This study investigates the production and inter-fibril interactions of uniformly truncated amyloid nanofibrils. By varying extrusion cycles (0, 50, and 100) and using carbonate filters with 100 nm and 200 nm pore sizes, precise fibril length control was achieved. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) confirmed that the mean length of the truncated fibrils corresponded to the respective pore size as extrusion cycles increased.

Thin-film composite (TFC) membranes, featuring nanoscale film thickness and customizable pore structures, hold promise for solute-solute separations. However, achieving on-demand molecular sieving requires fine control over the membrane microstructure. Here, the concept of physical and chemical dual confinement (PCDC) is introduced to fabricate loose-structured TFC membranes via confined interfacial polymerization (IP).

The cuticle is a key evolutionary innovation that played a crucial role in arthropod terrestrialization. Extensive research has elucidated the chemical and structural composition of the cuticle in extant arthropods, while fossil studies have further informed our understanding of cuticle evolution. This study examines the three-dimensionally preserved cuticular structure of the Early Devonian trigonotarbid arachnid genus Palaeocharinus, from the Rhynie chert of Scotland (∼408 Ma).

The objective of this paper is to present new heat transfer enhancement approaches in plate-fin heat sinks (PFHS) using copper foam and twisted tapes. The motivation behind these concepts is to reduce pressure drop while enhancing heat transfer compared to PFHSs fully inserted with copper foam. The impact of twisted tape type, twist ratio, and Reynolds number () on the heat and flow behaviors inside the PFHS equipped with copper foam (PFHSCF) is investigated.
