Biomimetic coating-free surfaces for long-term entrapment of air under wetting liquids

open access: yesNature Communications, 2018
Trapping air at the solid-liquid interface is a promising strategy for reducing frictional drag but could not be realized without perfluorinated coatings so-far.

The Economics of Water: Taking Full Account of First Use, Reuse and Return to the Environment.A Report for the Australian Water Conservation and Reuse Research Program (AWCRRP). [PDF]

open access: yes
There has been a lot of discussion about water being undervalued in Australia. The nation's attention is presently focussed on water issues with the drought of 2002 - 2003, the deepening crisis with the River Murray and water rationing in a number of ...

Upcycling Keratin‐Based Textile Waste Into High‐Performance Hybrid Fibers Via Tuning the Interfacial Interactions

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Keratin recovered from animal‐hair textile waste is fractionated and blended with cellulose to produce continuously spun hybrid fibers. Selecting the high‐molecular‐weight keratin fraction enables 30 wt.% keratin incorporation while maintaining high strength in dry and wet states.

Electrical‐Programming‐Free Neural Crossbars Enabled by Photochemical Weight Patterning

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A flexible neural‐crossbar hardware system enabled by electrical‐programming‐free, mask‐defined, array‐parallel photochemical weight patterning is demonstrated. Trained weights are physically implemented across the array, supporting multilevel programming, bending‐stable operation and reconfiguration, substrate reuse, and low‐energy readout while ...
