Article Abstract
Concise and efficient six-component and four-component domino approaches to anti-1,2-diarylethylbenzamides and highly substituted 2-(2'-azaaryl)imidazoles have been developed under solvent-free and microwave-irradiation conditions. The reactions showed a broad scope of substrates in which a wide range of common commercial aromatic aldehydes and heteroaryl nitriles can be used. The syntheses were finished within short periods (15-34 min) with good to excellent chemical yields and stereoselectivity that avoided tedious workup isolations. New mechanisms involving an umpolung have been proposed for these two reaction processes.
The increasing demand for controlling electromagnetic waves has led to the construction of a variety of metasurface absorbers with different functionalities. In this Letter, we designed a kind of single-layer metasurfaces with delicately designed hybrid magnetic meta-atoms (HMMAs), which can be operated as perfect absorbers (PAs) for the electromagnetic wave incident at a specified direction, but at the mirror symmetric direction, the nearly total reflection is achieved. This remarkable nonreciprocal phenomenon arises from the time-reversal symmetry (TRS) breaking nature of magnetic surface plasmon as well as the lattice Kerker effect due to the interaction of HMMAs in the single-layer metasurfaces.
The functions of graphene have garnered significant attention in recent research. A profound understanding of the principles of temperature-dependent electromagnetic responses is crucial for guiding the design of advanced functional materials and devices. From this perspective, the thermally tailored mechanisms of polarization genes and conduction genes are emphasized.
Multispectral camouflage materials play a vital role in sophisticated multi-band electromagnetic (EM) applications. However, conventional single-band stealth is difficult to align with the growing demand for multi-band compatibility and intelligent adaptation. Herein, we report the design and synthesis of cephalopod-inspired MXene-integrated cholesteric liquid crystal elastomers (MXene-CLCEs) with multispectral camouflage capability, which was fabricated through in situ thiol-acrylate Michael addition and free-radical photopolymerization of CLCE precursor and isocyanate-mediated robust covalent chemical bonding of MXene nanocoating at the interface.
Nowadays, metasurfaces have attracted considerable attention due to their promising and advanced control of electromagnetic (EM) waves. However, it is still challenging to shape guided waves into desired free-space mode, while simultaneously manipulating spatial incident waves using a single metasurface. Herein, a class of metasurfaces capable of multiplexing guided and space waves is proposed to achieve advanced EM functionalities in microwave regions, which can find great application potentials in radar systems, wireless communications, and wireless power transfer (WPT).
The margarine market is growing globally due to its lower cost, ease of availability, large-scale commercialization, and expanding market in the bakery and confectionary industries. Butter contains greater amounts of saturated fat and has been associated with cardiovascular diseases. The trans fats generated through the hydrogenation process have several adverse impacts on human health, such as the risk of atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, postmenopausal breast cancer, vision and neurological system impairment, type II diabetes, and obesity.
