Navigating Gravity: Competing Effects Result in Opposing Taxis for Different Janus Swimmers

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
The combined effects of gravity and wall‐induced hydrodynamics on the motion of Janus colloids are investigated. Platinum‐ and copper‐coated silica microswimmers show distinct gravitactic alignment near surfaces due to different hydrodynamic couplings. This distinct gravitactic behavior enables separation of initially mixed active particles.

Ab Initio Benchmarking on Unsupported and Coronene‐Supported Silver Atomic Clusters: Interplay Between Jahn–Teller Distortions and Fluxionality

open access: yesSmall Structures, EarlyView.
The article presents a benchmark study using state‐of‐the‐art high‐level ab initio methodologies to predict infrared and Raman frequencies of subnanometric metal clusters. The importance of characterizing conical intersections in their potential energy landscapes is also highlighted, with the associated (Pseudo‐)Jahn–Teller distortions of cluster ...

Linking Density and Nanoscale Crystallinity to Hydration in Nafion PEMFC Membranes: Insights From Experiment and Molecular Dynamics Simulations

open access: yesSmall Structures, EarlyView.
Molecular dynamics and experimental analysis show that higher crystallinity in Nafion enhances molecular packing, thereby increasing effective density. A proposed model bridges experimental and molecular‐scale observations by quantitatively linking water uptake to density variations, offering a predictive framework for optimising hydration and ...

Critical shear crack shapes in slender reinforced concrete beams with and without shear reinforcement

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The accurate prediction of the shear capacity of reinforced concrete underpins the efficient and safe design of concrete buildings and infrastructure. Disagreement remains about shear mechanisms and the modeling of shear resistance. For slender beams without shear reinforcement, critical shear crack (CSC) models have attracted interest.

Ultrasound features in early pregnancy for predicting abnormal karyotype in first‐trimester miscarriage

open access: yesUltrasound in Obstetrics &Gynecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To investigate whether combining abnormal morphological features observed on ultrasound in live pregnancies that ended in a first‐trimester miscarriage can predict an abnormal karyotype. Methods This retrospective observational cohort study was conducted at the early‐pregnancy assessment unit at University College London Hospital ...
