The design and synthesis of multifunctional nanomaterials have attracted considerable attention for expanding the range of practical applications. Herein, a metal-organic framework (MOFs)-derived NiCoS attached to MXene is rationally designed and constructed for an optical limiter and supercapacitor. The MOF-derived NiCoS enhances the tendency of hydroxyl groups on the MXene surface to attract metal ions, resulting in the formation of sulfur vacancies.

The seahorse relies on the undulatory motion of the dorsal fin to generate thrust, which makes it possess quite high maneuverability and efficiency, and due to its low volume of the dorsal fin, it is conducive to the study of miniaturization of the driving mechanism. This paper carried out a study on the undulatory motion mechanism of the seahorse's dorsal fin and proposed a dynamic model of the interaction between the seahorse's dorsal fin and seawater based on the hydrodynamic properties of seawater and the theory of fluid-structure coupling. A simulation model was established using the Fluent software, and the 3D fluid dynamic mesh was used to study the undulatory motion mechanism of the seahorse's dorsal fin.

Due to the poor survival rates associated with OSCC, there is a growing need to develop novel technologies and predictive biomarkers to improve disease diagnosis. The identification of new cellular targets in OSCC tumors will benefit such developments.
