Mileage of Motor Vehicles in 2004 Higher Than Ever Before [PDF]

open access: yes
2003 saw a slight decline in the mileage of vehicle kilometers driven annually by all German road passenger and freight vehicles. This development did not continue in 2004; instead the mileage, at 697 billion vehicle kilometers, was higher than ever ...

Granular Hydrogels as Brittle Yield Stress Fluids

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
This work reports the Kamani‐Donley‐Rogers yield stress fluid model can describe granular hydrogel deformation. The model robustly captures transient rheology and self‐healing behavior for granular gels of varying composition using only six parameters. This framework provides new insight regarding the effect of material parameters on granular yielding ...

Mechanoresponsive Hydrogels Emerging from Dynamic and Non‐Covalent Interactions

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Mechanoresponsive behaviors in hydrogels often arise from dynamic or non‐covalent interactions between polymer chains. This review highlights self‐healing, shear‐thinning, shear‐thickening, and strain‐stiffening hydrogels formed through dynamic crosslinking motifs, discussing their underlying mechanisms and emergent applications across biomedical and ...

Reengineering Endogenous Targeting Lipid Nanoparticles (ENDO) for Systemic Delivery of mRNA to Pancreas

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
ENDO lipid nanoparticles containing cholecalciferol as a fifth component demonstrate mRNA delivery to the pancreas with 99% selectivity, including beta cells. This platform shows minimal toxicity and sustained protein expression for up to 3 days in a dose‐dependent manner, offering a novel approach to pancreas‐specific mRNA delivery and gene therapy ...

Carbon Quantum Dots Assisted Virus Tracking: From Skin to Brain

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
A novel carbon quantum dots‐dissolvable microneedle, CQDs‐dMN system, enables painless delivery and real‐time tracking of HSV‐1. The HSV‐1 is labeled with fluorescent CQDs and delivered to the skin dermis, minimizing damage compared to traditional methods.
