Host‐Directed Biomaterials for Combatting Bloodstream Infections: From Macrocyclic Peptides to Immune‐Activating Cell Backpacks

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bloodstream infections (BSI) are one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity in both civilian and military populations. This paper summarizes recent progress in novel treatment strategies to manage BSI arising from both bacterial and fungal pathogens using molecules, particles, and materials to elicit host‐directed immunity.

Sandwich construction for keyed sponges: independence between capacity and construction queries [PDF]

IET Information Security, 2018
In this study, the authors study the pseudo‐random function (PRF) security of keyed sponges. ‘Capacity’ is a parameter of a keyed sponge that usually defines a dominant term in the PRF‐security bound. The previous works have improved the capacity term in the PRF‐security bound of the ‘prefix’ keyed sponge, where a secret key is ...

Smart, Bio‐Inspired Polymers and Bio‐Based Molecules Modified by Zwitterionic Motifs to Design Next‐Generation Materials for Medical Applications

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bio‐based and (semi‐)synthetic zwitterion‐modified novel materials and fully synthetic next‐generation alternatives show the importance of material design for different biomedical applications. The zwitterionic character affects the physiochemical behavior of the material and deepens the understanding of chemical interaction mechanisms within the ...

Hydrogen‐Bond‐Rich Supramolecular Multiblock Copolymers Facilitate Rapid Zn2+ Migration in Quasi‐Solid‐State Zinc‐Ion Batteries

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The disordered growth of dendrites, corrosion, parasitic side reactions, slow de‐solvation kinetics, and inherent safety risks significantly hinder the practical deployment of conventional liquid electrolyte zinc‐ion batteries. In contrast, the novel PU‐EG+DMPA‐Zn polyurethane quasi‐solid‐state electrolyte, enriched with abundant polar functional ...

Applicability Analysis of Construction Waste Recycled Aggregate in Construction of Sponge City

DEStech Transactions on Environment, Energy and Earth Sciences, 2020
As the construction of sponge cities in China is in full swing, it is necessary to use a lot of crushed stones and gravels, which will damage the ecological environment. It is imminent to use recycled aggregates to replace natural crushed stones and gravels for sponge city construction.

Mechanotransducing Organic Electrochemical Diode for Crosstalk‐Inhibited Artificial Skin

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
An innovative approach is presented to a stretchable mechanotransducing diode that unifies rectification and tactile‐sensing functionality. This approach enables to fabricate the diode that maintains a large rectification ratio (5 × 102) at a high operational frequency (100 Hz).

Security of the Suffix Keyed Sponge

IACR Transactions on Symmetric Cryptology, 2020
We formalize and analyze the general suffix keyed sponge construction, a pseudorandom function built on top of a cryptographic permutation. The construction hashes its data using the (keyless) sponge construction, transforms part of the state using the ...
