A critical knowledge gap currently exists regarding the potential risks of exposure to nanoplastics (NPs), particularly early in life during key stages of growth and development. Globally abundant plastics, polyamide (nylon) and polystyrene (PS), exi...

This study investigates the simulation of interactions between cells and antibacterial nanostructured surfaces. Understanding the physical interaction forces between cells and nanostructured surfaces is crucial for developing antibacterial materials,...

A multi-vane and multi-slit electrospinning nozzle for diversion was proposed to respond to the issues of easiness of clogging, existing End Effect among needles in current multi-needle electrospinning, and uncontrollable Taylor cone position in need...

A two-step annealing treatment was applied on a fully transparent amorphous InGaZnO4 (a-IGZO) top-gate thin-film transistor (TG-TFT) to improve the device performance. The electrical properties and stabilities of a-IGZO TG TFTs were significantly imp...

Thermal detectors, owing to their broadband spectral response and ambient operating temperature capabilities, represent a key technological avenue for surpassing the inherent limitations of traditional photon detectors. A fundamental trade-off exists...

We investigate the resonant characteristics of planar surfaces and distinct edges of structures with the excitation of phonon-polaritons. We analyze two materials supporting phonon-polariton excitations in the mid-infrared spectrum: silicon carbide,...

The emphasis on physical activity and health monitoring has increased the demand for developing multifunctional, flexible sensors through straightforward methods. A hydrophobic, breathable, and flexible strain sensor was prepared using a filtration m...

Green-synthesized gel materials can efficiently absorb and remove organic dyes from wastewater. This investigation designed and synthesized a novel modification method of sodium alginate gel beads based on the protein glycosylation reaction (Maillard...

Silicon could revolutionize the performance of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to its formidable theoretical gravimetric capacity, approximately ten times that of graphite. However, huge volume expansion during charge/discharge processes and poor el...

Metal anodes, such as those based on Ca, Mg, Na and Li, are considered to be one of the keys to the further development of high-energy-density rechargeable batteries. The thickness of these metal anodes directly affects the energy density of the batt...
