A Universal Way to Manipulate Droplet via Light‐Fueled Thermocapillary Convection

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A non‐contact light‐induced droplet manipulation strategy fueled by mid‐infrared (MIR) light irradiation is introduced. No additional additives and/or complex substrate are required. Here, thermocapillary convection, directly generated by temperature gradient at outer surface of droplet via localized surface heating, plays a key role to propel the ...

Graft Copolymer‐Stabilized Liquid Metal Nanoparticles for Lithium‐Ion Battery Self‐Healing Anodes

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents a self‐healing liquid metal anode for lithium‐ion batteries, where graft copolymer‐stabilized eutectic gallium indium (EGaIn) nanoparticles enhance stability and rate performance. The fluorinated grafted copolymer forms ionic channels, preventing EGaIn aggregation and facilitating lithium‐ion migration.

Microbubble‐Controlled Delivery of Biofilm‐Targeting Nanoparticles to Treat MRSA Infection

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Here, an effective strategy using microbubble (MB)‐controlled delivery of biofilm‐targeting nanoparticles (BTNs) for removal and therapy of methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) biofilm infections is introduced. In vivo delivery of MB with BTN is demonstrated to silence key bacterial genes involved in biofilm formation (icaA), bacterial ...

Printing Nacre‐Mimetic MXene‐Based E‐Textile Devices for Sensing and Breathing‐Pattern Recognition Using Machine Learning

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents a Ti3C2Tx MXene/WPU nacre‐mimetic nanomaterial as a printable ink for direct‐write printing onto textiles‐based sensors. The resulting wearable device demonstrates high sensitivity, biocompatibility, and mechanical strength. Furthermore, NFC‐enabled humidity sensor produces time‐series data, which informs a machine learning ...

Hand Washing

British Journal of Perioperative Nursing (United Kingdom), 2000
What could be more basic than the simple act of washing your hands? Children at junior school are taught to do it. Yet research tends to point to the lack of hand washing as being a major contributor to hospital acquired infection. I have summarised this piece by Elizabeth Pinney which takes us right back to the 18th century - and bang up to date ...

Surgical hand‐washing

Annals of the College of Surgeons of Hong Kong, 2004
Pre‐operative hand‐washing is essential for the reduction of surgical site infection (SSI) rate. This article aims to review the current literature regarding the issues on: (i) the duration of washing; (ii) the use of the brush; and (iii) the reagents used.

On Washing Hands

New England Journal of Medicine, 2004
One afternoon last December, I took a tour of my hospital with Deborah Yokoe, an infectious-disease specialist, and Susan Marino, a medical technologist by training. They work in our infection-control unit. Their full-time job is to stop the spread of infection in the hospital.

Hand washing

Nursing Children and Young People, 2017
Essential facts Antimicrobial resistance develops when the medicines are used inappropriately. Global estimates suggest that every year more than 700,000 people die from drug-resistant strains of common bacterial and viral infections, such as the human immunodeficiency virus, tuberculosis and malaria.
