The current research aims to analyze the shape and structural features of the eggs of the lepidoptera species sp. (Lepidoptera, Nympalidae) and develop design solutions through the implementation of a novel strategy of biomimetic design. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis of the chorion reveals a medial zone that forms an arachnoid grid resembling a ribbed dome with convex longitudinal ribs and concave transverse ring members.

Particle-based reaction-diffusion models offer a high-resolution alternative to the continuum reaction-diffusion approach, capturing the discrete and volume-excluding nature of molecules undergoing stochastic dynamics. These methods are thus uniquely capable of simulating explicit self-assembly of particles into higher-order structures like filaments, spherical cages, or heterogeneous macromolecular complexes, which are ubiquitous across living systems and in materials design. The disadvantage of these high-resolution methods is their increased computational cost.

InAs semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) emitting in the near-infrared are promising platforms for on-demand single-photon sources and spin-photon interfaces. However, the realization of quantum-photonic nanodevices emitting in the telecom windows with similar performance remains an open challenge. In particular, nanophotonic devices incorporating quantum light emitting diodes in the telecom C-band based on GaAs substrates are still lacking due to the relaxation of the lattice constant along the InGaAs graded layer which makes the implementation of electrically contacted devices challenging.

The use of lithium-rich manganese-based oxides (LRMOs) as the cathode in all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) holds great potential for realizing high energy density over 600 Wh kg. However, their implementation is significantly hindered by the sluggish kinetics and inferior reversibility of anionic redox reactions of oxygen in ASSBs. In this contribution, boron ions (B) doping and 3D LiBO (LBO) ionic networks construction are synchronously introduced into LRMO materials (LBO-LRMO) by mechanochemical and subsequent thermally driven diffusion method.

Silicene, the analog of graphene composed of silicon atoms arranged in a honeycomb lattice, has garnered significant attention due to its unique properties, positioning it as a promising candidate for various applications in electronic devices, photovoltaics, photocatalysis, and biomedicals. While the chemical synthesis of silicene nanosheets has traditionally involved time-spending and expensive- methods, this study introduces a rapid vacuum/nitrogen cycle assisted (VANS) protocol that dramatically speeds up the production of silicene. The strategic implementation of vacuum/nitrogen cycles provides the efficient removal of the generated hydrogen, boosting the overall reaction kinetics while maintaining inert reaction conditions to prevent oxidation.
