Plant zygote cells exhibit tip growth, producing a hemisphere-like tip. To understand how this hemisphere-like tip shape is formed, we revisited a viscoelastic-plastic deformation model that enabled us to simultaneously evaluate the shape, stress and strain of Arabidopsis () zygote cells undergoing tip growth. Altering the spatial distribution of cell wall extensibility revealed that cosine-type distribution and growth in a normal direction to the surface create a stable hemisphere-like tip shape. Assuming these as constraints for cell elongation, we determined the best-fitting parameters for turgor pressure and wall extensibility to computationally reconstruct an elongating zygote that retained its hemisphere-like shape using only cell contour data, leading to the formulation of non-dimensional growth parameters. Our computational results demonstrate the different morphologies in elongating zygotes through effective non-dimensional parameters.

Background: Research on the growth mechanism of titanium dioxide (TiO) nanotube arrays fabricated by anodic oxidation is essential to achieve artificial control of the microstructure and to expand their applications. In our previous work, we reported the preparation of highly ordered large-diameter double-wall TiO nanotube arrays prepared by high voltage anodization.
Methods: In this paper, we observed and analyzed the initial growth process of large-diameter double-wall TiO nanotube arrays anodized at 120 V in ethylene glycol electrolyte containing aluminum fluoride (NHF) and water (HO), such as the evolution of surface and cross-sectional morphologies, the influence of current density on growth rate, the transition process from nanoholes to nanotubes, and the evolution of dimples on the remaining substrate.

A high-velocity oxygen fuel (HVOF) system was employed to prepare a FeCrMnMoWBCSi amorphous coating on mild steel. The electrochemical behavior of the resultant coatings, namely as-sprayed coating and vacuum heat-treated coating (at 650 °C and 800 °C), were investigated in a 3.5% NaCl solution at variable temperatures using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), potentiodynamic polarization, optical microscopy (OM), and XRD diffraction.

Hemisphere-like gold nanoparticles (NPs) were loaded on TiO (Au/TiO) by the deposition-precipitation method. Subsequent photodeposition of CdS on the Au surface of Au/TiO at 50 °C yields Au(core)-CdS(shell) hybrid quantum dots with a heteroepitaxial (HEPI) junction on TiO (Au@#CdS/TiO), whereas nonHEPI Au@CdS/TiO was formed by CdS photodeposition at 25 °C. In the HEPI system, the shape of the Au core changes to an angular shape, whereas it remains in a hemisphere-like shape in the nonHEPI system.

Digital image sensors in hemispherical geometries offer unique imaging advantages over their planar counterparts, such as wide field of view and low aberrations. Deforming miniature semiconductor-based sensors with high-spatial resolution into such format is challenging. Here we report a simple origami approach for fabricating single-crystalline silicon-based focal plane arrays and artificial compound eyes that have hemisphere-like structures.
