Inorganic Dielectric Materials Coupling Micro‐/Nanoarchitectures for State‐of‐the‐Art Biomechanical‐to‐Electrical Energy Conversion Devices

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Biomechanical‐to‐electrical energy conversion devices are uniquely suited for self‐driven physiological information monitoring and powering human–computer interaction systems. These devices based on micro‐/nanoarchitectured inorganic dielectric materials (MNIDMs) have shown ultrahigh electromechanical performance and thus great potential for practical ...

MICA-specific nanobodies for diagnosis and immunotherapy of MICA+ tumors

Frontiers in Immunology
MICA and MICB are Class I MHC-related glycoproteins that are upregulated on the surface of cells in response to stress, for instance due to infection or malignant transformation. MICA/B are ligands for NKG2D, an activating receptor on NK cells, CD8+ T cells, and γδ T cells.

Superior Adhesion of Monolayer Amorphous Carbon to Copper

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
The adhesion energy of monolayer amorphous carbon on copper substrate is 85 J m−2, 13 times higher than that of graphene due to covalent‐like bonding between the sp2 carbon structure to copper. X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), near‐edge X‐ray absorption (NEXAFS), and (density functional theory) DFT calculations are used to elucidate the ...

Retouching with Mica Pigments

e-conservation Journal, 2013
Mica pigments are defined as a type of interference pigments with high reflective and refractive properties. In the second half of the 20th century, these pigments have become an additional material to the retouching palettes of conservator-restorers, in particular for reconstructing the losses of metallic surfaces. However, their feature to manipulate

Immune evasion by TGFβ-induced miR-183 repression of MICA/B expression in human lung tumor cells

Oncoimmunology, 2019
Immune escape is a hallmark of cancer. In human lung cancer, we have identified a unique microRNA (miR)-based pathway employed by tumor cells to repress detection by immune cells via the NKG2D-MICA/B receptor-ligand system.

Mussel‐Inspired Molecular Strategies for Fabricating Functional Materials With Underwater Adhesion and Self‐Healing Properties

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This review systematically examines the nanomechanical mechanisms of mussel‐inspired molecular interactions, primarily investigated by direct force measurement techniques such as surface forces apparatus and atomic force microscopy. The macroscopic adhesive and self‐healing performances of mussel‐inspired functional materials, including coacervates ...

The Colours of the Striæ in Mica [PDF]

Nature, 1918
ON examining even the most regularly split and transparent pieces of mica by diffuse reflected light, a few fine hair-like and rather irregular lines may generally be seen running along the surface. We have found that these lines or striae show some very interesting effects when mica is examined in a Topler “Schlieren” apparatus.
