Liquid Crystal Elastomer Actuator Matrix for Large Area Applications

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A scalable approach is used to manufacture a digitally‐controllable, 2D 5 × 5 actuator matrix. The elements of the matrix are produced by direct ink writing of a liquid crystal elastomer ‘artificial muscle’ on large‐area flexible thin‐film heaters. In optimizing the low‐power actuators, multiple heater designs and substrate materials are investigated ...

Force–Displacement Characterization of PNIPAM Microactuators

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A method to experimentally establish a force–displacement diagram of poly(N‐isopropyl acrylamide) (PNIPAM) microactuators, printed by 2PP, is presented herein. PNIPAM is a hydrogel whose volume and stiffness change with temperature due to the absorption or release of water.

Probing Electrocatalyst Design for Product Selectivity in CO2 Reduction

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Selective CO2 electroreduction is controlled by catalyst structure, dynamic surface reconstruction, adsorbate interactions, and reaction microenvironment. This review summarizes Cu‐ and non‐Cu‐based catalysts, single‐atom and molecular systems, degradation pathways, and operando/computational strategies for steering CO2RR toward hydrocarbons ...

The Natural Product Corramycin Acts as a DNA Gyrase Poison and Overcomes Fluoroquinolone Resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Corramycin, a myxobacterial natural product antibiotic, exhibits potent bactericidal activity against multidrug‐resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The compound hijacks bacterial transporters such as BacA and OppABCD to enter the cell and inhibits DNA synthesis through a previously unrecognized mode of DNA gyrase poisoning, locking the enzyme in an ...

Spectral‐Kinetic Synergy in Au‐Network Engineered FeTiO3: A Multi‐Field Coupling Strategy for Lunar In Situ Resource Utilization

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
How can humanity achieve lunar self‐sufficiency? We utilize Au topology networks to modify the abundant lunar ilmenite. This catalyst, under sunlight, can convert waste carbon dioxide into space fuel. This design leverages the moon's natural vacuum for green manufacturing, avoiding the waste of gold and serving as “artificial chloroplasts” to sustain ...

Pressure effects in the properties of simple monohydric alcohols. Lessons from molecular dynamics simulations of united atom type UAM-EW model

Condensed Matter Physics
We explore the pressure dependence of a set of properties of simple monohydric alcohols, namely of methanol, ethanol and 1-propanol, by using isobaric-isothermal molecular dynamics computer simulations.

Structural Control Over Bicontinuous Emulsions from Solvent‐Transfer Induced Phase Separation Through Nanoparticle Loading

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The nanoparticle loading enables effective control over the liquid domain size in bicontinuous interfacially jammed emulsion gels (bijels) produced through solvent‐transfer induced phase separation (STrIPS). The relationship between the nanoparticle loading and domain size profiles in STrIPS bijels is resolved through confocal microscopy and explained ...

Synergistic Additive and Bulky Cation Engineering via a Sequential Vacuum Dry‐Dipping Process for Tin Perovskite Solar Cells

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A spin‐coating‐free sequential blade–dipping process is developed for efficient tin perovskite solar cells. Amorphous SnI2 templates are blade‐coated and vacuum‐dried, followed by a vertical dipping conversion. Enhanced by a synergistic additive matrix and bifunctional BATo cation, the resulting devices achieve a benchmark power conversion efficiency ...

Diverging Liquid–Liquid Phase Separation Behavior of Different Recombinant Major Ampullate Spidroins

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Fibers spun from the MaSp1‐derivative as well as MaSp1‐MaSp2‐mixtures provide a deeper insight into the assembly process of the spidroins and how hierarchical architectures of spider silk fibers could be achieved. ABSTRACT Spider silk fibers show exceptional mechanical properties, based on their underlying spider silk proteins (spidroins) as well as a ...

Correlation for fitting multicomponent vapor-liquid equilibria data and prediction of azeotropic behavior

Al-Khawarizmi Engineering Journal, 2007
Correlation equations for expressing the boiling temperature as direct function of liquid composition have been tested successfully and applied for predicting azeotropic behavior of multicomponent mixtures and the kind of azeotrope (minimum, maximum and ...
