Thermoelectric (TE) performance in materials is often constrained by the strong coupling between carrier and phonon transport, necessitating trade-offs between electrical and thermal properties that limit improvements in the figure of merit (). Herein, a novel strategy is proposed to achieve simultaneous energy filtering and enhanced phonon scattering, effectively optimizing the TE properties of CoSb-based skutterudites. By introducing CuTe nanoprecipitates into the YbCoSb matrix, interfacial barriers are formed, which selectively filter low-energy charge carriers, significantly improving the Seebeck coefficient while maintaining high carrier mobility.

Te-free thermoelectrics have garnered significant interest due to their immense thermoelectric potential and low cost. However, most Te-free thermoelectrics have relatively low performance because of the strong electrical and thermal transport conflicts and unsatisfactory compatibility of interfaces between device materials. Here, we develop lattice defect engineering through Cu doping to realize a record-high figure of merit of ~1.

Silicone sealants and adhesives are extensively used in construction, automotive, industrial, and electronic applications because they exhibit excellent mechanical properties, strong adhesion, and good weather resistance. Room-temperature vulcanized (RTV) silicones develop good adhesion to many substrates and do not require heat for curing, which leads to flexible use in many applications. Although it is known that various factors such as relative humidity and temperature affect the curing of the RTV silicone adhesives, the interfacial chemistry that occurs during the curing process is still poorly understood but critical for success in adhesive applications.

Federated Learning (FL) uses local data to perform distributed training on clients and combines resulting models on a public server to mitigate privacy exposure by avoiding data sharing. However, further research indicates that communication overheads continue to be the primary limitation for FL relative to alternative considerations. This is especially true when training models on non-independent and identically distributed data, such as financial default risk data, where FL's computational costs increase significantly.

Introduction: The blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) signal derived from functional neuroimaging is commonly used in brain network analysis and dementia diagnosis. Missing the BOLD signal may lead to bad performance and misinterpretation of findings when analyzing neurological disease. Few studies have focused on the restoration of brain functional time-series data.

Na doping strategy provides an effective avenue to upgrade the thermoelectric performance of PbTe-based materials by optimizing electrical properties. However, the limited solubility of Na inherently restricts the efficiency of doping, resulting in a relatively low average , which poses challenges for the development and application of subsequent devices. Herein, to address this issue, the introduced spontaneous Pb vacancies and additional Mn doping synergistically promote Na solubility with a further modified valence band structure.

SnTe-InTe alloys ensure excellent electrical properties in the whole temperature region due to the resonant level. Nevertheless, temperature-sensitive resonance states and single phonon scattering restrict further improvement of thermoelectric performance. Consequently, it is anticipated that additional electrically independent scattering sources should be introduced to impede phonon transport.

Unstructured tetrahedral grids have been applied in magnetotelluric (MT) forward modeling using the finite element (FE) method because of their adaptability to complex anomalies. However, high-quality results require an extreme refinement of the near-surface area, which leads to excessive meshes and an increased degree of freedom (DoF) of the governing equation of the finite element system. To reduce the computational cost, we have developed a hybrid mesh based on triangular prisms and tetrahedrons.

Mixed thermoreversible gels were successfully fabricated by the addition of a thermosensitive polymer, poly(-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM), to fibrillar nanostructures self-assembled from a short peptide IK. When the temperature was increased above the lower critical solution temperature of the PNIPAM, the molecules collapsed to form condensed globular particles, which acted as cross-links to connect different peptide nanofibrils and freeze their movements, resulting in the formation of a hydrogel. Since these processes were physically driven, such hydrogels could be reversibly switched between the sol and gel states as a function of temperature.

The use of smart drug carriers to realize cancer-targeted drug delivery is a promising method to improve the efficiency of chemotherapy and reduce its side effects. A surfactant-like peptide, Nap-FFGPLGLARKRK, was elaborately designed for cancer-targeted drug delivery based on an enzyme-triggered morphological transition of the self-assembled nanostructures. The peptide has three functional motifs: the aromatic motif of Nap-FF- to promote peptide self-assembly, the enzyme-cleavable segment of -GPLGLA- to introduce enzyme sensitivity, and the positively charged -RKRK- segment to balance the molecular amphiphilicity as well as to facilitate interaction with cell membranes.

The production of Escherichia coli K1 serotype capsule was investigated using direct stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy with live bacteria and graphene oxide-coated coverslips, overcoming many morphological artifacts found in other high-resolution imaging techniques. Super-resolution fluorescence images showed that the K1 capsular polysaccharide is not uniformly distributed on the cell surface, as previously thought. These studies demonstrated that on the cell surfaces the K1 capsule at the poles had bimodal thicknesses of 238 ± 41 and 323 ± 62 nm, whereas at the equator, there was a monomodal thickness of 217 ± 29 nm.

Article Synopsis
  • Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is used to create monolayer graphene films, but transferring these films often requires coating with poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) for durability.
  • Removing PMMA completely is challenging, and leftover residues can alter the properties of the graphene, which is why understanding how much PMMA remains is important.
  • Using techniques like Raman scattering, atomic force microscopy, and neutron reflection, researchers found a two-layer model of residual PMMA on graphene, indicating significant amounts of PMMA still exist after cleaning.
