Structure–mechanics relationships of collagen fibrils in the osteogenesis imperfecta mouse model by Andriotis, O. G., Chang, S. W., Vanleene, M., Howarth, P. H., Davies, D. E., Shefelbine, S. J., Thurner, P. J., Buehler, Markus J

“…Comparing results from atomic force microscopy imaging and cantilever-based nanoindentation on collagen fibrils from OIM and wild-type (WT) animals, we found a 33% lower indentation modulus in OIM when air-dried (bound water present) and an almost fivefold higher indentation modulus in OIM collagen fibrils when fully hydrated (bound and unbound water present) in phosphate-buffered saline solution (PBS) compared with WT collagen fibrils. …”

Opposite Variability of Indonesian Throughflow and South China Sea Throughflow in the Sulawesi Sea by Wei, Jun, Li, M. T., Gordon, A. L., Wang, D. X., Rizzoli, Paola M

“…Budget analysis of the two major inflows revealed that the Luzon–Mindoro–Sibutu flow is enhanced southward during winter months and El Niño years, when more Kuroshio water intrudes into the SCS. This flow brings more buoyant SCS water into the western Sulawesi Sea through the Sibutu Strait, building up a west-to-east pressure head anomaly against the Mindanao–Sulawesi inflow and therefore resulting in a reduced outflow into the Makassar Strait. …”

Long-range wetting transparency on top of layered metal-dielectric substrates by Noginov, M. A., Barnakov, Yuri A., Prayakarao, Srujana, Bonner, Carl E., Narimanov, Evgenii E., Liberman, Vladimir

“…We have found that the wetting angle of water on top of MgF2 is highly sensitive to the thickness of the MgF2 layer and the nature of the underlying substrate that could be positioned as far as ~100 nm beneath the water/MgF2 interface. …”

Interfacial Polymerization on Dynamic Complex Colloids: Creating Stabilized Janus Droplets by He, Yuan, Savagatrup, Suchol, Zarzar, Lauren D., Swager, Timothy M

“…By comparing phase diagrams of a regular Janus droplet and a Janus droplet with the hemispherical shell, we show that the formation of the hemispherical shell nearly doubles the range of the Janus morphology and maintains the Janus morphology upon a certain degree of external perturbation (e.g., adding hydrocarbon–water or fluorocarbon–water surfactants). We attribute the increased stability of the Janus droplets to (1) the surfactant nature of polymeric shell formed and (2) increase in interfacial tension between hydrocarbon and fluorocarbon due to polymer shell formation. …”
