Repellency and toxicity of long-lasting insecticide-treated bed nets (LLINs) to bed bugs

PLOS ONE
Vector control is essential for eliminating malaria, a vector-borne parasitic disease responsible for over half a million deaths annually. Success of vector control programs hinges on community acceptance of products like long-lasting insecticide-treated nets (LLINs).

Phase‐Engineered MoS2 Quantum Monolayer Catalysts

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A new type of catalyst model—phase‐engineered MoS2 quantum‐monolayer catalyst (∼0.8 nm thick, < 6 nm in the lateral size; switchable freely among metallic 1T, semiconducting 2H, and a hybrid phase of metallic‐semiconducting 1T‐2H)—is reported. It can efficiently and stably drive photochemical H2, syngas and ammonia synthesis as a catalyst or co ...

Thermoplastic Dielectric Coatings for Flexible Electrodynamic Dust Shields: Structural and Functional Performance

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Thermoplastic attachment is introduced as a scalable surface coating strategy to improve the durability and dielectric reliability of flexible electrodynamic dust shields. By embedding chemically modified reduced graphene oxide (CMrGO) electrodes within thermoplastic laminates, mechanical degradation, abrasion damage, and vacuum‐induced electrical ...

Atomistic Insights into Gradient Architecture Driven Strengthening in Additively Manufactured Cu–Ni Stepwise Graded Structures

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Atomistic simulations reveal the interlayer mechanics of additively manufactured materials, showing how build direction and layer interfaces govern diffusion, defect evolution, and mechanical strength. Distinct anisotropic behavior arises from interface‐controlled deformation and dislocation activity, establishing critical links between microstructural

Millifluidic Synthesis of Core–Shell Resonators For Tunable Sonic BandGaps in Acoustic Metamaterials

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Millimeter‐scale core–shell acoustic resonators are fabricated by a gravity‐assisted dripping approach and incorporated into epoxy composites at controlled volume fractions. The resulting alumina–core resonator composites show tunable low‐frequency acoustic attenuation, demonstrating a scalable route for integrating locally resonant metamaterial units ...

High Throughput Aerosol Jet Printing to Operationalize High Aspect Ratio Patterning

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
High‐throughput aerosol jet printing poses distinct limiting mechanisms to the printing process. These include rapidly changing ink chemistries, atomization instabilities, and liquid‐phase spreading. The combination of in‐line heating, process monitoring, and traditional optimization procedures enables rapid printing of high‐aspect‐ratio structures ...

Aerosol Jet Printing of Benzocyclobutene as a Thermally Stable, Low‐Loss Dielectric for Multilayer Microwave Electronics

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Multilayer aerosol jet printed components with a low‐loss, thermally stable dielectric are demonstrated using benzocyclobutene. Ink formulation and in‐line droplet evaporation control support high‐quality, versatile, and stable printing performance. A specialized measurement for low‐loss materials reveals promising microwave properties, which, combined

Hydrodynamic Characteristics of a Fluidized Bed with Rotating Distributor [PDF]

, 2007
The performance of a novel rotating distributor fluidized bed is presented. The pressure drop and the standard deviation of pressure fluctuations were used to find the minimum fluidization velocity, Umf, and to characterize the quality of fluidization ...
