Electroless Plating of PLA and PETG for 3D Printed Flexible Substrates

ECS Transactions, 2015
The NiP and Cu electroless metallization of 3D printed polymers is presented. The plating process is tested on suitable samples, which reproduce the printing morphologies used in the 3d printing of objects. An alkaline etching is used for both the polymers in order to modify the surface properties and enhance the adhesion and uniformity of the metallic

The Complete Plastid Genome of Astrohibiscus caesius (Hibisceae, Malvaceae) and Its Phylogenetic Placement

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
The complete plastid genome of Astrohibiscus caesius has a typical quadripartite structure (161,092 bp) and encodes 112 unique genes with an AT‐rich bias. Phylogenomic analysis confirms that Hibiscus is polyphyletic and Astrohibiscus forms a distinct lineage outside all major Hibiscus clades, providing whole‐plastome evidence supporting this monotypic ...

AlignPCA‐2D: PCA‐reduced Euclidean vector alignment for 2D classification in cryo‐EM

Acta Crystallographica Section D, Volume 82, Issue 7, Page 727-739, July 2026.
We introduce AlignPCA‐2D, a PCA‐space Euclidean alignment method for rapid and interpretable 2D classification of cryo‐EM particle images. The approach preserves essential structural variability while greatly reducing computational cost, offering a lightweight alternative to existing large‐scale cryo‐EM classification pipelines.Cryogenic electron ...
