Emulating biological perception mechanisms to construct intelligent sensing devices and systems represents a paradigm for promoting human-computer interaction in the Internet of Everything era. Nonetheless, developing highly sensitive, real-time sensing and rapidly integrated intelligent interaction units remains a challenging and time-consuming endeavor. This study employs a low-temperature glow discharge technique to rapidly fabricate graded nanotexturing architectural triboelectric nanopaper, upon which wearable triboelectric sensors for real-time tactile detection are designed. The structure enhances the contact area under an external force. Additionally, the Z-stacking structure design enables the sensor to achieve a remarkable sensitivity of 10.3 kPa and a rapid response time of 52 ms. Furthermore, a tactile sensor array was designed to demonstrate the triboelectric sensor's ability to recognize characteristic pressures. With programmable machine learning techniques, the object recognition rate reached 97%. This study supports material structural design across disciplines, laying a solid foundation for the rapid fabrication and integration of transient wearable electronics.

Sub-wavelength plasmonic light trapping nanostructures are promising candidates for achieving enhanced broadband absorption in ultra-thin silicon (Si) solar cells. In this work, we use finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations to demonstrate the light harvesting properties of periodic and parabola shaped Si nanostructures, decorated with metallic gold (Au) nanoparticles (NPs). The active medium of absorption is a 2 μm thick crystalline-silicon (c-Si), on top of which the parabolic nanotextures couple incident sunlight into guided modes.

Effect of Treated Time of Hydrothermal Etching Process on Oxide Layer Formation and Its Antibacterial Properties.

Biomimetics (Basel)

July 2022

Department of Comparative Biomedical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine, Mississippi State University, Mississippi State, MS 39762, USA.

Inspired by natural materials, we developed an antibacterial surface on titanium (Ti) using hydrothermal etching techniques and examined the effect of treated time on oxide layer formation, its antibacterial properties, and surface defects. Hydrothermal etching was conducted on Grade 2 commercially pure Ti immersed in 5M NaOH at 250 °C during a range of time of 0-12 h. Nanopillars generated on the surface had ~100 nm thickness, which resulted in decreased attachment and rupturing of the attached bacteria.

Background: Recent concerns regarding the association between macrotextured breast implants and anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) have led to renewed interest in the use of devices with less texturing. Smooth implants appear to have a decreased risk of ALCL; however, low implant adherence has led to questions about implant stabilization and bottoming-out. The senior author has used a split muscle support (SMS) technique to help support the implant infero-laterally in over 380 breast augmentations and augmentation-mastopexy using smooth implants, with a low complication and reoperation rate.

Various nanostructures found in biological organisms are often complex and they exhibit unique optical functions. This study surprisingly found that typical random lasing occurs in cancerous human tissues embedded with the nanotextured organic dye 4-(dicyanomethylene)-2-tert-butyl-6-(1,1,7,7- tetramethyljulolidyl-9-enyl)-4H-pyran (DCJTB). Hematoxylin and eosin stain images show that there are more laser resonators in cancerous tissues, caused by a large number of disordered scatters.
