Lamins and nesprin-1 mediate inside-out mechanical coupling in muscle cell precursors through FHOD1

Scientific Reports, 2017
LINC complexes are crucial for the response of muscle cell precursors to the rigidity of their environment, but the mechanisms explaining this behaviour are not known. Here we show that pathogenic mutations in LMNA or SYNE-1 responsible for severe muscle

Micro–Macro Coupling Study on the Mechanical Properties of Continuous Fiber-Reinforced Composites

Polymers
As a key and weak point of continuous fiber-reinforced composites (CFRCs), the interface between the fiber and the matrix is vulnerable to failure under external loads, with its performance directly affecting the overall properties of CFRCs.

In Situ Crystalline‐Amorphous Composite Oxide Structure Suppressing Thermal Wear Instability for Refractory Multi‐Principal Element Alloy

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
An effective strategy is developed to overcome the medium temperatures wear resistance degradation in refractory multi‐principal element alloys. By utilizing chemical short‐range ordering to trigger oxygen‐induced amorphization, a composite oxide structure is formed, which combines high hardness with robust stiffness.

Chiral Phase Change Nanomaterials

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work demonstrates reversible, non‐volatile phase transitions in chiral Ge2${\rm Ge}_2$Sb2${\rm Sb}_2$Te5${\rm Te}_5$ (GST) nanohelices for high‐speed optical modulation of chirality and dynamic control of the state of polarization (SOP). The chiral nanostructures are fabricated using a highly directional, wafer‐scale physical vapor deposition ...
