Buckling‐Resistant and Trace‐Stacked (BRATS) Design Enables Aid‐Free Implantation of Flexible Multielectrode Array with Minimized Inflammatory Tissue Response

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Buckling‐resistant and trace‐stacked (BRATS) intracortical microelectrode arrays (MEAs) eliminate the need for insertion aid and complex surgical setup, resulting in minimal inflammatory tissue response, compared to conventional flexible MEAs inserted with aid. Trace stacking effectively doubled the channel count without increasing the MEA shank width,

Atomistic Studies of Nanoindentation—A Review of Recent Advances

Crystals, 2017
This review covers areas where our understanding of the mechanisms underlying nanoindentation has been increased by atomistic studies of the nanoindentation process. While such studies have been performed now for more than 20 years, recent investigations

Host‐Guest Inclusion Chemistry From Supramolecular Architecture Enabling Anti‐Biofouling Surfaces for Oesophagus Stents

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A slippery coating with exceptional anti‐biofouling performance is developed using biocompatible materials for oesophagus stents. Host‐guest inclusion complex formation capabilities of FDA‐approved supramolecules, cyclodextrins are exploited, which significantly enhances the stability of the surface.

Microscale Tin–Bismuth Alloy Prepared via Cooling Rate Control as Anode Material for High‐Performance Lithium‐Ion Batteries

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
To investigate the mechanisms about the enhanced buffering effect and morphological retention in fully lithiated Sn–Bi alloys, this study introduces a new bulk bimetallic Sn–Bi alloy with fine grains of uniformly distributed Sn and Bi alloys (≈50 nm) via cooling rate control. This design effectively relieves internal energy buildup and suppresses crack

Nanostructured Hydrogen‐Selective Palladium “Plug” Membranes Capable of Withstanding High Temperatures

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A nanostructured palladium membrane is developed for high‐temperature hydrogen separation, comprising isolated, thermally‐stable palladium plugs embedded within nanopores of a porous support. The membrane withstands high temperatures (1000 K for 100 h) without structural failure, demonstrating exceptional robustness over conventional metal membranes ...

Design of Sodium Chalcohalide Solid Electrolytes with Mixed Anions for All‐Solid‐State Sodium‐Ion Batteries

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A novel family of sodium hafnium chalcohalide SSEs is designed with dual‐anion frameworks. Compared to the halide SSEs, the mixed anion chalcohalide framework exhibits a more compact morphology, improved thermal and mechanical properties, and enhanced electrochemical performance with different cathode materials.

Direct imaging of short-range order and its impact on deformation in Ti-6Al. [PDF]

, 2019
Chemical short-range order (SRO) within a nominally single-phase solid solution is known to affect the mechanical properties of alloys. While SRO has been indirectly related to deformation, direct observation of the SRO domain structure, and its effects ...
