A Termite‐Inspired Alternative to Cement

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A termite‐inspired composite of clay, cellulose, and lignin forms a dense fibrous network with concrete‐like strength (32 MPa) and superior elasticity, processed at ambient temperature. Abstract Clay combined with organic materials is used by termites as a strong and durable construction material for their mounds with minimal environmental impact. Here,

Programmable DNA‐Peptide Hybrid Nanostructures for Potent Neutralization of Multiple Influenza a Virus Subtypes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A multivalent antiviral platform based on honeycomb‐shaped DNA nanostructures (HC–Urumin) is developed to enhance the potency and breadth of the host defense peptide Urumin. Through spatially patterned trimeric presentation, HC–Urumin disrupts influenza A virus entry, improves cell viability, and reduces disease severity in vivo‐offering a modular and ...

Damage and fracture law of outburst coal bodies in tectonic zones under impact disturbances

International Journal of Mining Science and Technology
The geological tectonic zone is closely related to outburst. Taking the outburst coal bodies in tectonic zones as the research object, combined with DIC and AE monitoring technologies and discrete element simulation, the mechanical response, crack ...

Multiscale Structuring of Hydroxyapatite via Two‐Photon Lithography of Nanocomposites

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Hydroxyapatite scaffolds are of great interest in bone tissue engineering applications, ranging from 3D cell culture to regenerative medicine. Using two‐photon lithography of a transparent nanocomposite, hydroxyapatite microstructures with features ranging from submicron to centimeter‐scale are fabricated. This allows to mimic the natural bone geometry,

Bridge steel fiber reinforced concrete specimens under high loading rates

Journal of King Saud University: Engineering Sciences
Due to its inherent properties, concrete exhibits brittle failure once it attains its peak compressive and tensile strengths. As concrete is weak in tension, it is usually reinforced with steel bars to resist tensile stresses produced by the applied ...

Coordinated Multi‐Component Gradient Engineering of Catalyst Layers for Advanced Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cells

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work presents a continuous linear gradient catalyst layer design, a general strategy for improving membrane electrode assemblies across electrochemical devices. Fabricated via a dual‐nozzle spray coating method, the architecture controls the Pt/carbon ratio, ionomer content and ionomer type across the catalyst layer, enhancing proton conduction ...
