Christian Kästner, Koen Vandewal, Daniel Ayuk Mbi Egbe and Harald Hoppe
Version of Record online: 1 DEC 2016 | DOI: 10.1002/advs.201600331
Efficient charge generation via exciton dissociation in organic bulk heterojunctions necessitates donor–acceptor interfaces. It is shown that their energy landscape is reflected in interfacial charge transfer transitions, probed via luminescence spectroscopy, and depended on the existence of disordered/ordered interfacial domains, which are experimentally applied by ternary blending of amorphous and semicrystalline polymer, in various ratios, with fullerenes.

Bin Wang and Marc André Meyers
Version of Record online: 1 DEC 2016 | DOI: 10.1002/advs.201600360
Why is the proximal base of flight feather shaft round but the distal end square? Nature seldom produces square shapes, but the feather rachis is one exception. Here fundamental reasons are provided explaining the unique structural design: the gradient in shape and the varying fiber orientations work synergistically, tailoring the flexural stiffness along the shaft length while minimizing weight.

Shi Ye, En-Hai Song and Qin-Yuan Zhang
Version of Record online: 29 NOV 2016 | DOI: 10.1002/advs.201600302
This review focuses on recent advances in the photon upconversion of transition metal ions with an emphasis on room temperature upconversion, the upconversion of Ln3+ tuned by TM or d0 ions (anion groups), and the upconversion of d0 ions (anion groups), as well as their potential applications in bioimaging, solar cells and multifunctional devices.

Structurally well-defined heterogeneous N-glycoclusters are prepared on albumin via a double click procedure. The number of glycan molecules present, in addition to the spatial arrangement of glycans in the heterogeneous glycoclusters, plays an important role in the in vivo kinetics and organ-selective accumulation through glycan pattern recognition mechanisms.
