Herein, a new high entropy material is reported, i.e., a noble metal-free high entropy glycerate (HEG), synthesized via a simple solvothermal process. The HEG consists of 5 different metals of Fe, Ni, Co, Cr, and Mn. The unique glycerate structure exhibits an excellent oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activity with a low overpotential of 229 and 278 mV at current densities of 10 and 100 mA cm, respectively, in 1 m KOH electrolyte, outperforming its subsystems of binary-, ternary-, and quaternary-metal glycerates. The HEG also shows outstanding stability and durability in the alkaline electrolyte. The result demonstrates the significance of synergistic effect that gives additional freedoms to modify the electronic structure and coordination environment. Moreover, HEG@HEG electrolyzer shows a good overall water splitting performance and durability, requiring a cell voltage of 1.63 V to achieve a current density of 10 mA cm.

Quantitative assessment for post-stroke spasticity remains a significant challenge due to the encountered variable resistance during passive stretching, which can lead to the widely used modified Ashworth scale (MAS) for spasticity assessment depending heavily on rehabilitation physicians. To address these challenges, a high-force-output triboelectric soft pneumatic actuator (TENG-SPA) inspired by a lobster tail is developed. The bioinspired TENG-SPA can generate approximately 20 N at 0.

Background/objectives: Cystoscopy is necessary for diagnosing bladder cancer, but it has limitations in identifying ambiguous lesions, such as carcinoma in situ (CIS), which leads to a high recurrence rate of bladder cancer. With the significant advancements in deep learning in the medical field, several studies have explored its application in cystoscopy. This study aimed to utilize the VGG19 and Deeplab v3+ deep learning models to classify and segment cystoscope images, respectively.

This work investigated the mechanical and catalytic degradation properties of FeMnCoCr-based high-entropy alloys (HEAs) with diverse compositions and porous structures fabricated via selective laser melting (SLM) additive manufacturing for wastewater treatment applications. The effects of Mn content (0, 30 at%, and 50 at%) and topological structures (gyroid, diamond, and sea urchin-inspired shell) on the compression properties and catalytic efficiency of the FeMnCoCr HEAs were discussed. The results indicated that an increase in the Mn content led to a phase structure transition that optimized mechanical properties and catalytic activities.

In this study, FeCoNiCrSi (x = 0, 4, and 8) powders were successfully prepared using the aerosol method and employed to produce high-entropy coatings on Q235 steel via laser cladding. The microstructure and phase composition of the coatings were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction. Corrosion resistance and potential were evaluated through electrochemical analysis and Kelvin probe force microscopy.

Immediate and prolonged effects of different exercise intensities on the regularity of joint and coordinative patterns in runners.

Article Synopsis
  • Runners who don't allow enough recovery time after training may be at a higher risk for injuries due to fatigue and altered movement patterns.
  • A study looked at how different running intensities affect lower-limb joint movements and coordination during a single-leg squat in 30 healthy runners.
  • Immediate and longer-term changes showed that coordination patterns became less adaptive (more regular) after moderate and high-intensity runs, but traditional kinematic analysis did not effectively capture these changes.
