Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Elephant‐skin‐inspired crack networks are programmed in porous diatomaceous earth (DE)‐cement composites using substrate‐guided, stress‐concentration induced fracture. The resulting crack lattices act as capillary conduits that redistribute water, while the porous matrix stores moisture.

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.An Aloe‐pinspired droplet electricity generator (A‐DEG) overcomes the limited energy collection zone of conventional DEGs by guiding impact droplets through a channeling midrib and artificial cuticle. The channeling midrib induces uni‐directional droplet spreading, while the artificial cuticle on the midrib further reinforces this behavior through its ...

Evaluation and auger analysis of a zinc-dialkyl-dithiophosphate antiwear additive in several diester lubricants [PDF]
The wear of pure iron in sliding contact with hardened M-2 tool steel was measured for a series of synthetic diester fluids, both with and without a zinc dialkyl dithiophosphate (ZDP) antiwear additive, as test lubricants.

Bistable Wetting States on a Smooth Surface
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.Droplets on non‐textured surfaces typically exhibit a monostable wetting state. Here, we show that droplets can exhibit bistability even without surface texture. We investigate water droplets on a smooth substrate immersed in oil. We find that molecular modulation causes the droplet states to bifurcate into either a sticking or a repellent state ...

Influence of Carbon Nanoparticles on Electrically Induced Wear of Grease‐Lubricated Steels
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.When an electric current enters a pair of rubbing surfaces, enormous damage takes place. In this research, how such damage occurs in the presence of protective grease and the mitigation with added carbon nanoparticles, were investigated. It was discovered that those particles regulate transport and interfacial electrical stability of the grease ...
