AI Article Synopsis
- Researchers created smart supramolecular materials that can react to temperature and hydrostatic pressure changes for applications like molecular memories and drug delivery.
- The study focused on controlling the self-assembly of phthalocyanine gear using dynamic solvents and external stimuli.
- The supramolecular gear functions as a logic gate, switching between "engaged" (+1) and "not" (0) states based on solvent changes, temperature, and pressure, highlighting the importance of multidimensional control in material design.
Article Abstract
Smart supramolecular materials that respond toward various external stimuli hold great promise for various applications in molecular memories, logic gates, and drug delivery systems. In this study, the active control over the self-assembly of phathalocyanine gear was achieved by combining temperature and hydrostatic pressure stimuli with a dynamic solvent. Eventually, we found that the supramolecular gear can behave as a logic gate; "engaged" (+1) or "not" (0) state is switchable by solvent, temperature, and hydrostatic pressure. This paper describes not only new aspects for the rational design of smart stimuli-responsive supramolecular materials but also the significance of multidimensional dynamic control.

Lipid and protein oxidation have significant effects on the shelf-life and nutritional value of meat and meat products. While lipid oxidation has been extensively studied, it has been recognized that proteins are also susceptible to oxidation. However, the precise mechanisms of oxygen-induced amino acid and protein modifications in the food matrix remain unclear.

Organic room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) emitters with long lifetimes, high exciton utilizations, and tunable emission properties show promising applications in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and biomedical fields. Their excited-state properties are highly related to single molecular structure, aggregation morphology, and external stimulus (such as hydrostatic pressure effect). To gain a deeper understanding and effectively regulate the key factors of luminescent efficiency and lifetime for RTP emitters, we employ the thermal vibration correlation function (TVCF) theory coupled with quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) calculations to investigate the photophysical properties of three reported RTP crystals (Bp-OEt, Xan-OEt, and Xan-OMe) with elastic/plastic deformation.

Article Synopsis
- All-solid-state lithium metal batteries are promising for high energy density and safety, but issues like voids at the anode/electrolyte interface during lithium stripping can hurt stability.
- Stack pressure and operating temperature can induce creep deformation in lithium metal, potentially improving interfacial issues caused by these voids, although understanding of these effects is still lacking.
- A new coupled model (EDMP-VE) has been developed to study the influence of pressure and temperature on void evolution, showing that higher conditions can enhance void healing and stabilize interfaces by reducing void expansion and promoting filling.

When placed in the eye, contact lenses (CLs) disturb the tear fluid and affect the natural tribological behaviour of the eye. The disruption in the contact mechanics between the ocular tissues can increase frictional shear stress and ocular dryness, causing discomfort. Ultimately, continuous CLs wear can trigger inflammation which is particularly critical for people suffering from dry eye.
