Published: October 2017

We describe how mechanical strain is able to control the flow of heat on a graphene sheet, since this material can either absorb or expel heat from/to a thermal reservoir, depending on the strain energy. In a similar fashion as the magneto- and electro-caloric effects, the present case considers the fact that a mechanical strain produces a pseudo-magnetic field that, on its turn, is responsible for the barocaloric effect. This result pushes graphene to the list of multicaloric materials.

All-solid-state lithium metal batteries hold promise for meeting the industrial demands for high energy density and safety. However, voids are formed at the lithium metal anode/solid-state electrolyte interface during stripping, deteriorating interface contact and reducing the cycle stability. Stack pressure and operating temperature are effective methods to activate creep deformation in lithium metal, promoting interfacial deformation and alleviating void-induced interface issues.

High-Throughput Dissociation and Orthotopic Implantation of Breast Cancer Patient-Derived Xenografts.

Patient-derived xenografts (PDXs) provide a clinically relevant method for recapitulating tumor-involved cell types and the tumor microenvironment, which is essential for advancing knowledge of breast cancer (BC). Additionally, PDX models enable the study of BC systemic effects, which is not possible using in vitro models. Traditional methods for implanting BC xenografts typically involve anesthesia and sterile surgical procedures, which are time-consuming, invasive, and limit the scalability of PDX models in BC research.

Lattice thermal conductivity and phonon properties of polycrystalline graphene.

Using the spectral energy density method, we predict the phonon scattering mean lifetimes of polycrystalline graphene (PC-G) having polycrystallinity only along the -axis with seven different misorientation (tilt) angles at room temperature. Contrary to other studies on PC-G samples, our results indicate a strong dependence of the thermal conductivity (TC) on the tilt angles which we attribute to careful preparation of our grain boundaries-based samples without introducing any local strains and ensuring periodic boundary conditions for the supercells along the and axes. We also show that the square of the group velocity components along and axes and the phonon lifetimes are uncorrelated and the phonon density of states are almost the same for all samples with different tilt angles.

Lithium phosphorus oxynitride (LiPON) is a crucial electrolyte for all-solid-state thin-film batteries due to its sufficient ionic conductivity. Understanding the mechanical behavior of LiPON films is crucial for further technological development. Previous studies noted unexpected ductility and strain recovery in amorphous LiPON during sharp-ended tip indentations revealing pile-up formation and densification as the main deformation mechanisms.
