With the rapid development of micro/nano machining, there is an elevated demand for high-performance microdevices with high reliability and low cost. Due to their outstanding electrochemical, optical, electrical, and mechanical performance, carbon materials are extensively utilized in constructing microdevices for energy storage, sensing, and optoelectronics. Carbon micro/nano machining is fundamental in carbon-based intelligent microelectronics, multifunctional integrated microsystems, high-reliability portable/wearable consumer electronics, and portable medical diagnostic systems.

- AerMet100 steel is a high-strength material mainly used in aerospace and military industries, but it is hard to machine, prompting research into additive manufacturing techniques like wire arc additive manufacturing to create this steel.
- The study investigated the mechanical properties of AerMet100 steel produced through a hybrid method, revealing improved microstructure with grain fragmentation, reduced anisotropy, and enhanced tensile properties after heat treatment.
- Post-manufacturing, the steel showed isotropic qualities, with impressive average ultimate strength and yield strength values, as well as good toughness due to a unique microstructure that helps distribute stress and mitigates crack growth.
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the relationship between arterial oxygen saturation (SaO) and peripheral capillary oxygen saturation (SpO) in obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery, focusing on factors like body mass index (BMI) and age.
- Results indicated that SaO negatively correlated with both BMI and age, while SpO consistently overestimated SaO, particularly in hypoxemic patients and those at higher surgical risk.
- The findings suggest that SaO provides a more accurate reflection of oxygen levels than SpO in this patient group, highlighting the importance of arterial blood gas analysis for ensuring patient safety during surgery.
The elucidation of the mechanisms whereby the liver maintains glucose homeostasis is crucial for the understanding of physiological and pathological states. Here, we show a novel role of hepatic transcriptional co-activator with PDZ-binding motif (TAZ) in the inhibition of glucocorticoid receptor (GR). TAZ is abundantly expressed in pericentral hepatocytes and its expression is markedly reduced by fasting.
