Metal-organic framework (MOF) nanoparticles have attracted widespread attention as lubrication additives due to their tunable structures and surface effects. However, their solid lubrication properties have been rarely explored. This work introduces the positive role of moisture in solid lubrication in the case of a newly described Ti-based MOF (COK-47) powder.

For reproducibility, this residue is usually cleaned and discarded. Here we instead investigate the target-side coated materials and employ them as a binder-free supercapacitor electrode.

- Since the discovery of graphene in 2004, interest in 2D materials has grown, leading to the synthesis of various materials, with black phosphorus (BP) being a notable recent addition.
- BP is recognized for its outstanding properties like high carrier mobility and a unique bandgap that make it suitable for electronic and optical applications, along with its potential for low friction and wear resistance due to its layered structure.
- There is a lack of comprehensive research on BP in tribological contexts, prompting the need for a summary of its synthesis, properties, and comparisons to other 2D materials to highlight research gaps and future directions.
The characteristics of aviation-induced aerosol, its processing, and effects on cirrus clouds and climate are still associated with large uncertainties. Properties of aviation-induced aerosol, however, are crucially needed for the assessment of aviation's climate impacts today and in the future. We identified more than 1100 aircraft plume encounters during passenger aircraft flights of the IAGOS-CARIBIC Flying Laboratory from July 2018 to March 2020.

- Peripheral T cell lymphomas are aggressive cancers with a poor prognosis and pose challenges for immunotherapy due to the lack of distinguishing antigens between healthy and cancerous cells.
- Researchers have used advanced computational biology to develop a TRBC2-specific antibody (KFN), which, alongside a previously created TRBC1-specific antibody (Jovi-1), offers a way to target a wider range of T cell malignancies.
- The combination of these antibodies enables the creation of specialized chimeric antigen receptor-T cells that may prove effective in treating various T cell cancers in preclinical tests.
