Nanotwins-containing microstructure and superior mechanical strength of a Cu‒9Al‒5Fe‒5Ni alloy additively manufactured by laser metal deposition by Li, Boyuan, Zheng, Han, Han, Changjun, Zhou, Kun

“…The nanotwins were formed at the interface of the plate-like β* phase, which was induced by the low stacking fault energy of the alloy and high cooling rate of LMD. …”

Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based ThT free sensing of beta-amyloid fibrillation by carbon dot-Ag composites by Nair, Radhika Vadakkini, Padmanabhan, Parasuraman, Gulyás, Balázs, Murukeshan, Vadakke Matham

“…Amyloid-beta proteins that form cytotoxic aggregates called amyloid-β derived diffusible ligands are responsible for various neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. Novel methods for the early detection of such aggregates and inhibition of further fibrillation are highly important and need in the current situation. …”

Transcriptomics of manually isolated Amborella trichopoda egg apparatus cells by Flores-Tornero, María, Proost, Sebastian, Mutwil, Marek, Scutt, Charles P., Dresselhaus, Thomas, Sprunck, Stefanie

“…The basal angiosperm Amborella trichopoda is of special importance for evolutionary studies, as it is likely sister to all other living angiosperms. Here, we report about a method to isolate Amborella egg apparatus cells and on genome-wide gene expression profiles in these cells. …”

Technological opportunities and challenges for Singapore logistics firm (sea perspective) by Tan, Bronessa Yan Ning

“…The literature review has identified that opportunities such as the call for efficiency and sustainability were giving rise to enabling technological solutions including drone deliveries and Additive Manufacturing (AM), but wider adoption scale by the industry has been hindered due to factors like digital trust and digital immaturity. Given that the industry has been conservative in terms of technological adoption, many proven technological solutions used by other digitally advanced industries are available to be implemented. …”

Comparison and modeling of leachate transportation dominated by the field permeability with an anisotropic characteristic based on a large-scale field trial study by Yin, Ke, Chan, Wei Ping, Dou, Xiaomin, Lisak, Grzegorz, Chang, Victor Wei-Chung

“…The determined field permeability () was compared with that achieved from the laboratory, demonstrating a large disparity as much as 4 orders of magnitude likely due to IBA self-compaction. Indeed, back calculation using Blake-Kozeny’s equation unveiled that, the “effective” diameters were significantly reduced by 21–46%. …”

Supply chain resilience for global operations (2) : a re-evaluation of performance benchmarking (information sharing) by Tan, Tricia Zann Yinn

“…This mismatch between demand and supply inadvertently caused the supply chain and its members to experience huge disruptions. Disruptive events like COVID-19 are unpredictable. Nobody can deduce when the next big catastrophe will occur again. …”

Hydrodynamics of random-organizing hyperuniform fluids by Lei, Qun-Li, Ni, Ran

“…Disordered hyperuniform structures are locally random while uniform like crystals at large length scales. Recently, an exotic hyperuniform fluid state was found in several nonequilibrium systems, while the underlying physics remains unknown. …”

An accurate spectral method for the transverse magnetic mode of Maxwell equations in Cole-Cole dispersive media by Huang, Can, Wang, Li-Lian

“…With this in mind, we introduce a spectral-Galerkin method using Fourier-like basis functions for spatial discretization, leading to a sequence of decoupled temporal integral-differential equations (IDE) with the same weakly singular kernel involving the ML function as the original two-dimensional problem. …”

Ultrasensitive metadevices for biosensing by Xiao, Shuqi

“…Graphene is a special inorganic material and can be consider as a conductor like metal. Most importantly, its permittivity can be modulated by changing Fermi level, which provide the possible to tune the peak of surface plasmon polariton spectra. …”
