Ligand effect on switching the rate-determining step of water oxidation in atomically precise metal nanoclusters by Liu, Zhihe, Tan, Hua, Li, Bo, Hu, Zehua, Jiang, De-en, Yao, Qiaofeng, Wang, Lei, Xie, Jianping

“…Herein, we employ atomically precise Au25 nanoclusters with different ligands (i.e., para-mercaptobenzoic acid, 6-mercaptohexanoic acid, and homocysteine) as paradigm electrocatalysts to demonstrate oxygen evolution reaction rate-determining step switching through ligand engineering. Au25 nanoclusters capped by para-mercaptobenzoic acid exhibit a better performance with nearly 4 times higher than that of Au25 NCs capped by other two ligands. …”

Pressure independent index for arterial pulse waveform by Ho, Clement Wei En.

“…However, the best parametric representation with regards to age was still CAP. The ∆A* (ABS) shows good potential and can be further explored by addressing the limitations and building on the recommendations mentioned in this report.…”

The formation of a carbon nanotube–graphene oxide core–shell structure and its possible applications by Dong, Xiaochen, Xing, Guichuan, Chan-Park, Mary B., Shi, Wenhui, Xiao, Ni, Wang, Jing, Yan, Qingyu, Sum, Tze Chien, Huang, Wei, Chen, Peng

“…Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and electrical characterization suggest that SWCNTs are completely wrapped by GO nano-sheets. The spontaneous formation of such a core–shell structure is due to the strong pi–pi stacking interaction between the two materials. …”

Lab-to-Market Design of an Electrodialysis-Based Home-Scale Water Desalination System by Floryan, Marie, Bowers, Quinn, Sternberg, Zachary, Gembali, Sahas, Goyal, Akshita, Bessette, Jonathan, Honarparvar, Soraya, Winter, Amos

“…Two critical design modules within the desalinator are explored — the system integration and fluid reversal mechanism and the electrodialysis stack end cap analysis. We developed a model framework that will output the validity of end cap designs based on established design requirements, designed fluid reversal mechanisms for distinct markets, and fabricated a prototype desalination cabinet that fits within the EFL’s design constraints. …”

Site-specific chemical and topological modifications to augment mRNA therapeutic potential by Aditham, Abhishek J.

“…We developed QRNAs, which are circRNAs that possess an unnaturally-linked inverted 7-methylguanosine (m7G) cap. QRNAs substantially outperform conventional circRNAs, given the low translation initiation efficiency of IRES compared to cap-dependent initiation. …”

RoughPy: streaming data is rarely smooth by Morley, S, Lyons, T

“…RoughPy is our new Python package that aims change the way we think about sequential streamed data, by viewing it through the lens of rough paths. In RoughPy, data is wrapped in a stream object which can be composed and queried to obtain signatures that can be used in analysis. …”

On the class S origin of spindle solutions by Bomans, P, Couzens, C

Study of zero Poisson’s ratio honeycomb composite structure by Chia, Yingxue

“…By using zero Poisson’s ratio honeycomb structure, it may relieve problems of fitting into “out of plane” structures into the desired product shape, allowing the honeycomb sandwich panels to wrap around 2D curved surfaces without geometric trimming and comprising mechanical properties. …”

Biomechanical model of index finger by Fok, Kim Seng.

“…The model had been verified by means of three simulations: flexion-extension ofjoints, pinch grip and power grasp. The simulation also demonstrated the relevance of modelling passive forces generated by structures such as ligaments and soft tissues in order to accurately reproduce the force patterns of the finger seen during movement and static manipulative postures. …”
