Electro‐sintering, i.e., electrically enhanced densification without the assistance of Joule heating, has been observed in 70% dense 8 mol% Y 2 O 3 ‐stabilized ZrO 2 ceramics at temperatures well below those for conventional sintering. Remarkably, full density can be obtained without grain growth under a wide range of…

A strategy to light-trigger ionic cross-linking of alginates by incorporating a photosensitive Ca2+ cage (nitr-T) is presented. Upon irradiation, free Ca2+ was released, and this caused gelation of the alginate solution. Addition of Ca2+ "on-demand" allowed us to obtain homogeneous alginate (ALG) gels using concentrat…

Controlling the nonlamellar and bicontinuous nanostructures through changing volume fraction is a well-developed technique for coil–coil block copolymer, but it is not always effective for rod–coil block copolymer due to strong rod–rod interaction. Versatile self-assembly morphology of rod–coil copolymer can be achiev…
