Fluorine‐Free Soft Nanocomposites for High‐Speed Liquid Impact Repellence
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Fluorine‐free soft nanocomposite coatings are developed using silicone oil‐mediated mechanical‐stiffness control, enabling ‘dry’ liquid‐repellent surfaces that resist high‐speed water jet impacts up to ∼60 m/s. By tuning nanoparticle loading and oil content, the coatings also achieve >90% optical transparency, amphiphobicity with impact resistance to ...

Theories on the impact of weather on consumer spending and retail sales
Tržište, 2013 Weather affects four basic purchasing decisions: what, when, where and in what quantity to buy. Even though retail is not traditionally perceived to be a weather sensitive sector, results of studies show that weather has a significant impact on store ...

Integration of Low‐Voltage Nanoscale MoS2 Memristors on CMOS Microchips
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This article presents the first monolithic integration of nanoscale MoS2‐based memristors into the back‐end‐of‐line of foundry‐fabricated CMOS microchips in a one‐transistor‐one‐resistor (1T1R) architecture. The MoS2‐based 1T1R cells exhibit forming‐free, nonvolatile resistive switching with ultra‐low operating voltages, low cycle‐to‐cycle variability ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Many cancer nanotherapeutics, while potent, suffer from the inability to escape from the tumor vasculature, especially in the absence of endothelial permeability. In this work, ultrasmall gold nanoclusters could engineer nanomaterials induced endothelial leakiness (NanoEL) and harness strong NIR induced photothermal characteristics to suppress tumor ...

, 2013 Weather Derivatives were first introduced in the USA in 1997 and their creation was driven by the need of companies whose revenues were related to weather fluctuations to hedge against the risk of unwanted weather conditions. Weather Derivatives belong to a different class of derivatives as their underly¬ing asset (weather) is not tradable and this ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Bioprosthetic aortic valves have revolutionized the treatment of aortic stenosis, but their durability is limited by structural valve deterioration (SVD). This review focuses on the pericardial tissue at the heart of these valves, examining how its mechanical properties and calcification drive fatigue and failure.
