High-Performance Boiling Surfaces Enabled by an Electrode-Transpose All-Electrochemical Strategy.

High-performance boiling surfaces are in great demand for efficient cooling of high-heat-flux devices. Although various micro-/nano-structured surfaces have been engineered toward higher surface wettability and wickability for enhanced boiling, the design and fabrication of surface structures for realizing both high critical heat flux (CHF) and high heat transfer coefficient (HTC) remain a key challenge. Here, a novel "electrode-transpose" all-electrochemical strategy is proposed to create superhydrophilic microporous surfaces with higher dendrites and larger pores by simply adding an electrochemical etching step prior to the multiple electrochemical deposition steps.

A new approach in generating stable crack propagation at twisted bilayer graphene/hBN heterostructures.

Thermodynamic theory suggests that the obvious mechanical behavior caused by temperature and interlayer angle will affect the physical properties of materials, such as mechanical properties and transportation behavior, and it is different from the behavior in three-dimensional bulk materials. We observe an abnormal physical effect of bilayer graphene/hexagonal boron nitride (G/BN)-carbon nanotube (CNT) heterostructures, with a normalized out-of-plane deformation and normalized bond angle percentage to almost several times higher those of pristine G/BN heterostructures (without CNT) at 700-800 K. Our combined finite element theory and molecular dynamics simulations confirmed that the combination of CNT and interlayer angle diverted and bridged the propagating crack and provided a stable crack propagation path and crack tip opening displacement, resulting in the stress fields to be controlled around the CNT at high temperature.

From White to Reddish-Brown: The Anthocyanin Journey in Driven by Auxin and Genetic Regulators.

, or wine-cap Stropharia, is a well-known edible mushroom cultivated globally. The pileipellis color is a crucial quality attribute of , exhibiting significant variation throughout its developmental stages. However, the pigment types and regulatory mechanisms behind color variation remain unclear.

Identification of a Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor-3 Binding Peptide TMVP1 for Enhancing Drug Delivery Efficiency and Therapeutic Efficacy Against Tumor Lymphangiogenesis.

Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-3 (VEGFR-3) plays an indispensable role in lymphangiogenesis. Previous findings suggest that blocking the VEGFR-3 signaling pathway can inhibit lymph node metastasis effectively, thus reducing the incidence of distant metastasis. The development of new VEGFR-3-targeting drugs for early detection and effective treatments is, therefore, urgently required.
