A Geometrically Transient Platform for Bioelectronic Implants

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Minimally invasive bioelectronic implants often compromise performance for smaller sizes. To resolve this optimization dilemma, a wireless bioelectronic implant with a transient geometry is introduced (MiFi). The origami‐inspired device miniaturizes up to sixfold for syringe insertion and autonomously unfolds post‐implantation.

Noise reduction in heat pumps

, 2001
If not designed and installed properly in a suitable location, heat pumps can produce noise at nuisance levels for adjacent residents. Various (national and international) systems and guidelines used for measuring, predicting and regulating noise levels ...

Stimuli‐Responsive Hierarchical Structuring Controls Survival and Programs Hydrogelation of Supramolecular Metallofibers

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Aqueous Zn(II) Salphen metallofibers decorated with PNIPAM undergo reversible, multi‐stimuli‐responsive hierarchical bundling. This higher‐order structuring kinetically stabilizes the otherwise fragile assemblies against dilution, acidic hydrolysis, and transmetallation, enables selective sorting of responsive fibers, and programs hydrogelation at ...

Angstrom‐Scale Confined Ion Sieve and Accelerator for Efficient Aqueous Zinc Batteries

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
An angstrom‐scale confined ion accelerator strategy is proposed for ultra‐stable aqueous Zn anodes. Selective and precise transport of hydrated Zn(H2O)62+, Zn2+ cations, H2O molecules, and SO42− anions is achieved by in‐plane atomic Ti vacancies and angstrom‐scale interlayer free spacing within the Ti0.87O2 interfacial layer, leading to homogeneous Zn ...

Examination of Culture, Place and Environmental Heat Stress on Fluid Intake and Hydration Status Among Latino Farmworkers

, 2023
Agriculture is one of the most dangerous occupations in the United States, including a disproportion risk of death from heat-related illnesses (HRIs). Proper hydration mitigates HRI, yet farmworkers report not drinking water due to various pretexts.

Heat of Hydration by Inverse Method

, 2007
Numerous laboratory techniques have been developed for determination of the heat of hydration of cement based materials, ranging from sophisticated (micro)calorimeters to (semi-)adiabatic temperature measurements at the centre of a large insulated block of representative sample.
