Article Synopsis
  • Droplet microfluidics is a technology that allows the creation of independent microenvironments for conducting high-throughput assays in chemical and biomedical fields.
  • Existing picoinjection methods for inserting materials into droplets have challenges such as high power requirements, lack of biocompatibility, and limited control.
  • The new acoustofluidic picoinjector offers an energy-efficient and biocompatible solution for precise injections, demonstrated through pH-transition experiments and the efficient synthesis of metallic nanoparticles.

A stable anode-free lithium metal battery (AFLMB) is accomplished by the adoption of a facile fabricated amorphous antimony (Sb)-coated separator (SbSC). The large specific surface area of the separator elevates lithium (Li)-Sb alloy kinetic, improving Li wetting ability on pristine copper current collector (Cu). When tested with LiNi Mn Co O (NMC811) as cathode, the full cell with SbSC demonstrates low nucleation overpotential with compact, dendrite-free and homogeneous Li plating, and exhibits a notable lithium inventory retention rate (LIRR) of 99.

Neuropathologic assessment during autopsy is the gold standard for diagnosing neurodegenerative disorders. Neurodegenerative conditions, such as Alzheimer disease (AD) neuropathological change, are a continuous process from normal aging rather than categorical; therefore, diagnosing neurodegenerative disorders is a complicated task. We aimed to develop a pipeline for diagnosing AD and other tauopathies, including corticobasal degeneration (CBD), globular glial tauopathy, Pick disease, and progressive supranuclear palsy.
