Morphology-tuned exceptional catalytic activity of porous-polymer-supported Mn3O4 in aerobic sp3 C-H bond oxidation of aromatic hydrocarbons and alcohols by Mondal, John, Borah, Parijat, Sreejith, Sivaramapanicker, Nguyen, Kim Truc, Han, Xiguang, Zhao, Yanli, Ma, Xing

“…Mn3O4 with octahedral morphology in nanoporous polymer exhibited the highest catalytic activity on account of its more exposed crystallographic planes and edges. These Mn3O4-based nanocatalysts could be recycled and reused for consecutive catalytic cycles without a significant loss of catalytic activity.…”

On the intermediate Jacobian of M5-branes by Jefferson, Patrick, Kim, Manki

“…Our formula for the Euler characteristic includes a conjectured correction term that accounts for the contributions of pointlike terminal ℤ2 singularities corresponding to perturbative O3-planes. We check our conjecture in a number of explicit examples and find perfect agreement with the results of direct computations.…”

Nonvolatile resistive switching in Pt/LaAlO3/SrTiO3 heterostructures by Wu, Shuxiang, Luo, Xin, Turner, Stuart, Peng, Haiyang, Lin, Weinan, Ding, Junfeng, David, Adrian, Wang, Biao, Van Tendeloo, Gustaaf, Wang, Junling, Wu, Tom

“…Interestingly, the switching between low-resistance and high-resistance states is accompanied by reversible transitions between tunneling and Ohmic characteristics in the current transport perpendicular to the planes of the heterojunctions. We propose that the observed resistive switching is likely caused by the electric-field-induced drift of charged oxygen vacancies across the LaAlO3/SrTiO3 interface and the creation of defect-induced gap states within the ultrathin LaAlO3 layer. …”

Adversarial Network Optimization under Bandit Feedback: Maximizing Utility in Non-Stationary Multi-Hop Networks by Dai, Yan, Huang, Longbo

“…We propose the UMO2 algorithm, which does not require any pre-decision knowledge or counterfactual feedback, ensures network stability, and also matches the utility maximization performance of any "mildly varying" reference policy up to a polynomially decaying gap. …”

Engineering of In Vitro 3D Capillary Beds by Self-Directed Angiogenic Sprouting by Chan, Juliana Maria, Zervantonakis, Ioannis K., Rimchala, Tharathorn, Polacheck, William Joseph, Whisler, Jordan, Kamm, Roger Dale

“…In vivo, however, capillaries exist in complex, three-dimensional (3D) networks, and angiogenic sprouting occurs with a degree of unpredictability in all x,y,z planes. The ability to generate capillary beds in vitro that can support thick, biological tissues remains a key challenge to the regeneration of vital organs. …”

Phase-preserved macroscopic visible-light carpet cloaking beyond two dimensions by Chu, Chia-Wei, Zhai, Xiaomin, Lee, Chih Jie, Wang, Po-Hao, Duan, Yubo, Tsai, Din Ping, Zhang, Baile, Luo, Yuan

“…As an extension of previous two-dimensional (2D) macroscopic carpet cloaks, this almost-three-dimensional carpet cloak exhibits three-dimensional (3D) invisibility for illumination near its center (i.e. with a limited field of view), and its ideal wide-angle invisibility performance is preserved in multiple 2D planes intersecting in the 3D space. Optical path length is measured with a broadband pulsed-laser interferometer, which provides unique experimental evidence on the geometrical nature of transformation optics.…”

Knot optimization for biharmonic B-splines on manifold triangle meshes by Hou, Fei, He, Ying, Qin, Hong, Hao, Aimin

“…Despite the theoretic breakthrough, certain technical difficulties are imperative, including the necessity of Voronoi tessellation, the lack of analytical formulation of bases on general manifolds, expensive basis re-computation during knot refinement/removal, being applicable for simple domains only (e.g., such as euclidean planes, spherical and cylindrical domains, and tori). …”
