Immunoinflammatory Mechanisms and Biocompatibility of Bioactive Dental Biomaterials: From Fundamental Insights to Clinical Translation

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Surface‐host dialogue at the implant interface governs biological fate and osseointegration. Surface physicochemical properties of titanium (Ti) dental implants, including microgrooves, nanopatterns, nanotopography, roughness, and wettability, modulate the initial adsorption of proteins and the formation of a dynamic biointerface.

An annoyance from an anomalous OS [PDF]

BMJ Case Reports, 2016
A 32-year-old man, a farmer, presented with chronic pain in his left foot of 9 years duration. There was no history of trauma. Pain was typically aggravated by walking in the fields (uneven ground) or after prolonged standing. Several orthopaedists had treated this condition as an ankle sprain and plantar fasciitis for the past 9 years.

Designing Strong, Tough, Fire‐Retardant and Self‐Healing Elastomers with Phosphorus/Nitrogen‐ and Biphenyl‐Containing Segments

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
By designing a P/N‐ and π–π interacting biphenyl‐containing diol as hard segments but side groups, a strong, tough, fire‐extinguishing and self‐healing elastomer is developed, demonstrating a break strain of ∼2500%, a toughness of 379 MJ/m3 and a tensile strength of 46 MPa, as well as a healing efficiency of 95% (tensile strength) and 99% (break strain)

Equal annoyance contours for infrasonic frequencies [PDF]

, 1984
Eighteen subjects (age range: 18–25) rated the annoyance of 18 sound stimuli on a graphic scale (four infrasonic frequencies at different intensity levels and four levels of 1000 Hz octave-filtered pink noise for reference).

Leaf‐Inspired Eutectic Skin With Extreme Fatigue Resistance and Robust Wet Adhesion for Amphibious Epidermal Electronics

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Inspired by Acorus calamus leaves, a heterogeneous eutectic skin integrates an aligned fibrous network within a hydrophobic eutectogel matrix. This hierarchical architecture triggers strain‐induced crystallization to achieve exceptional mechanical toughness and durable wet adhesion.
