Nanothermometry in Living Cells: Physical Limits, Conceptual and Material Challenges

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Heat and temperature are fundamental to life. When nanothermometers began probing regions as small as a living cell, they triggered controversial claims of large intracellular temperature gradients. We review physical constraints energy‐conservation, entropy production, thermodynamic fluctuations, and molecular dynamics.

Probabilistic analysis of slab-column connections subjected to punching shear according to the ABNT NBR 6118 (2014) recommendations considering the model error measure

Revista IBRACON de Estruturas e Materiais, 2021
: Reinforced concrete flat slabs are structural systems in which slabs are directly supported by columns, without the use of beams. A structural phenomenon that deserves attention in these systems is the punching shear, characterized by the occurrence of

Towards the “ultimate earthquake-proof” building: Development of an integrated low-damage system [PDF]

, 2015
The 2010–2011 Canterbury earthquake sequence has highlighted the severe mismatch between societal expectations over the reality of seismic performance of modern buildings.

Polymorph‐Specific Electronic Transduction in WO3 during Molecular Sensing

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Metal‐oxide polymorphs with similar surface chemistry can nevertheless exhibit distinct sensing properties. In γ‐ and ε‐WO3, analyte adsorption appears comparable; yet, only ε‐WO3 induces a pronounced lattice electronic perturbation that accommodates charge in sub‐conduction band minimum states.

Punching shear of edge column-slab connection subjected to unbalanced moment

Journal of Engineering and Applied Science
Studying flat slabs subjected to high punching shear stresses at edge columns is crucial due to the extra punching shear stresses caused by the unbalanced moments.

Overcoming Printing and Interfacial Challenges in Liquid Metal Direct Writing for Integrated Stretchable Electronics

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Liquid metal direct writing is advanced from a technological and fundamental point. Utilizing a kinematic bed, printing on large surfaces with irregularities is enabled. Furthermore, a pressure‐driven flow during printing is discovered that affects the thickness of traces.

Biomineralization of primary carbonate cements: a new biosignature in the fossil record from the Anisian of Southern Italy

Lethaia, EarlyView., 2021
Biomineralization is a generic term used to indicate biological‐mediated mineral formation. In carbonate mineralization, nucleation of crystals can be: (1) controlled directly by the organisms, like in the skeletal formation of most metazoans; (2) induced by microbial communities, by indirect precipitation mediated by their metabolic activities; or (3)

Seismic behavior of RC slab-column connection with openings strengthened with CFRP

Case Studies in Construction Materials, 2022
The construction of openings next to the columns may be necessary for two-way reinforced concrete slab systems. The ultimate strength of the slab is reduced by these openings, particularly when subjected to cyclic loads.
