The surface electrostatic properties of liquid foam, involving the electrokinetic (EK) phenomena in the liquid-gas interface, have significant effects on the stability of the foam. Here, we established a theoretical model for ion transport in liquid films by combining the liquid flow and surface reaction. We found that the surface electrostatic properties of liquid foams were influenced unexpectedly by the pressure-induced flow. The liquid flow will induce the potential and concentration differences in the flow direction. When the pressure drop increases to a certain high value, the induced potential and salt concentration difference increases, leading to the change of the surface electrostatic properties such as zeta potential and the surface charge density. This change shows that the surface electrostatic properties of foam films depend on the coupling of various factors including ion distribution and pressure drop, which deepens our understanding of the electrostatic properties of the foam films.

This perpective delves into the emerging field of matere bonds, a novel type of noncovalent interaction involving group 7 elements such as manganese, technetium, and rhenium. Matere bonds, a new member of the σ-hole family where metal atoms act as electron acceptors, have been shown experimentally and theoretically to play significant roles in the self-assembly and stabilization of supramolecular structures both in solid-state and solution-phase environments. This perspective article explores the physical nature of these interactions, emphasizing their directionality and structural influence in various supramolecular architectures.

Although Silicon monoxide (SiO) is regarded as the most promising next-generation anode material, the large volume expansion, poor conductivity, and low initial Coulombic efficiency (ICE) severely hamper its commercialization application. Designing a multilayer conductive skeleton combined with advanced prelithiation technology is considered an effective approach to address these problems. Herein, a reliable strategy is proposed that utilizes MXene and carbon nanotube (CNT) as dual-conductive skeletons to encapsulate SiO through simple electrostatic interaction for high-performance anodes in LIBs, while also performing chemical prelithiation.

Periodontitis, a widespread inflammatory disease, is the major cause of tooth loss in adults. While mechanical periodontal therapy benefits the periodontal disease treatment, adjunctive periodontal therapy is also necessary. Topically applied anti-inflammatory agents have gained considerable attention in periodontitis therapy.

This study systematically investigated the effects of ultrasonic treatment timing on the formation and emulsifying properties of chickpea protein isolate (CPI) and citrus pectin (CP) complexes. Results showed that introducing ultrasound during the CPI pre-treatment stage significantly enhanced the emulsifying activity and stability of the complexes. Notably, compared with the independent CPI, the emulsifying activity index of CPIU-CP soared from 0.

Efficient capture of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) is crucial for high-throughput sequencing, which influences the speed and accuracy of genetic analysis. Electrophoresis (EP) and electro-osmotic flow (EOF) have a significant impact on the translocation behavior of ssDNA through the nanopore. Experimentally, dynamically tracking these two effects remains challenging, and conventional numerical methods also struggle to capture their dynamic properties in the presence of DNA.
