Photo-modulable molecular transport junctions based on organometallic molecular wires by Meng, Fanben, Hervault, Yves-Marie, Norel, Lucie, Costuas, Karine, Dyck, Colin Van, Geskin, Victor, Cornil, Jérôme, Hng, Huey Hoon, Rigaut, Stéphane, Chen, Xiaodong

“…Photo-modulable molecular transport junctions are developed via on-wire lithography-fabricated nanogaps functionalized with a dithienylethene unit bearing two ruthenium fragments. A reversible and repeatable bi-state conductive switching upon alternate irradiation of UV and visible light can be distinctly observed. …”

Field relations, petrogenesis and emplacement of the Bhagirathi leucogranite, Garhwal Himalaya by Searle, M, Metcalfe, RP, Rex, AJ, Norry, MJ

“…During extension, sub-orthogonal dilatational forces exceeded sub-horizontal shear stresses thus facilitating the repeated emplacement of sheeted granite melt, a process analogous to low-angle tension gash development. …”

Continuously distributed magnetization profile for millimeter-scale elastomeric undulatory swimming by Diller, Eric, Zhuang, Jiang, Zhan Lum, Guo, Edwards, Matthew R., Sitti, Metin

“…The robot is propelled by continuous undulatory deformation, which is enabled by the distributed magnetization profile of a flexible sheet. We demonstrate control of a prototype device and measure deformation and speed as a function of magnetic field strength and frequency. …”

Starvation, ferroptosis, and prodrug therapy synergistically enabled by a cytochrome c oxidase like nanozyme by Cao, Changyu, Yang, Nan, Su, Yan, Zhang, Zheye, Wang, Chenxi, Song, Xuejiao, Chen, Peng, Wang, Wenjun, Dong, Xiaochen

“…Loaded with bioreductive predrug (AQ4N), this Cu-Ag nanozyme unprecedentedly enables simultaneous starvation, ferroptosis, and chemical therapy with high specificity, and is able to totally eliminate tumor and greatly prolong the survival rate for 4T1-tumor-bearing mice. The underlying working mechanism is revealed both experimentally and theoretically.…”

Experimental investigation into load settlement characteristics of piled rafts in sand by Leong, Hazel Xueling.

“…Studies by many notable researchers in the years to come suggest that the most effective combinations of piles and raft happens when all the initial loading can be borne with the raft’s bearing capacity alone. The role of the piles was solely to reduce the excessive settlement experienced by the plain raft.…”

Dense/porous bioceramic composites by Hu, Yifei

“…The pores were designed for bone ingrowth, whereas the graded pores and the dense cores were introduced for load bearing capability. For bone ingrowth, the porous structures must have a high porosity, a high interconnectivity, and a suitable pore size.…”

Mechanics of Three-Dimensional Micro-Architected Interpenetrating Phase Composites by Chen, Andrew Y.

“…We show that independent of the material system, the presence of a load-bearing matrix distributes the stress in the composite, contributing to a high-strength, globally stretchingdominated failure behavior, regardless of nodal connectivity. …”

What is to reproduce? On the overlap, development, and persistence account of reproduction by Palacios-González, C

“…Her account seems able to answer the question of whether reproduction takes place, and who reproduces, when we employ biotechnologies that bear little to no resemblance to naturally occurring human sexual reproduction. …”

Prosopanche: a remarkable genus of parasitic plants by Hatt, SA, Cameron, DD, Grace, OM, Rocamundi, N, Cocucci, AA, Martel, C, Thorogood, CJ

“…Growing almost entirely underground with a complete lack of leaves, plants of Prosopanche bear more resemblance to fungi than plants and have many remarkable aspects to their life history and ecology that require further investigation. …”

Another philosophical look at twistor theory by Gajic, G, Lilani, N, Read, J

“…In this article, we (a) present for philosophers an introduction to twistor theory, (b) consider how the spacetime–twistor correspondence interacts with the philosophical literature on theoretical equivalence, and (c) explore the bearing which twistor theory might have on philosophical issues such as the status of dynamics, the geometrisation of physics, spacetime ontology, the emergence of spacetime, and symmetry-to-reality inferences. …”

Infrared spectroscopic ellipsometry study of sulfur-doped In0.53Ga0.47As ultra-shallow junctions by Richard D'Costa, Vijay, Subramanian, Sujith, Li, Daosheng, Wicaksono, Satrio, Yoon, Soon Fatt, Tok, Eng Soon, Yeo, Yee-Chia

“…Our results indicate that sub-10 nm sulfur-doped layers with active carrier concentration as high as 1.7 × 1019 cm−3 were achieved. Sheet resistances estimated from infrared spectroscopic ellipsometry are in good agreement with those obtained by electrical methods.…”
