Compliant hydrogel cuff coating with real‐time pressure monitoring and antibiofilm capabilities for ventilator‐associated pneumonia prophylaxis

BMEMat, EarlyView.
A soft‐compliant hydrogel cuff coating combines real‐time pressure monitoring with intrinsic antibacterial activity for prophylaxis of ventilator‐associated pneumonia. A flexible pressure‐sensing patch is embedded in the coating to enable wireless dynamic monitoring of endotracheal cuff pressure through Bluetooth.

Restoring joint homeostasis: A dynamically adaptive meniscal scaffold prevents osteoarthritis by replicating native biomechanics

BMEMat, EarlyView.
This work establishes a paradigm shift from static structural mimicry to dynamic functional replication. By restoring the native “compression‐to‐tension” mechanism, the scaffold ensures robust mechanical stability and superior chondroprotection.

An Integrated Three‐Phase Green Quality Function Deployment Framework for Evaluating Lean–Green Criteria Under Uncertainty

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Manufacturers need decision models that translate environmental and customer requirements into operational priorities while integrating lean and green practices within a unified programme. This study develops and applies an integrated decision framework to identify, structure and prioritise lean–green manufacturing criteria and to examine how ...

Oxidation-regulated wide-temperature tribological behavior and mechanism of a Mo/Mo tribopair lubricated by Ga-based liquid metal

iScience
Summary: Gallium-based liquid metals combine fluidity with high thermal and electrical conductivity, making them attractive for lubrication in demanding environments. We investigated the tribological behavior of a Mo/Mo self-mated pair lubricated with Ga-

Scalable catalyst production process for oleate hydratase whole‐cell biocatalysis

Biotechnology Progress, EarlyView.
This study establishes a scalable lactose‐induced fed‐batch fermentation for an Escherichia coli whole‐cell biocatalyst containing an oleate hydratase. Operation at a higher growth rate markedly increased biomass yields while maintaining catalyst activity and was demonstrated at 150 L scale.

Precision Synthesis of Biomass‐Derived Graphene‐Like Carbon With Tailored Crystallinity via Controlled Flash Joule Heating

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
A dual‐phase flash Joule heating strategy converts pre‐pyrolyzed biomass into structurally tunable carbon materials from waste feedstocks. By decoupling current‐driven thermodynamic input and duration‐dependent kinetic relaxation, the process maps the transition from amorphous carbon to few‐layer turbostratic graphene and turbostratic nanographite ...
