Piezocatalysis, driven by mechanical energy and piezoelectric effect, is of great potential in addressing the environmental issues. In this work, a piezoelectric catalyst was fabricated by growing few-layer MoS nanosheets onto CuS, for the piezocatalytic degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB), methylene blue (MB) and hexavalent chromium (Cr (VI)). The excellent removal efficiency of Cr (VI) and RhB can be reached 100% within 180 s, through the piezocatalysis of CuS/MoS-0.6 driven by mechanical stirring in the dark. Impressively, the piezoelectric current of CuS/MoS-0.6 is 48 and 35.7 times higher than that of pure CuS and MoS, respectively. The significantly enhanced piezocatalytic performance can be ascribed to the formation of CuS/MoS heterojunction and the piezoelectric field generated by MoS nanosheets, which promotes the efficient separation of electrons and holes. This study provides insights into strategies to improve catalytic performance through utilizing mechanical energy and opens a new horizon for environmental remediation.

Background: Predictive equations often inaccurately estimate energy needs in critically ill patients. This study evaluated the level of agreement between resting energy expenditure using 12 and 25 kcal/kg as recommended by the 2021 American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition critical care guidelines for nutrition support and energy expenditure measured by indirect calorimetry in patients in the intensive care unit.
Methods: An agreement study was conducted on mechanically ventilated adults who had a documented measured energy expenditure within 10 days of intensive care unit admission.

Conjugated polymers (CPs) are considered one of the most important gas-sensing materials due to their unique features, combining the benefits of both metals and semiconductors, along with their outstanding mechanical properties and excellent processability. However, CPs with conventional morphological structures, such as largely amorphous and bulky matrices, face limitations in practical applications because of their inferior charge transport characteristics, low surface area, and insufficient sensitivity. Therefore, the design and development of novel morphological nanostructures in CPs have attracted significant attention as a promising strategy for improving morphological and electrical characteristics, thereby enabling a considerable increase in the sensing performance of corresponding gas sensors.

Periodontitis is one of the major oral health issues worldwide, with significant impacts on oral health and patients's quality of life, but current therapies have not achieved optimal regeneration of periodontal tissue. This study developed scaffolds using natural tussah silk fibroin (TSF) cross-linked with regenerated silk fibroin (SF) nanofibers to improve mechanical properties and wet-state stability. Zinc oxide (ZnO) and polydopamine (PDA) composite nanoparticles were loaded into scaffold to impart its antibacterial and photothermal properties to construct a photo-responsive composite scaffold (ZnO/PDA/TSF-SF).

The depletion of fossil fuels and the environmental impact of chemical batteries, coupled with the rapid proliferation of portable electronic devices and the Internet of Things (IoT), have created an urgent demand for high-performance, lightweight, and sustainable energy systems. Flexible triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) have emerged as a promising technology for powering self-sufficient devices, offering advantages such as simple structure, flexibility, low cost, and environmental adaptability. In particular, electrospun nanofiber-based TENGs stand out due to their enhanced surface area, superior charge collection capabilities, and improved mechanical durability.
