The stomatopod dactyl club : a formidable damage-tolerant biological hammer by Weaver, James C., Milliron, Garrett W., Mershon, William J., DiMasi, Elaine, Kisailus, David, Miserez, Ali, Evans-Lutterodt, Kenneth, Herrera, Steven, Gallana, Isaias, Swanson, Brook, Zavattieri, Pablo

“…The dactyl clubs from one species, Odontodactylus scyllarus, exhibit an impressive set of characteristics adapted for surviving high-velocity impacts on the heavily mineralized prey on which they feed. Consisting of a multiphase composite of oriented crystalline hydroxyapatite and amorphous calcium phosphate and carbonate, in conjunction with a highly expanded helicoidal organization of the fibrillar chitinous organic matrix, these structures display several effective lines of defense against catastrophic failure during repetitive high-energy loading events.…”

Splatter image: ultra-fast single-view 3D reconstruction by Szymanowicz, S, Rupprecht, C, Vedaldi, A

“…We apply Gaussian Splatting to monocular reconstruction by learning a neural network that, at test time, performs reconstruction in a feed-forward manner, at 38 FPS. Our main innovation is the surprisingly straightforward design of this network, which, using 2D operators, maps the input image to one 3D Gaussian per pixel. …”

Ceria-boosted Ni/Al2O3 catalysts for enhanced H2 production via acetic acid dry reforming by Nguyen, Anh-Tam, Ng, Kim Hoong, Kumar, Ponnusamy Senthil, Pham, Thuy-Phuong T., Herma Dina, Setiabudi, Yusuf, Mohammad, Pham, Le Kim Hoang, Thao, Bui T. Thu, Aishah, Abdul Jalil, Mahadi, Bahari, Al-Kahtany, Khaled, Vo, Dai-Viet N.

“…In this work, Ce pro motion on 10%Ni/Al2O3 catalysts with 1-5 wt%Ce was evaluated for ADR at varied temperatures of 923–998 K and stoichiometric feed in a fixed-bed rig. CeO2 addition of 1–3% enhanced metal dispersion, and surface area whilst basic CeO2 character significantly boosted the concentration and density of basic sites on catalysts. …”

Characterisation of red palm oil microcapsule with solution-enhanced dispersion by supercritical carbon dioxide technology by Lee, Wan Jun

“…The RPO was then microencapsulated with SEDS at 10.0– 15.0 MPa, 40– 60°C, and feed injection flow rate 2.5 mL/min. The microcapsules were characterised in terms of their physical, structural, and thermal properties and also their oxidative stability. …”

Rethinking speech sound disorder (SSD) in non-syndromic cleft lip and palate: the importance of recognizing phonological and language difficulties by van Eeden, S, McKean, C, Stringer, H

“…There is growing evidence of concomitant language difficulties in children with CP ± L and of a higher prevalence of developmental speech errors in children compared with non-CP ± L peers. The impact of underlying phonological and language skills on speech production in children with CP ± L is poorly understood. …”

Selective sulfidation of metal compounds by Stinn, Caspar, Allanore, Antoine

“…Several simple process levers (gas partial pressure, gas flowrate, carbon addition) were demonstrated to selectively sulfidize a target metal from a mixed metal oxide feed. The physical and chemical differences between the sulfide and oxide compounds (e.g. density, magnetic susceptibility, surface chemistry) can then be exploited for vastly improved separation over liquid-liquid methods9. …”

Post-treatment of anaerobic membrane bioreactor (AnMBR) effluent using activated carbon by Mai, Do Thi, Kunacheva, Chinagarn, Stuckey, David C.

“…Anaerobic membrane bioreactors (AnMBR) are very effective for wastewater treatment, however, with the antibiotic ciprofloxacin (CIP) (0-4.7 mg CIP/L) in the feed their performance decreases, the characteristics of the effluent changes, and further treatment is needed to recycle or discharge the treated effluent. …”

“Materials Science” Challenges in the Additive Manufacturing of Industrial Parts by Hascoet, Jean-Yves, Marya, Surendar, Marya, Manuel, Singh, Virendra

“…Additive Manufacturing (AM), somewhat like fusion welding, brings into play: (1) complex and interacting physical phenomena such as heat and mass transfer, phase changes (including melting, solidification, allotropic transformations and diffusion phenomena such as epitaxial growth, grain growth), (2) a number of process variables associated to the moving heat source (e.g., its power, power distribution, relative speed, size, all affecting energy density), its paths (e.g., linear, circular, oscillatory), and added metal feed rate via powder, wire, or ribbon, all controlling deposit dimensions, aspect-ratios, and properties, including defects. …”
