Transient electronic devices have shown promising applications in hardware security and medical implants with diagnosing therapeutics capabilities since their inception. Control of the device transience allows the device to "dissolve at will" after its functional operation, leading to the development of on-demand transient electronics. This review discusses the recent developments and advantages of triggering strategies (, electrical, thermal, ultrasound, and optical) for controlling the degradation of on-demand transient electronics. We also summarize bioresorbable sensors for medical diagnoses, including representative applications in electrophysiology and neurochemical sensing. Along with the profound advancements in medical diagnosis, the commencement of therapeutic systems such as electrical stimulation and drug delivery for the biomedical or medical implant community has also been discussed. However, implementing a transient electronic system in real healthcare infrastructure is still in its infancy. Many critical challenges still need to be addressed, including strategies to decouple multimodal sensing signals, dissolution selectivity in the presence of multiple stimuli, and a complete sensing-stimulation closed-loop system. Therefore, the review discusses future opportunities in transient decoupling sensors and robust transient devices, which are selective to a particular stimulus and act as hardware-based passwords. Recent advancements in closed-loop controller-enabled electronics have also been analyzed for future opportunities of using data-driven artificial intelligence-powered controllers in fully closed-loop transient systems.

Abscission is the last step of cell division. It separates the two sister cells and consists of cutting the cytoplasmic bridge. Abscission is mediated by the ESCRT membrane remodeling machinery, which also triggers the severing of a thick bundle of microtubules.

Given their molecular properties and electronic structure, graphyne and graphdiyne are promising materials with numerous applications in different fields of material science. Dehydrobenzoannules (DBAs) are candidates that can serve as building blocks for synthesizing and designing new 2D carbon allotropes; however, only a few graphynes have been produced on a practical scale. Herein, we present our investigation of three DBAs, which serve as a model to understand the relationship between the structure and property, contributing to 2D carbon allotropes' rational design and synthetic effort.

Transient protection has the advantage of ultra-high-speed action, but traditional transient protection is susceptible to the influence of two fault condition attributes, namely, transition resistance and initial angle of fault, and there are the problems of insufficient sensitivity and insufficient reliability under weak faults. To this end, the propagation characteristics of high-frequency components of transient voltage in bus and line systems are explored, and a new method of unit protection based on the entropy difference in transient voltage information is proposed. In order to solve the problem of single-ended transient protection not being able to reliably distinguish line faults from bus faults and adjacent line first-end faults, the difference between the entropy of line voltage and the entropy of bus voltage was introduced as a fault characteristic.

Plant infiltration techniques, particularly agroinfiltration, have transformed plant science and biotechnology by enabling transient gene expression for genetic engineering of plants or genomic studies. Recently, the use of infiltration has expanded to introduce nanomaterials and polymers in plants to enable nonnative functionalities. Despite its wide use, the impact of the infiltration process on plant physiology needs to be better understood.

Xanthine oxidase (XO) and lactoperoxidase (LPO) are highly abundant enzymes in milk. Their substrates, xanthine and thiocyanate, are found in elevated amounts in infant saliva, leading to a proposed interaction between milk and saliva referred to as the XO-LPO system. This system is suggested to generate reactive oxygen and nitrogen species with potential antibacterial effects.
