Autonomous Implants

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
An ideal implant should mimic native tissues such that it can integrate, sense, heal, and continue to function, i.e., be autonomous. Although early, there are good steps taken in this way, e.g., the development of stimuli‐responsive, self‐powering, self‐actuating, self‐healing, self‐regenerating, and self‐aware implants.

Copper Stress Response of Antibiotic‐Resistant and Copper‐Tolerant Enterococcus faecium and the Antibacterial Efficacy of Functionalized Copper Surfaces

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This study examines how different laser‐patterned copper and brass surfaces, including copper coatings, affect the survival of vancomycin‐resistant Enterococcus faecium. Using microscopy and genome analysis, the results show that copper tolerance varies between strains and can increase after vancomycin exposure.

A Novel Co3Se4‐CNFs Hybrid System as a Versatile Enhancer for Pd NPs Toward Ethylene Glycol Electrooxidation

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Pd nanoparticles anchored on a Co3Se4‐CNF hybrid support exhibit enhanced electrocatalytic performance for ethylene glycol oxidation in alkaline media. The synergistic interaction between Co3Se4 and CNFs improves electronic conductivity, promotes uniform Pd dispersion, and reduces charge transfer resistance, resulting in superior activity, durability ...
