Thermodynamics: The Unique Universal Science

Entropy, 2017
Thermodynamics is a physical branch of science that governs the thermal behavior of dynamical systems from those as simple as refrigerators to those as complex as our expanding universe.

The Hungry Daemon: Does an Energy-Harvesting Active Particle Have to Obey the Second Law of Thermodynamics?

Entropy
Thought experiments like Maxwell’s Demon or the Smoluchowski–Feynman Ratchet can help in pursuing the microscopic origin of the Second Law of Thermodynamics.

Designed Liquid Crystalline Nanoassemblies From Clinically Validated Polyunsaturated Lipids for Combined Antioxidant, Anti‐Apoptotic, and Neurotrophic Treatments

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Ionizable lipid nanoparticles target multiple pathological pathways in neurodegeneration. The designed self‐assembled materials undergo a pH‐triggered structural transformation from a cubosome/hexosome coexistence to a hexosome phase, enhancing intracellular delivery of a multi‐target phytochemical formulation. The antioxidant‐loaded pH‐responsive LNPs

Exploring Different Extrapolation Approaches for the Critical Temperature of the 2D-Ising Model Based on Exactly Solvable Finite-Sized Lattices

Entropy
The fact that the Ising model in higher dimensions than 1D features a phase transition at the critical temperature Tc despite its apparent simplicity is one of the main reasons why it has lost none of its fascination and remains a central benchmark in ...

Single-Cell Reprogramming in Mouse Embryo Development through a Critical Transition State

Entropy, 2017
Our previous work on the temporal development of the genome-expression profile in single-cell early mouse embryo indicated that reprogramming occurs via a critical transition state, where the critical-regulation pattern of the zygote state disappears. In

Photothermal‐Activated Antibacterial Amyloid‐Polyphenol‐Iron Hydrogels for Synergistic Wound Healing

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
We report a thermally triggered supramolecular hydrogel (LTFe) formed by Fe3+ and tannic acid on lysozyme amyloid fibrils. Fe3+ enables rapid gelation and photothermal transduction with an efficiency of 88.56%. The LTFe hydrogel exhibits excellent biocompatibility, potent antibacterial activity against E. coli and S.

Revisions of the Phenomenological and Statistical Statements of the Second Law of Thermodynamics

Entropy
The status of the Second Law of Thermodynamics, even in the 21st century, is not as certain as when Arthur Eddington wrote about it a hundred years ago.

Mixed‐Metal Promotion in a Manganese‐Molybdenum Oxynitride as Catalyst to Integrate C─C and C─N Coupling Reactions for the Direct Synthesis of Acetonitrile from Syngas and Ammonia

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Transition metal oxy/carbo‐nitrides show great promise as catalysts for sustainable processes. A Mn‐Mo mixed‐metal oxynitride attains remarkable performance for the direct synthesis of acetonitrile, an important commodity chemical, via sequential C─N and C─C coupling from syngas (C1) and ammonia (N1) feedstocks.
