Development of polymer-based nanocomposites for underwater sound absorption

, 2021
Underwater sound can have a detrimental effect on marine animals due to the ever-increasing noise levels in their pristine habitat. It has also been commonly used to detect underwater floating objects via a sonar system. To absorb unwanted underwater sound, polymers (e.g., rubber), which have similar impedance to that of water, are widely used for ...

Chemically Programmable Underwater Sound‐Absorbing Metamaterial via MXene Self‐Assembly

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
MXene self‐assembly creates a chemically programmable underwater metamaterial with quasi‐periodic layers and a chemical‐physical multi‐level constraint system. A crosslinker as a ‘chemical scissor’ precisely edits microscopic interactions, exciting deep‐subwavelength strong local resonances that induce near‐zero/negative effective bulk modulus (Keff ...

Integrative Omics Analysis Reveals the Regulation of Hypoxia Tolerance in Large Yellow Croaker (Larimichthys crocea) via the Lipoic Acid Synthase (lias) Gene

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Lipoic acid synthase (lias) can regulate α‐KG levels through lipoylation, thereby negatively regulating HIF‐1α protein levels via PHD under hypoixa. The Hap2 allele of lias exhibits lower expression levels than Hap1, leading to the accumulation of more HIF‐1α protein and thereby enhancing hypoxia tolerance. ABSTRACT Hypoxia stress seriously affects the
