The Vegan Villain Sets Out to The End of Summer: Functionalized Coatings as Biohybrid UV‐Sensors (Adv. Mater. Interfaces 6/2026)

Biohybrid Sensor The cover playfully depicts our biohybrid UV sensor's transition from its initial “Vegan Villain” green to its photoconverted “End of Summer” red. It features the E. coli–based system, the photoconvertible mEosFP triad, and a dynamic interplay with UV light, visually capturing both the biological design and the light-driven mechanism underlying the sensor's function. More details can be found in the Research Article by Volker Sieber and co-workers (DOI: 10.1002/admi.202500125).
