Effect of Biochar Application on Physicochemical and Hydraulic Properties of Loess

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, 2020
Biochar is important for optimizing soil physical structure and improving soil water retention. The saturated water capacity test, water repellency test, and permeability coefficient test were used to study the effects of biochar additive amount (0, 2, 5,

Flexible Thin‐Film Heater Composed of Laser‐Induced Graphene and Poly(D, L‐Lactic Acid) with Electro‐ and Photo‐Thermal Properties toward Cancer Thermotherapy

open access: yesAdvanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
This study introduces a thin‐film‐type heat‐generating device that uses laser induced graphene (LIG) on a poly(D, L‐lactic) acid film, which realizes both resistance heating by direct current application and photothermal conversion heating by near‐infrared light irradiation.

Designing bioinspired superoleophobic surfaces

open access: yesAPL Materials, 2016
Nature provides a range of functional surfaces, for example, water-repellent or superhydrophobic surfaces, most common among them the lotus leaf. While water-repellency is widespread in nature, oil-repellency is typically limited to surfaces submerged in

In‐Sensor Computing by Soft Threshold Logic Gates Under Different Humidity Conditions

open access: yesAdvanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
Soft nanocomposite materials, based on gold cluster‐assembled thin films implanted in polydimethylsiloxane substrate, can perform reliable processing in ambient environmental conditions. Humidity influences the resistive switching and computational capabilities of the nanocomposites, that can be used as multifunctional material combining sensing ...

Use of a highly dispersed chalk additive for the production of concrete for transport structures

open access: yesMATEC Web of Conferences, 2018
The concretes used for transport infrastructure facilities are exposed to the active impact of corrosive environment; therefore, such concretes face raised demands as for water repellency, frost resistance and corrosion resistance.

Design Principles of Electrocatalysts for Industrial‐Scale Water Electrolysis

open access: yesAdvanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
This Review distills electrocatalyst design for industrial‐scale water electrolysis into integrated principles linking active‐site engineering, phase and lattice modulation, interfacial microenvironment regulation and mass‐transport control. By connecting catalyst families with HER/OER mechanisms and practical operating demands, it outlines pathways ...

Development of a universal microinfiltrometer to estimate extent and persistence of soil water repellency as a function of capillary pressure and interface chemical composition

open access: yesJournal of Hydrology and Hydromechanics, 2020
Microinfiltrometers to assess soil water repellency (SWR) are limited to small tension ranges and have different technical setups, hindering a comparison between results from different laboratories.

Autonomous AI‐Driven Design for Skin Product Formulations

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
This review presents a comprehensive closed‐loop framework for autonomous skin product formulation design. By integrating artificial intelligence‐driven experiment selection with automated multi‐tiered assays, the approach shifts development from trial‐and‐error to intelligent optimisation.

Glycosylated dendrimer nanoamplifiers hijack DNA damage‐immune crosstalk for enhanced dual‐track therapy of orthotopic glioblastoma

open access: yesBMEMat, EarlyView.
A glycosylated dendrimer nanoamplifier hijacks DNA damage‐immune crosstalk for enhanced radio‐immunotherapy of glioblastoma. The responsive release of demethylcantharidin simultaneously blocks repair‐mediated resistance by inhibiting DNA repair and overcomes adaptive immune resistance.

Oxygenophilic Cerium Promotes Active Species Generation and Modulates the Interfacial Water Network in Electrocatalytic Water Oxidation

open access: yesCarbon Energy, EarlyView.
CeO2 dendrites are introduced to modify the NiSx/C3N4 nanorods, constructing hexagonal star‐like forest arrays (CeO2@NiSx/C3N4). The oxophilicity of Ce species generates abundant oxygen vacancies, which subsequently facilitate the in situ evolution of active amorphous NiOOH.
