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.

Nucleation‐Controlled Reconstruction of CuOx for Selective CO2 Electroreduction

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The ratio of oxygen vacancies (Ov) and exposed Cu2O (111)/(200) of CuOx precatalyst is modulated by nucleation control of Cu(OH)2 precursor. Low Ov ratio and high ratio of Cu2O (111)/(200) in slow‐nucleated CuOx reconstructs to high‐coordinated oxide‐derived copper (OD‐Cu) during electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) and exhibits enhanced ...

Interfacial and Crystallographic Regulation of Zinc Anode via Electric Double Layer Reconstruction for Highly Stable Zn Anode

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Trace amounts of perfluoro‐1‐butanesulfonyl fluoride enables the regulation of the Zn/electrolyte interface by the generated zincophilic ─SO3H groups with long hydrophobic ─CF2 tails, which adsorb strongly onto the Zn surface, displace water molecules from the inner Helmholtz plane, and reconstruct the electrical double‐layer structure.

Adaptive Hydrogels With Spatiotemporal Stiffening Using pH‐Modulating Enzymes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The chemomechanical coupling in an adaptive hydrogel is studied to further the development of adaptive hydrogels. This coupling is achieved by embedding a pH‐modulating enzyme in a pH‐responsive hydrogel. The enzymatic reaction can be triggered locally, which generates a pH‐decreasing wave throughout the system, increasing the crosslinking density and ...

From longitudinal slab curvature to slab rheology

Geology, 2009
The curvature of a subducting lithosphere is chiefl y controlled by the viscosity ratio between the slab and the surrounding mantle. On the basis of a semi-analytical fl ow model, we explore the rheological dependence of the geometrical response of a viscous slab subjected to toroidal mantle fl ow.

Numerical modeling of torsion in rectangular reinforced concrete slabs [PDF]

Revista IBRACON de Estruturas e Materiais
The research analyzes the feasibility of employing the damage plasticity model - CDP model - in the modeling of reinforced concrete slabs subjected to torsion. To that goal, finite element models were developed using the commercial software Abaqus, which

Behavior of composite pre-flat slabs in resisting punching shear forces

Alexandria Engineering Journal, 2020
Due to large use of the composite pre-flat slabs “two layers slabs” especially manifested in pre-cast system slabs such as frequently used in bridge dicks, large thickness slabs casted on two layers or change usage of existing structure.
