Root‐Inspired Microneedle Patch With Interlocked Rigid‐Soft Architecture for High Tissue‐Adaptiveness

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A root‐inspired microneedle array patch uses lattice‐based mechanical interlocking to unite rigid microneedles with a flexible substrate. The interlocked rigid–soft architecture improves interfacial bonding, supports stable adhesion on curved and wet tissues under dynamic motion, and provides a versatile platform for robust biointerfacing and future ...

Chelation Drives Surface Substitution in Hybrid‐MXenes

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
We demonstrate ethylenediamine‐derived bidentate binding on Ti3C2 by controlled deprotonation of ─NH2 groups during reaction with Ti3C2Br2. XRD, XPS, ssNMR, STEM, DFT, and INS confirm the bidentate coordination and the superior stability of chelating modes, while AIMD reveals proton transfer and new surface imine–Ti bonding mode.

A new drag and lift correlation for spherocylinders from fully resolved Immersed Boundary Method

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Many industrial processes deal with non‐spherical particles, e.g., mineral mining and biomass conversion. It is crucial to understand the particles' hydrodynamics to control and optimize these processes. To extend the current state‐of‐the‐art from arrays of spherical particles to spherocylindrical particles, we performed extensive particle ...

Flow characteristics and regime transitions in fluidization systems of Group C+ particles

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Fine and ultrafine particles are attractive for fluidized bed reactors because their high surface area benefits catalytic processes, but their cohesive nature complicates regime characterization. Nanoparticle modulation improves the flowability of Group C powders, yet their bubbling to turbulent transition remains unclear.

Solid particles focusing, orienting, and de‐focusing in planar Poiseuille flow

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Three‐dimensional, time‐dependent lattice‐Boltzmann simulations of neutrally buoyant particles in planar Poiseuille flow have been performed. The particles are spherical or cylindrical (the latter with a length over diameter ratios in the range 1/3 to 2) and have volume fraction ranging from virtually zero (one particle) to 0.15. The channel's

A method for simultaneously measuring friction and gap at metal–lubricant interface by combined use of atomic force microscopy and line-and-space patterned metal films

Frontiers in Mechanical Engineering
In boundary lubrication, adsorbed molecular films formed by lubricant additives on the metal surfaces of sliding parts effectively reduce friction and wear.

Preferential trading in agriculture: New insights from a structural gravity analysis and machine learning

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Preferential trade agreements (PTAs) contain various non‐tariff provisions, yet identifying their trade effects remains challenging because these commitments are high‐dimensional and strongly correlated within agreements. We estimated a theory‐consistent structural gravity model with domestic flows for 26 agricultural subsectors over 1988–2017

Natural Aging of Biomaterials in Ambient and Physiological Environments

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Biomaterials used in biomedical applications can change their physical properties over time, even under ambient and physiological conditions. This review highlights key studies on the natural aging of materials ranging from soft hydrogels to metals and ceramics, emphasizing how time‐dependent changes influence function and performance.
