Laser‐Induced Graphene from Waste Almond Shells

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Almond shells, an abundant agricultural by‐product, are repurposed to create a fully bioderived almond shell/chitosan composite (ASC) degradable in soil. ASC is converted into laser‐induced graphene (LIG) by laser scribing and proposed as a substrate for transient electronics.

Gentle Versus Strong Touch Classification: Preliminary Results, Challenges, and Potentials

Sensors, 2020
Touch plays a crucial role in humans’ nonverbal social and affective communication. It then comes as no surprise to observe a considerable effort that has been placed on devising methodologies for automated touch classification.

From Food to Power: Hydrogel Thermoelectrics for Ingestible Electronics

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We introduce a fully edible thermoelectric–electrochromic platform that harvests heat from food and converts it into a visible color change. N‐type and p‐type hydrogel thermoelectric generators connected in series power anthocyanin‐based electrochromic displays, demonstrating the feasibility of safe, biodegradable, ingestible systems for on‐food ...

Constrained Multiple Model Particle Filtering for Bearings-Only Maneuvering Target Tracking

IEEE Access, 2018
This paper presents an effective constrained multiple model particle filtering (CMMPF) for bearings-only maneuvering target tracking. In the proposed algorithm, the process of target tracking is factorized into two sub-problems: 1) motion model ...

Strain‐Programmable Luminescent Adhesive Patch With Tartrazine‐Mediated Optical Skin Clearing for Photochemical Tissue Bonding

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We propose a suture‐complementary approach that integrates optical skin clearing with a strain‐programmable luminescent adhesive patch. Hyaluronic acid promotes transdermal delivery of tartrazine to improve optical clearing and stabilizes its interaction with a photosensitizer. Optical clearing increases the penetration depth of visible light into skin,

Gait synchronisation in pedestrian dyads: The influence of social interaction [PDF]

EPJ Web of Conferences
Spontaneous gait synchronisation is commonly observed in pedestrian groups and has been studied extensively in controlled settings. Here, we investigate this phenomenon in a natural environment using a pedestrian trajectory dataset collected with range ...

Enhanced Tantalum Superconducting Resonator Performance via All‐Surface Organic Monolayer Passivation

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The internal quality factor of tantalum superconducting resonators is significantly increased by ∼140% in the low photon regime by passivating their surfaces with a high‐quality alkene self‐assembled monolayer. Our methodology promises to enhance the performance of superconducting quantum circuits.

Silicone Phase Behavior Resolves the Softness–Surface Functionality Trade‐Off in Emerging Stretchable Electronics

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Ultrasoft silicone elastomers often sacrifice surface functionality for mechanical compliance. In Mold Star, low‐molecular‐weight species form a dispersed phase that weakens the network and passivates the surface. Solvent extraction removes this phase, unexpectedly improving both extensibility and metallization performance, enabling conductive ...

Chemical inhibition of DNA repair kinases as a promising tool in oncology

Biomedical Papers, 2016
Background: DNA repair pathways play a major role in tumour resistance towards chemo- and radiotherapy. Therefore, inhibitors of specific DNA repair pathways might be advantageous when used in combination with DNA-damaging agents, such as ionizing ...

Functionalizing Micro‐to‐Mesoscopic Electrode Architectures for Regulating Electron Transfer Behaviors in Electrocatalysis

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A systematic review is conducted to assess the influence of electrode architecture across micro‐ to mesoscopic length scales on electron‐transfer pathways in electrocatalysis. We discuss the structure‐activity relationships in electrocatalytic applications, including resource recovery and environmental remediation, and provide cost‐effective, efficient
