Biochar aerogel-based electrocatalyst towards efficient oxygen evolution in acidic media (open access)

Biochar aerogel-based electrocatalyst towards efficient oxygen evolution in acidic media

Article argues that traditional acidic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts are more prone to be oxidized and corroded as results of unstable carrier structures and variable electronic states of active species, so a high-performing biochar aerogel (BA) based electrocatalyst was realistically designed and synthetized via joint utilization of the terrestrial lignin and seaweed polysaccharide as carbon sources. This work puts forward a novel and effective strategy towards the enhancement of the acidic OER process by rational regulations of the BA and the coupling effect in micro-interface.

Biocompatible, large-format, inkjet printed heterostructure molybdenum disulfide-graphene photodetectors on conformable substrates (open access)

Biocompatible, large-format, inkjet printed heterostructure molybdenum disulfide-graphene photodetectors on conformable substrates

This article describes an inkjet printed, biocompatible, heterostructure photodetector that was constructed using inks of photo-active molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) and electrically conducting graphene which facilitated charge collection of the photocarriers. The importance of such devices stems from their potential utility in age-related-macular degeneration, which is a condition where the photosensitive retinal tissue degrades with aging, eventually compromising vision. The absence of effective therapeutic remedies for patients with this disorder has motivated the development of such devices to restore some degree of visual function.

Bioresorbable stent to manage congenital heart defects in children (open access)

Bioresorbable stent to manage congenital heart defects in children

This article assembles large, pediatric-sized stents (Ø10 - Ø20 mm) from poly(L-lactide) fibers (DH-BDS) at two thicknesses, 250 µm and 300 µm. DH-BDS exhibiting hoop strength similar to metal stents and demonstrating minimal degradation and strength loss over the first year before completely disappearing within 3 to 4.5 years show promise as a pediatric interventional alternative to current strategies.

Branching of Titanium Nanorods

This article reports that Ti nanorod branching occurs at a low homologous temperature of 0.28 based on physical vapor deposition and characterizations using electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The insight into conditions for branching, together with the determination of the morphology and crystal orientation of the branches, lay the foundation for further studies of branching mechanisms and driving force.

Cache-Aided General Linear Function Retrieval

This article designs a novel coded caching scheme that outperforms uncoded caching schemes that either use unicast transmissions or let each user recover all files in the library. It extends the scope of the authors’ past work that only considered the class of linear functions that operate element-wise over the files.

Can a simple topological-constraints-based model predict the initial dissolution rate of borosilicate and aluminosilicate glasses? (open access)

Can a simple topological-constraints-based model predict the initial dissolution rate of borosilicate and aluminosilicate glasses?

This article, as an alternative route to empirical models, shows that a structural descriptor based on the number of topological constraints per atom can be used to predict the initial dissolution rate of aluminosilicate and borosilicate glasses after being parameterized on different families of glasses (specific series of borosilicate glasses). Results show that, provided that corrections are made for high alkali content glasses that dissolve incongruently (preferential release of Na), the model gives reasonable predictions, even far from its training domain.
