The effects of abrasion on the heating performance of carbon nanotube (CNT)/epoxy composites were investigated in terms of Joule's heat, convective heat, and radiative heat under moderate-to-severe and localized abrasive conditions. While the overall heating behavior was characterized by the heating rate and the curvature of the transient response, a numerical solution of the heat equation was used to quantify convective and radiative heat transfers, incorporating the specific heat of each component, the convective heat transfer coefficient, and the Biot number. CNT reinforcement significantly improved wear resistance at a CNT concentration of 0.31 vol. %, but the presence of micro-voids led to a slight increase in wear rate with additional CNT inclusion. Using an equivalent circuit model, local and severe abrasion scenarios were analyzed to determine the variation in electrical conductivity with temperature at different degrees of abrasion, indicating the impact of scattering effects. This analysis provides valuable insights for estimating both wear resistance and the heating performance of self-heated surface materials, with potential applications in future space technologies.

: Selective cryolipolysis is a widely used aesthetic procedure that cools subcutaneous adipose tissue to temperatures as low as to induce fat cell destruction. However, real-time monitoring techniques are lacking, limiting the ability to optimize safety and efficacy. Traditional imaging methods either fail to provide adequate penetration depth or lack the resolution necessary for visualizing subcutaneous fatty tissue dynamics.

The combination of different metals into a discrete colloidal nanocrystal (NC) lattice to form solid solutions can result in synergetic and non-additive effects, leading to physicochemical properties distinct from those observed in monometallic NCs. However, these features are influenced by parameters that are challenging to control simultaneously using conventional synthesis methods, including composition, morphology, size, and elemental distribution. In this study, we present a methodology that exploits seed-mediated growth routes and pulsed laser-induced ultrafast heating to synthesize bimetallic and trimetallic colloidal alloy NCs with tailored compositions, well-defined spherical morphologies, and precise control over the number of atoms per NC lattice.

Transdermal drug administration offers an alternative route for drug delivery through the skin, and surface acoustic wave (SAW) technology has recently emerged as a promising approach to enhance this process. However, conventional cable-connected SAW control units face several challenges, including inconvenience, poor wearability, limited miniaturization and integration, and restricted reusability. This study introduces a wireless-powered transport strategy for the transdermal delivery of large drug molecules using a thin-film-based SAW platform.

A novel thermophilic (optimum growth temperature ~ 60 °C) anaerobic Gram-negative bacterium, designated strain V6Fe1T, was isolated from sediments heated by the hydrothermal circulation of the Aeolian Islands (Vulcano, Italy) on the seafloor. Strain V6Fe1T belongs to the recently described family Deferrivibrionaceae in the phylum Deferribacterota. It grows chemoorganotrophically by fermentation of proteinaceous substrates and organic acids or by respiration of organic compounds using fumarate, nitrate, Fe(III), S°, and Mn(IV) as electron acceptors.
