Antibacterial and Biocompatible Iodine-Releasing Polycationic Coatings Synthesized by Solvent-Free Initiated Chemical Vapor Deposition

Abstract Bacterial adhesion to surfaces of medical devices may cause medical device-associated infections. This challenge can be addressed by surface modification utilizing antibacterial coatings. Polycationic coatings possess excellent antibacterial activity, but their biocompat...

Deuterium Magnetic Resonance Imaging Tracking of Deuterium Gas Releasing from Microneedle Patches for Wound Healing as a Stable Isotope Analogue of Hydrogen Gas Therapy

Abstract Hydrogen gas therapy has attracted considerable attention for the treatment of oxidative stress-related diseases owing to its excellent biosafety, selective antioxidant activity, and anti-inflammatory effects. However, its small molecular size, rapid diffusion, and short...

Manipulating Crystallization and Deprotonation Reaction through Surface Engineering of ZnO for Bright and Stable Near-Infrared Perovskite LEDs

Abstract Perovskite light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have attracted significant attention owing to their rapidly increasing external quantum efficiencies (EQEs). However, achieving bright and operationally stable perovskite LEDs remains a great challenge. Here, we reveal that the mos...

FEM-ANN-GNN modeling of MHD Darcy–Forchheimer Boger nanofluid flow with coupled heat–mass transfer in a Y-shaped hourglass cavity

Purpose This study aims to numerically investigate steady two-dimensional MHD Darcy–Forchheimer mixed convection flow of a Boger nanofluid (Cu/H2O) with coupled heat and mass transfer inside a Y-shaped hourglass cavity containing a cylindrical obstacle, incorporating thermal radi...

Study on Contact Characteristics of Aeronautical Floating Splines Considering Maneuvering Deformation

Floating involute splines are widely used in aviation power transmission systems for torque transmission. In this study, a finite element model considering the dynamic deformation of a floating involute spline shaft was established to analyze the influence of shaft deformation on...

Maxwell’s Displacement Current-Driven Wireless System for Self-Powered Multichannel Sensing and Communication

Abstract Acquiring sensory data from physically isolated environments remains a fundamental challenge for the battery-free Internet of Things (IoT). Herein, we report a self-powered, multichannel wireless sensing and communication system driven by Maxwell’s displacement current f...

Vaporization-Guided Morphology Evolution Enables Precision Control in Blade-Coated Organic Solar Cells

Abstract Controlling the morphology evolution of blade-coated bulk-heterojunction active layers is crucial for achieving high-efficiency organic solar cells (OSCs), yet remains challenging because rapid solvent evaporation and unbalanced donor–acceptor aggregation often lead to p...

DiastereoselectiveAddition of Racemic α-BorylOrganozinc Reagents to Aldimines

Abstract The addition of alkylzinc reagents to imines is a key route to amines, but suffers from poor selectivity when racemic secondary alkylzincs are employed. Herein, we report a transition-metal-free diastereoselective addition of racemic α-boryl organozincs to aldimines, aff...

A Dragonfly Wing-InspiredMXene-Reinforced Soy ProteinAdhesive with Balanced Strength, Toughness, and Multifunctionality

Abstract Replacing petroleum-derived wood adhesives with soy protein isolate (SPI) offers a sustainable alternative, yet the practical application of SPI is severely hindered by its intrinsic poor water resistance and mechanical fragility. To overcome these drawbacks, we develope...

Counterintuitive Temperature-Dependent Interfacial Thermal Resistance in Twisted van der Waals Interfaces

Precise control of interfacial thermal resistance (ITR) is essential for thermal management in van der Waals (vdW) devices. Here, we report a counterintuitive temperature-dependent reversal of ITR in twisted PtX2 (X = S, Se, Te) interfaces. At near-commensurate small twist angles...
