Results of an Ocean Trial of the Symbiotic Machine for Ocean Uranium Extraction by Haji, Maha N., Drysdale, Jessica A., Haji, Maha Niametullah, Buesseler, Ken O., Slocum, Alexander H.

“…Water flow in the shells on each prototype was determined using the measurement of radium adsorbed by MnO 2 impregnated acrylic fibers contained within each enclosure. The results from a nine-week ocean trial show that while movement of the shells through the water may not have an effect on uranium adsorption by the fibers encased, it could help reduce biofouling if above a certain threshold speed (resulting in increased uptake), while also allowing for the incorporation of design elements to further mitigate biofouling such as bristle brushes and UV lamps. …”

Enhanced charge carrier lifetime and mobility as a result of Rb and Cs incorporation in hybrid perovskite by Erodici, Matthew P, Pierone, Polly J, Hartono, Noor Titan Putri, Hidalgo, Juanita, Lai, Barry, Buonassisi, Tonio, Correa-Baena, Juan-Pablo, Sher, Meng-Ju

“…When both Rb and Cs are introduced, however, the high mobility is maintained and the charge carrier lifetime increases considerably. Our results show that when incorporated alone, Rb and Cs have very similar roles in a perovskite crystal, but when co-added, halide distribution becomes homogenized correlating with improved charge transport properties.…”

3D printing of conducting polymers by Yuk, Hyunwoo, Lu, Baoyang, Lin, Shen, Qu, Kai, Xu, Jingkun, Luo, Jianhong, Zhao, Xuanhe

“…Here we introduce a high-performance 3D printable conducting polymer ink based on poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) for 3D printing of conducting polymers. The resultant superior printability enables facile fabrication of conducting polymers into high resolution and high aspect ratio microstructures, which can be integrated with other materials such as insulating elastomers via multi-material 3D printing. …”

Cytoskeletal tension actively sustains the migratory T‐cell synaptic contact by Kumari, Sudha, Mak, Michael, Poh, Yeh Chuin, Tohme, Mira, Watson, Nicki, Melo, Mariane Bandeira, Janssen, Erin, Dustin, Michael, Geha, Raif, Irvine, Darrell J

“…Here we identify an antigen-triggered mechanism that actively promotes T-cell synapse symmetry by generating cytoskeletal tension in the plane of the synapse through focal nucleation of actin via Wiskott–Aldrich syndrome protein (WASP), and contraction of the resultant actin filaments by myosin II. Following T-cell activation, WASP is degraded, leading to cytoskeletal unraveling and tension decay, which result in synapse breaking. …”

Measures of reconfigurability and its key characteristics in intelligent manufacturing systems by Farid, Amro M

“…While these technological advances have demonstrated robust operation and been qualitatively successful in achieving reconfigurability, limited effort has been devoted to the measurement of reconfigurability in the resultant systems. Hence, it is not clear (1) to which degree these designs have achieved their intended level of reconfigurability, (2) which systems are indeed quantitatively more reconfigurable and (3) how these designs may overcome their design limitations to achieve greater reconfigurability in subsequent design iterations. …”

Optimizing Oxygen Reduction Catalyst Morphologies from First Principles by Ahmad, Ehsan A., Tileli, Vasiliki, Kramer, Denis, Mallia, Giuseppe, Stoerzinger, Kelsey A., Shao-Horn, Yang, Kucernak, Anthony R., Harrison, Nicholas M.

“…Catalytic activity of perovskites for oxygen reduction (ORR) was recently correlated with bulk d-electron occupancy of the transition metal. We expand on the resultant model, which successfully reproduces the high activity of LaMnO[subscript 3] relative to other perovskites, by addressing catalyst surface morphology as an important aspect of the optimal ORR catalyst. …”
