co‐encapsulation and selective controlled release of multiple encapsulants in a predetermined sequence has potentially important applications for drug delivery and tissue engineering. However, the selective controlled release of distinct contents upon one triggering event for most existing microcarriers still remains challenging. Here, novel microfluidic fabrication of compound‐droplet‐pairs‐filled...

Background
Patients with severe oro‐ocular synkinesis often present with concomitant inefficient smile excursion on the affected site. In theory, oculo‐zygomatic nerve transfer may decrease synkinesis and improve smile by redirecting nerve fibers to their target muscle. The aim of this study was to explore the feasibility of nerve transfer in human cadavers between a caudal branch innervating the...

Introduction
There is conflicting anatomic and innervation data regarding the rabbit brachial plexus injury model. This study aims to validate a rabbit brachial plexus injury model. We hypothesize the middle trunk (C6, C7) is the primary innervation of the biceps, and when cut and unrepaired, would demonstrate lack of recovery and when repaired would demonstrate evidence of recovery.

Background
Sarcopenia is a disease in which skeletal muscle mass (SMM) and function are progressively lost. Here, we investigate surgical site infection (SSI) as a function of SMM in patients who underwent free flap reconstruction for a defect caused by oral cancer resection.
Methods
A nonrandomized, retrospective group of 122 patients treated with free flap reconstruction after oral cancer resection...

Facilitating factors and barriers to breast milk feeding (BMF) for preterm infants have been mainly studied in very preterm populations, but little is known about moderate preterm infants. We aimed to analyze hospital unit characteristics and BMF policies associated with BMF at discharge for infants born at 32 to 34 weeks' gestation. EPIPAGE‐2, a French national cohort of preterm births, included...

Transition metal dichalcogenides, as a kind of 2D material, are suitable for near‐infrared to visible photodetection owing to the bandgaps ranging from 1.0 to 2.0 eV. However, limited light absorption restricts photoresponsivity due to the ultrathin thickness of 2D materials. 3D tubular structures offer a solution to solve the problem because of the light trapping effect which can enhance optical...
