Intelligent Acousto‐Electrical Metamaterials (IAM) for Sound Source Detection

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Our proposed metamaterial concept enables sound source detection using a single material, in contrast to conventional arrays that require dozens or even hundreds of transducers. We show that the coupled acoustic–vibrational–electrical responses in piezoelectric metamaterials give rise to topology‐governed charge transport, producing distinct voltage ...

The Contracts of Public Administrations

Revista de la Facultad de Derecho de México, 2018
Practicamente no existe ningun aspecto de la teoria de los contratos que haya escapado a un analisis cuidadoso en terminos comparativos.  La renuencia tradicional de la ley administrativa a de verse obligada a cierta medida de homogeneizacion. Por lo tanto, es dificil explicar por que ningun tratado, libro o articulo extenso se ha dedicado a una ...

Radiation‐Resistant Aluminum Alloy for Space Missions in the Extreme Environment of the Solar System

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A novel ultrafine‐grained aluminum crossover alloy exhibits unprecedented radiation resistance and mechanical stability under extreme irradiation doses up to 100 dpa. The exceptional resilience arises from thermodynamically stable T‐phase precipitates, enabling lightweight structural materials for next‐generation spacecraft and extraterrestrial ...

Machine Learning‐Informed Nano Co‐Assembly Inhibits Fibroblast Activation Protein and Improves Drug Delivery in Fibrotic Tissue

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
We present SP‐13786 (SP), a fibroblast activation protein (FAP) inhibitor, as a universal excipient for co‐assembling stable drug nanoparticles (SCAN). Assembly mechanism deciphered by molecular dynamics and explainable machine learning, SCAN attenuate fibrosis‐induced stromal barriers, enhances lesional drug accumulation, and improves therapeutic ...
