Cell‐Free DNA as a Biomarker of Cell Death and Treatment Response for On‐Chip Three‐Dimensional Tumor Models

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents quantifying cell‐free DNA (cfDNA) as a non‐disruptive and rapidly quantifiable method for assessing cell death for on‐chip 3D sarcoma tumor models. On‐chip cfDNA release reflects tumor burden, extent of cell death, and survival of in vitro and ex vivo 3D models, providing valuable insight into the temporal response of tumor models ...

Reaction mechanisms of the hydration products of solidified sulfate saline soils in the long-term solid waste period

Frontiers in Materials
To ensure effective utilization of saline soils in cold and arid areas as engineering materials, we used calcium carbide slag along with slag, slag + fly ash, and fly ash as the cementitious materials to solidify sulfate saline soil.

A Field Investigation on Vortex-Induced Vibrations of Stay Cables in a Cable-Stayed Bridge

Applied Sciences, 2019
A field study was conducted to identify the vortex-induced vibrations (VIVs) of stay cables in a cable-stayed bridge. A full-scale health-monitoring system was established to observe the wind effects of the selected cables.

Clustomesogen Showing Sub‐Zero Liquid Crystal Properties: Supramolecular Assembly Between Cs2[Mo6Ii8(OCOC2F5)6] and Hexaethylenoxide Containing Mesogenic Dimers

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Associating a red‐NIR phosphorescent octahedral hexanuclear molybdenum cluster compound with hexaethyleneoxide chains bearing mesogenic units on both ends leads to an emissive hybrid liquid crystal showing mesomorphism on a very unusual temperature range down to −25°C.

Microbe–arsenic interactions in groundwater: From community evolution to functional regulation

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Arsenic (As) enrichment in groundwater is a global environmental and public-health crisis. Here we investigate potential microbe-arsenic associations in a representative groundwater system from the Kuitun River Basin, a typical arid, high-As region in ...

Engineering the Assembly Freedom of Donor–Acceptor Type Self‐Assembled Monolayers Toward Efficient and Stable Flexible Perovskite Photovoltaics

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Assembly freedom engineering breaks the vertical alignment constraint of donor–acceptor self‐assembled monolayers, tuning their assembly freedom to achieve quasi‐random molecular orientation. This strategy simultaneously boosts interfacial charge transport and mechanical robustness, enabling high‐efficiency and mechanically stable flexible perovskite ...
