Oxygen Evolution Reaction Catalysts for Acidic‐Media CO2 Electrolyzers

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Acidic‐media CO2 electroreduction (CO2R) could decarbonize chemical production, despite relying on rare‐earth elements for anodic oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Transferring the learnings from mature sister technologies (water electrolysis) could accelerate technological development.

Transducers Across Scales and Frequencies: A System‐Level Framework for Multiphysics Integration and Co‐Design

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Transducers convert physical signals into electrical and optical representations, yet each mechanism is bounded by intrinsic trade‐offs across bandwidth, sensitivity, speed, and energy. This review maps transduction mechanisms across physical scale and frequency, showing how heterogeneous integration and multiphysics co‐design transform isolated ...

Ultra‐Thin Soft Pneumatic Actuation for Minimally Invasive Neural Interfacing

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Parylene C is a common polymer in bioelectronics, favored for its biological and chemical inertness. However, this makes bonding layers of Parylene C together very challenging. Here it is a laser to selectively weld layers of Parylene C to create high‐pressure fluidic actuation devices.

EFFECTS OF STIMULANTS AND BLOCKING AGENTS OF AUTONOMIC NERVE ON CALCIFICATION AND GROWTH OF RABBIT DENTINE

The KITAKANTO Medical Journal, 1959
Previously I reported on the effect of autonomic and mandibular neurotorny on the development and calcification of rabbit dentine. In the present, I observed the effects of stimulants and blocking agents of autonomic nerve. There are reports on the effects of autonomic nerve toxin on the development of the tooth, but many points are still in obscurity.
