Published: May 2014

Au/Pd octopods with hollow, cubic interiors and Oh symmetry were synthesized for the first time by etching core@shell Pd@Au/Pd octopods to selectively remove their Pd interiors. Integration of multiple architectural features - in this case branching symmetry, composition, and interior design - into one nanostructure provides design strategies to new plasmonic colloids.

Advanced energetic composites possess promising properties and wide-ranging applications in explosives and propellants. Nonetheless, most metal-based energetic composites present significant challenges due to surface oxidation and low-pressure output. This study introduces a facile method to develop energetic composites Cutztr@AP through the intermolecular assembly of nitrogen-rich energetic coordination polymers and high-energy oxidant ammonium perchlorate (AP).

The integration of radar technology into smart furniture represents a practical approach to health monitoring, circumventing the concerns regarding user convenience and privacy often encountered by conventional smart home systems. Radar technology's inherent non-contact methodology, privacy-preserving features, adaptability to diverse environmental conditions, and high precision characteristics collectively establish it a compelling alternative for comprehensive health monitoring within domestic environments. In this paper, we introduce a millimeter (mm)-wave radar system positioned strategically behind a seat, featuring an algorithm capable of identifying unique cardiac waveform patterns for healthy subjects.

Solar-driven CO reduction to value-added C chemicals is thermodynamically challenging due to multiple complicated steps. The design of active sites and structures for photocatalysts is necessary to improve solar energy efficiency. In this work, atomically dispersed Ru-O sites in RuInO are constructed by interior lattice anchoring of Ru.

Tailored design of organic linkers or metal nodes can introduce desirable functionalities into metal-organic cages (MOCs), significantly expanding their potential applications. In this study, we present a viable approach for engineering acyl-type metal nodes to create interior oxygen-rich sites within MOCs, enabling specific recognition of metal ions, including radioactive contaminants, while maintaining the structural integrity of the MOCs. A novel MOC featuring a uranyl-sealed calix[4]resorcinarene (C[4]R)-based multisite cavity, referred to as UOC, is synthesized as a prototype.
