Phase Engineering of Atomically Precise Nanoclusters (APNCs) of Gold and Beyond

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Engineering the structural phase of materials is of paramount importance for both fundamental research and practical applications. In this Review, we summarize the recent progress in controlling the phases of atomically precise nanoclusters (APNCs) of gold, silver and copper, as well as bimetallic systems. The phase‐enabled material properties of APNCs

Sparse Robust Weighted Expectile Screening for Ultra-High-Dimensional Data

Axioms
This paper investigates robust feature screening for ultra-high dimensional data in the presence of outliers and heterogeneity. Considering the susceptibility of likelihood methods to outliers, we propose a Sparse Robust Weighted Expectile Regression ...

Do healthcare services behave as complex systems? Analysis of patterns of attendance and implications for service delivery

BMC Medicine, 2018
Background The science of complex systems has been proposed as a way of understanding health services and the demand for them, but there is little quantitative evidence to support this.

Rational Tuning of Hygroscopic Oscillation of Stacked Nanoflake Assemblies for Continuous Ambient Energy Harvesting

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Stacked nanoflake assembly (SNA) membranes can oscillate autonomously, offering opportunities for soft actuation and energy harvesting. This work uncovers the physical mechanism behind the sustained oscillation of SNA membranes in gradient humidity and identifies three governing dimensionless parameters, enabling rational design for optimizing SNA ...

Escaping the Scaling Relationships in Oxygen Reduction Catalysis: Implications for PEM Fuel Cells

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Escaping the scaling relationships of the oxygen reduction reaction is vital for hydrogen fuel cells. This outlook examines how interfacial heterogeneity, spanning the subsurface lattice, chemisorption layer, and near‐interface solvation volume, mechanistically decouples intermediate binding energetics.
