Ti6Al4V‐Bioglass‐Copper Composites for Load‐Bearing Implants

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
We have designed and manufactured a novel Ti64‐based composite by adding 45S5 bioglass (BG) and copper (Cu). Adding BG on titanium improves wear resistance and biocompatibility, whereas Cu addition improves mechanical strength while providing inherent lifelong bacterial resistance.

Fine particulate matter‑induced cardiac developmental toxicity (Review)

Experimental and Therapeutic Medicine
Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) has become an important risk factor threatening human health. Epidemiological and toxicological investigations have revealed that PM2.5 not only leads to cardiovascular dysfunction, but it also gives rise to various adverse health effects on the human body, such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, cancers ...

Network Analysis of Fine Particulate Matter (PM2.5) Emissions in China [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2016
AbstractSpecification of PM2.5 spatial and temporal characteristics is important for understanding PM2.5 adverse effects and policymaking. We applied network analysis to studying the dataset MIX, which contains PM2.5 emissions recorded from 2168 monitoring stations in China in 2008 and 2010.

Opportunities of Semiconducting Oxide Nanostructures as Advanced Luminescent Materials in Photonics

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
The review discusses the challenges of wide and ultrawide bandgap semiconducting oxides as a suitable material platform for photonics. They offer great versatility in terms of tuning microstructure, native defects, doping, anisotropy, and micro‐ and nano‐structuring. The review focuses on their light emission, light‐confinement in optical cavities, and
