Multifunctional Phase Change Films with High Mechanical Strength, Thermally Induced Switchable Adhesion, and Shape Recoverability for Infrared Stealth.

The application of organic solid-liquid phase change materials (PCMs) is limited for the leakage problem after phase change and high rigidity. In this work, a novel flexible solid-solid PCM (DXPCM) was synthesized using a block copolymerization process with polyethylene glycol (PEG) as the energy storage segment. The phase transition temperature (from 36.

Decreased brain function and anxiety-related loops in harm-avoidance personality: a resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging study.

Background: Personality is a unique and relatively stable psychological concept that defines individual human beings. It strongly influences long-term behavioral styles such as emotional expression. This study aims to elucidate the brain functional underpinning behind personality.

Daurisoline inhibits glycolysis of lung cancer by targeting the AKT-HK2 axis.

Lung cancer, one of the most prevalent tumors, remains a clinical challenge with a poor five-year survival rate. Daurisoline, a bis-benzylisoquinoline alkaloid derived from the traditional Chinese herb Menispermum dauricum, is known to suppress tumor growth effectively. However, its precise mechanism of action remains unclear.

Fluid-Actuated Nano-Micro-Macro Structure Morphing Enables Smart Multispectrum Compatible Stealth.

Modern detection technology has driven camouflage technology toward multispectral compatibility and dynamic regulation. However, developing such stealth technologies is challenging due to different frequency-band principles. Here, this work proposes a design concept for a fluid-actuated multispectral compatible smart stealth device that employs a deformable mechanochromic layer/elastomer with a channeled dielectric layer.
