Characteristics, properties and limitations of per‐ or polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) and fluoropolymers

open access: yesPolymer International, EarlyView.
An overview and categorization of man‐made per‐ or polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) including low‐molar‐mass and high‐molar‐mass fluorochemicals, and their international regulations is presented. Though certain PFASs are toxic, bioaccumulative and cross the human cellular membranes, others, such as fluoropolymers, are safe, reliable and involved in ...

Tuning the Morphology of Self‐Assembled Nanopatterns on MgO(001) Surfaces by Sequential Broad‐Beam Ion Irradiation

open access: yesphysica status solidi (RRL) – Rapid Research Letters, EarlyView.
A two‐step approach based on broad‐beam ion irradiation is demonstrated to produce fine‐tuned self‐assembled surface patterns on MgO(001). It shows an efficient route to modifying the crystalline MgO(001) surface topography in a controlled way, making use of its very specific behavior in terms of both the pattern morphology and patterning dynamics.

Unmanned Aerial Systems for Corrosion Detection: Multi‐Sensor Technologies, Challenges, and Opportunities for Next‐Generation Inspection

open access: yesQuality and Reliability Engineering International, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Corrosion remains a critical threat to the integrity and service life of infrastructure in industries such as oil, gas, construction, renewable energy, and transportation. Traditional inspection methods, being labor‐intensive, hazardous, and often subjective, fall short in addressing modern inspection demands.

How digital platforms affect local entrepreneurial activities: Evidence from the staggered entry of craigslist

open access: yesStrategic Entrepreneurship Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Research Summary Access to markets is critical for entrepreneurial success, yet many face significant barriers. This study argues that digital platforms functioning as peer‐to‐peer marketplaces can facilitate entrepreneurial activity by improving market access for new ventures.

Network Latency Estimation for Telesurgery Using Deep Reinforcement Learning

open access: yesSmartBot, EarlyView.
Overview of the proposed two‐stage deep reinforcement learning framework for network latency prediction in telesurgery. The pipeline includes data collection from simulated catheter navigation sessions (Philippines–Botswana), feature engineering, DQN‐based direction prediction (85.8% accuracy), direction‐to‐value transformation, and value forecasting ...

Exploiting Device Deformability for Fluid and Particle Manipulation

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Deformable devices enable fluid and particle manipulation modes that are inaccessible to rigid platforms. This review examines soft materials and architectures that translate controlled deformation into microscale fluid operations such as pumping, valving, mixing, and particle handling.

Synergizing Polysulfide Trapping and Fast Ion Kinetics Enabled by Poly(Acrylamide‐co‐Lithium Acrylate) Aqueous Binder for High‐Sulfur‐Loading Lithium–Sulfur Batteries

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
A water‐soluble AmLA binder anchors lithium polysulfides and reinforces sulfur cathodes by combining amide and lithium acrylate functional groups. The dual‐function network retards polysulfide dissolution in operando and preserves electrode integrity under large volume changes.

Defects That Magnetize Beyond Monolayer PtSe2

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
The presence of a complex point defect consisting of a Pt vacancy (black circle) and a PtSe antisite (red circle) revives and increases the quenched magnetism in bilayer PtSe2. Magnetic properties can be further modulated by the presence of an Se vacancy (blue circle), which can convert the ferromagnetic behavior into antiferromagnetic when it occurs ...

Manganese Oxide Catalysts for Lithium–Oxygen Batteries: Structures, Mechanisms, and Reaction Pathway Engineering

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
How do the morphologies, crystal structures, and electronic properties of manganese oxides influence oxygen reaction pathways in lithium–oxygen batteries (LOBs)? This review systematically summarizes structure‐dependent catalytic mechanisms and recent engineering strategies, highlighting how defect engineering, compositional modulation, and reaction ...
