A wireless, battery-free device enables oxygen generation and immune protection of therapeutic xenotransplants in vivo by Krishnan, Siddharth R, Liu, Claudia, Bochenek, Matthew A, Bose, Suman, Khatib, Nima, Walters, Ben, O’Keeffe, Laura, Facklam, Amanda, Langer, Robert, Anderson, Daniel G

“…However, a lack of vasculature and the formation of fibrotic capsules around cell immune-isolating devices limits oxygen availability, leading to hypoxia and cell death in vivo. This is particularly problematic for pancreatic islet cells that have high O2 requirements. …”

Highly efficient and salt rejecting solar evaporation via a wick-free confined water layer by Zhang, Lenan, Li, Xiangyu, Zhong, Yang, Leroy, Arny, Xu, Zhenyuan, Zhao, Lin, Wang, Evelyn N

“…Here, we demonstrate highly efficient (>80% solar-to-vapor conversion efficiency) and salt rejecting (20 weight % salinity) solar evaporation by engineering the fluidic flow in a wick-free confined water layer. With mechanistic modeling and experimental characterization of salt transport, we show that natural convection can be triggered in the confined water. …”

What causes the low viscosity of ether-functionalized ionic liquids? Its dependence on the increase of free volume by Chen, Zhengjian, Xue, Tong, Lee, Jong-Min

“…In addition to the ability of the alkoxy chains to decrease viscosity (ηO/η, as low as 0.594) and its activation energy (ΔEη, as low as -4.14 kJ mol−1), they were also found to be able to increase the total free volume (ΔFVO, up to 4.93 mL mol−1), by using density and surface tension. …”
