Rational Tuning of Hygroscopic Oscillation of Stacked Nanoflake Assemblies for Continuous Ambient Energy Harvesting

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Stacked nanoflake assembly (SNA) membranes can oscillate autonomously, offering opportunities for soft actuation and energy harvesting. This work uncovers the physical mechanism behind the sustained oscillation of SNA membranes in gradient humidity and identifies three governing dimensionless parameters, enabling rational design for optimizing SNA ...

Coordination and activation of the BF molecule.

open access: yes, 2009
No CO: Fluoroborylene (BF), isoelectronic with CO and N(2), can be trapped by a transition metal. The structurally characterized complex [{CpRu(CO)(2)}(2)(mu-BF)] contains an unsupported bridging BF ligand, which is unprecedented in the structural ...

Electrically Tunable Heliconical Smectic Superstructure in Polar Fluids

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Strong dipole–dipole interactions give rise to an emergent polar smectic phase with spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking. This resulting polar heliconical smectic superstructure enables novel functionalities in polar fluids, such as color modulation driven by electric field strength and frequency, as well as second‐harmonic generation amplification ...

Above Room Temperature Ferroelectricity in Epitaxially Strained KTaO3

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Through precise epitaxial engineering, the cubic and paraelectric KTaO3${\rm KTaO}_3$ is transformed into a robust ferroelectric. By leveraging lattice‐mismatched substrates to apply controlled epitaxial strain, a stable ferroelectric ground‐state is achieved with a transition temperature as high as 475 K, establishing KTaO3${\rm KTaO}_3$ as a highly ...

Nano‐Architected Metallic Metamaterial With Enhanced Fatigue Resistance via Dislocation Starvation

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Nanoscale Ni single crystals exhibit remarkable fatigue resistance over an order of magnitude higher than that of bulk single crystals through dislocation starvation. By translating this mechanism into geometric nano‐architecture, nano‐architected Ni single‐crystal metamaterials achieve about twice the fatigue resistance of the bulk, despite their ...

Hydrophobic MFI‐Type Zeolites via Alkali‐Cation‐Induced Defect Healing: Implications for Adsorbent and Catalyst Design

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Sub‐stoichiometric amounts of Na+ or K+ enhance defect healing during Silicalite‐1 (MFI) and TS‐1 calcination by promoting Si–O–Si annealing and healing framework vacancies. The resulting defect‐free zeolites are more hydrophobic and show improved butanol/water separation and improved activity and selectivity in the epoxidation of 1‐hexene, offering a ...

Uniqueness of $\bf C^*$- and $\bf C_+$-actions on Gizatullin surfaces

open access: yes, 2008
43 pagesInternational audienceA Gizatullin surface is a normal affine surface $V$ over $\bf C$, which can be completed by a zigzag; that is, by a linear chain of smooth rational curves.

On Laguerre-Sobolev matrix orthogonal polynomials

open access: yesOpen Mathematics
In this manuscript, we study some algebraic and differential properties of matrix orthogonal polynomials with respect to the Laguerre-Sobolev right sesquilinear form defined by ⟨p,q⟩S≔∫0∞p*(x)WLA(x)q(x)dx+M∫0∞(p′(x))*W(x)q′(x)dx,{\langle p,q\rangle }_ ...

Transient Cytoskeletal Anisotropy Encodes Short‐Term Mechanical Memory in Glioblastoma Cells

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
The same mechanical deformation can produce distinct cytoskeletal states depending on loading history. Experiments and constitutive modeling reveal that transient actin–vimentin anisotropy stores mechanical information and governs short‐term mechanical memory in glioblastoma cells.

Maximum likelihood tree at BF.

open access: yes
Phylogenetic analysis of BF alleles recovered from S. haematobium samples in Oluji/Oke Igbo, Ondo state and Kachi, Jigawa state in Nigeria were compared against reference sequences (S.m* = S. mansoni, S.ma* = S. mattheei, S.c* = S. curassoni and S. bovis;
