Materials and Music: Selective Imperfection as a Generative Framework for Analysis, Creativity and Discovery

Interdisciplinary Materials, EarlyView.
Vibrations in matter, from spider webs to molecules, water to flames, share a grammar with music. We propose that creativity emerges when constraints force expansion beyond existing possibilities. Selective imperfection restores balance, enabling invention.

Integrated phytochemical and bioactivity profiling of Xanthium strumarium fruits from Korea and China: Implications for origin‐specific quality specification

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Geographic origin influences the phytochemical composition and biological activities of medicinal plant resources. Xanthium strumarium L. (XS) fruit is widely used in East Asian traditional medicine. However, current pharmacopeial standards primarily recognize Chinese‐derived material, despite the availability and traditional use of

Interaction With Surface Spins as a Contribution to Nuclear Magnetic Relaxation of Liquids Adsorbed in Mesoporous Materials

Magnetic Resonance in Chemistry, EarlyView.
Liquids at silica interfaces experience demixing as a consequence of their respective polarity. The distribution of liquids and their primary relaxation contributions are studied by surface modification with OD and radical moieties, respectively. ABSTRACT NMR relaxation of liquids in the presence of solid interfaces, such as silica gel or porous glass,

Effect of Nanosilica Aggregates/Agglomerates on Functional Properties of Poly(Butylene 2,5‐Furandicarboxylate)‐Based Nanocomposites

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Effect of nanosilica aggregates/agglomerates on oxygen and water vapor diffusivity of PBF/SiO2 nanocomposites. ABSTRACT The nanofillers inclusions in poly(butylene 2,5‐furandicarboxylate) (PBF)/SiO2 nanocomposites were found to consist of aggregates and agglomerates of nanosilica particles.

Iron(III) ion reinforced P(NiPAAm‐co‐AA) beads as tunable smart organogels

Polymer International, EarlyView.
Macroporous beads of PNiPAAm‐co‐AA copolymers were further crosslinked by iron(III) ions. The resulting beads are mechanically robust and reversibly responsive to a change of solvent from ethanol to ethyl acetate with half‐lives in the range of minutes.

Effects of ammonia addition on the soot nanostructure and oxidation reactivity in n-heptane/toluene diffusion flames

Fuel Processing Technology
Co-firing NH3 with conventional hydrocarbon fuels is an important approach for reducing CO2 emissions in existing combustion systems. Besides CO2, the blending of NH3 would also notably affect soot formation and its oxidation behaviors.

Seasonal Variation in Carbon Dynamics in the Lower Tocantins River: Influence of Discharge and Environmental Drivers

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tropical rivers play a key role in regional carbon budgets, yet greenhouse gas (GHG) dynamics in regulated systems remain poorly understood. This study investigates the seasonal variability of carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) concentrations, isotopic composition (δ13C), and river‐atmosphere fluxes in the lower Tocantins River, a ...

Photo‐Activated Merging Cascades in Droplet Swarms Upon Synergistic Solvation of Surfactants

Small, EarlyView.
UV activates the motility of UV‐responsive droplets through a decylammonium/carbamate crystalline layer at the air/water interface. Upon merging with immobilized C12E3 surfactant droplets in the layer, hybrid droplets form which dissolve the layer due to synergistic solvation. In large droplet fields, this non‐linear behavior drives cascading events of

Chemical effects of natural gas components on polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and soot formation in inverse diffusion flames

Case Studies in Thermal Engineering
This work investigates the chemical effects of ethane, propane, and butane substitution for methane on flame properties and sooting behaviors in inverse diffusion flames of natural gas in different ratios by a decoupling method.
