“Faith, Hope, and Charity”: The Role of Good Faith in Construction – a Common Law Perspective [PDF]
, 2020 Los conflictos respecto a la “buena fe” en el desarrollo de contratos de construcción e ingeniería son comunes. Más aún, los conflictos surgen en la mayoría de jurisdicciones del mundo, tanto de common law como civil law.

Energy Dispersion Induced Precisely Tunable Friction of Graphitic Interface
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study introduces a novel approach to precisely tune nanoscale friction on monolayer graphene using coupled DC/AC electric fields. Combining experiments (contact‐mode electrostatic force microscopy) and simulations (generalized Prandtl–Tomlinson model), vertical resonance is shown to disperse horizontal energy, reducing friction while preserving ...

Self‐Oscillation in Active Wires with Asymmetric Willis‐Type Viscosity
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study suggests a self‐oscillation strategy enabled by a new set of material parameters, namely the asymmetric Willis‐type viscosity, to bias and independently control oscillation mode shapes as well as frequencies. The exemplified active wire can benefit the development of autonomous materials to construct soft motors, agitators, pumps, and ...

A Universal Toughening and Energy‐Dissipating Strategy for Impact‐Resistant 3D‐Printed Composites
Advanced Science, EarlyView.A universal toughening and energy dissipation strategy inspired by B─O bonds, which can significantly enhance the mechanical properties of composites, enables 3D‐printed smart impact‐resistant structures. Abstract 3D‐printed polymer‐based composites are promising for various engineering applications due to high strength‐to‐weight ratios and design ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study develops a strategy to screen the active compounds from bio‐mixtures via combining transcriptomic profiling and molecular docking. The proposed method demonstrates 100% correction in three different biobased mixtures and is 3–20 times faster than traditional approaches.
