The superhydrophobic surface can change the friction property of the material, reduce the adhesion of the friction interface, and produce a certain slip, thereby reducing the friction coefficient. The laser has high energy, high density, and is especially suitable for the surface treatment of materials. The laser surface texturing is a good way to construct superhydrophobic surfaces. The experiment uses a nanosecond pulse laser to construct the groove texture on the nickel surface. The contact area between the air and the droplets retained on the rough surface is increased, effectively preventing the water droplets from entering the gully of the surface microstructure, reducing the water droplets and the solid surface. The contact area ultimately makes the surface exhibit excellent superhydrophobicity. A superhydrophobic nickel surface having an apparent contact angle of water (ACAW) of 160° and a sliding angle (SA) of less than 10° was prepared. The MM-W1B vertical universal friction and wear tester was used to test the groove texture samples with different depths. The surface texture can capture the wear debris generated by the wear and store the lubricant, which is beneficial to the formation of fluid dynamic pressure lubrication and improve the load. The friction coefficient is reduced from 0.65 of the unprocessed surfaces to 0.25 after the texturing, and the friction performance is greatly improved.

BiTe recently emerges as a promising candidate material for the next generation of mid-wave to long-wave infrared photodetection owing to its exceptionally narrow bandgap (approximately 0.2 eV) and the favorable photoelectronic properties. In particular, its topological insulator structure is safeguarded by time-reversal symmetry, leading to electronic structures with distinct surface and bulk states as well as distinctive optoelectronic properties.

Some duck species mostly swim on the water surface while others frequently dive underwater. We compared the paddling kinematics of mandarin ducks (Axis galericulata) that feed on the surface and diving ferruginous pochards (Aythya nyroca) that feed underwater. Both species were trained to perform the same horizontal, submerged swimming at 1m depth in a controlled set-up.

Since its discovery in 1997, the single molecule surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SM-SERS) has attracted wide interest owing to its enormous potential in many fields. However, the commercialized applications of SM-SERS are still limited by the lack of a clear understanding of the relevant mechanism in the famous SM-SERS experiments. In this study, a salt-gradient model is proposed to deeply investigate the physical nature and update insights into the morphological, structural, and component evolution processes of Ag NPs from dispersed nanostructures to aggregation states in the salt-induced aggregation SERS strategy.

Introduction: Pine needles are a rich source of bioactive compounds, and there are few reports on the extraction and identification of active substances in various types of pine needles.
Objectives: The objective of this study is to enhance the efficiency and yield of pine needle essential oil extraction by employing an innovative ultrasonic-assisted salt-out hydrodistillation technology. It also aims to establish a correlation between gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and electronic nose (E-nose) to distinguish essential oils from Cedrus deodara, Pinus thunbergii, Pinus massoniana, and Pinus koraiensis.

Background: Nanomedicine offers a number of innovative strategies to address major public health burdens, including complex respiratory illnesses. In this work, we introduce a multi-drug nanoparticle fabricated using femtosecond laser ablation for the treatment of influenza, SARS-CoV-2, and their co-infections.
Methods: The SARS-CoV-2 antiviral, remdesivir; the influenza antiviral, baloxavir marboxil; and the anti-inflammatory, dexamethasone, were co-crystalized and then ablated in aqueous media using a femtosecond pulsed laser and subsequently surface modified with the cationic polymer, chitosan, or poly-d-lysine.
