Non-silicone biocide-free antifouling solutions

, 2009
The prevention of biofouling attachment and growth on vessel hulls and other immersed surfaces has, and continues to be, primarily achieved through the use of antifouling paints, which continuously release one or more biocides through the paint surface ...

Overcoming intranasal delivery barriers with ultrastable polyzwitterionic siRNA nanocages for enhanced glioblastoma therapy

BMEMat, EarlyView.
A ROS‐responsive, zwitterionic nanocage enables stable, intranasal siRNA delivery to glioblastoma, promoting deep tumor penetration via non‐degradative pathways and trigeminal nerve transport. This platform achieves durable gene silencing and tumor suppression, offering a non‐invasive, storage‐stable strategy for treating glioma and other neurological ...

Acoustic‐driven surface cleaning with millimeter‐sized bubbles at translational resonance

Droplet, EarlyView.
Time‐lapse visualization comparing bubble trajectories. The top panel (0 Hz) shows a bubble's linear path under no acoustic forcing, while the bottom panel (50 Hz) demonstrates the oscillatory motion induced by acoustic waves at a resonance mode. This mechanism holds promising potential for applications such as surface cleaning.
