The road ahead: How the future of learning is shaped through individual differences
The future of learning is often framed through technological change. Here, we show that these developments do not replace, but emphasize, long-standing questions in educational psychology, concerning why learners benefit differently from the same opportunities, how learning envir...

Identifying risk factors associated with postpartum depression: a retrospective case-control study
Abstract Background Postpartum depression (PPD) is a common complication following childbirth, affecting approximately 10–20% of women. Despite its prevalence, PPD remains underdiagnosed and insufficiently addressed in routine perinatal care, particularly in large cohorts from Ge...

Super‐Electron‐Donor Polymers: From Monomer Design to Redox Functionality
ABSTRACT The design flexibility of organic materials has enabled numerous applications for energy storage systems. However, few examples of low‐potential p‐type materials for the negative electrode are known in the field of organic batteries, particularly relevant for anion‐rocki...

Image-guided breast biopsy relies on an implanted marker that must remain locatable across ultrasound, mammography and MRI, yet current devices force a compromise: metallic markers corrupt MRI and fade on ultrasound, whereas polymer markers are MRI-friendly but carry a fixed, mou...

Abstract A central objective of future collider experiments is to probe the structure of the Higgs potential, which requires access to trilinear scalar couplings, in particular the self-coupling of the observed Higgs boson. While this coupling is fixed in the Standard Model (SM),...
