Gelatin, widely employed in hydrogel dressings, faces limitations when used in high fluid environments, hindering effective material adhesion to wound sites and subsequently reducing treatment efficacy. The rapid degradation of conventional hydrogels often results in breakdown before complete wound healing. Thus, there is a pressing need for the development of durable adhesive wound dressings. In this study, 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GPTMS) was utilized as a coupling agent to create gelatin-silica hybrid (G-H) dressings through the sol-gel method. The coupling reaction established covalent bonds between gelatin and silica networks, enhancing structural stability. Dopamine (DP) was introduced to this hybrid (G-H-D) dressing to further boost adhesiveness. The efficacy of the dressings for wound management was assessed through in-vitro and in-vivo tests, along with ex-vivo bioadhesion testing on pig skin. Tensile bioadhesion tests demonstrated that the G-H-D material exhibited approximately 2.5 times greater adhesion to soft tissue in wet conditions compared to pure gelatin. Moreover, in-vitro and in-vivo wound healing experiments revealed a significant increase in wound healing rates. Consequently, this material shows promise as a viable option for use as a moist wound dressing. © 2023

Tailoring microstructures represents a daunting goal in materials science. Here, an innovative proposition is to utilize grain boundary (GB) complexions (a.k.a. interfacial phases) to manipulate microstructural evolution, which is challenging to control via only temperature and doping. Herein, we use ZnO as a model system to tailor microstructures using applied electric fields as a new knob to control GB structures locally via field-driven stoichiometry (defects) polarization. Specifically, continuously graded microstructures are created under applied electric fields. By employing aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy (AC STEM) in conjunction with density functional theory (DFT) and ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD), we discover cation-deficient, oxygen-rich GBs near the anode with enhanced GB diffusivities. In addition, the field-driven redistribution of cation vacancies is deduced from a defect chemistry model, and subsequently verified by spatially resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy. This bulk stoichiometry polarization leads to preferential formation of cation-deficient (oxidized) GBs near the anode to gradually promote grain growth towards the anode. This mechanism can be utilized to create continuously graded microstructures without abnormal grain growth typically observed in prior studies. This study exemplifies a case of tailoring microstructural evolution via altering GB complexions locally with applied electric fields, and it enriches fundamental GB science. © 2023, CC BY.

As electronic devices and their internal components have become more advanced, conventional computer memory technologies – which are a key component of all electronics – have struggled to fully keep up with this advancement. Meeting the demands of computer memory in modern electronics requires a zero-sum game approach of optimizing several, often competing performance benchmark criteria. Resistive random-access memory (RRAM) is an emerging nonvolatile memory (NVM) technology with great appeal due to its ease of fabrication, low programming voltage, fast read/write times, compatibility with existing CMOS platforms, and demonstrated scalability into tiny dimensions thus enabling a higher density and smaller footprint. We fabricated NiO-based RRAM cells using aerosol jet printing to investigate the performance of direct-writing as an alternative method for RRAM cell fabrication compared to conventional techniques (e.g. sputtering, layer deposition, etc.). A fabricated NiO-based RRAM cell, with a NiO layer thickness of 0.426 μm and a cell area of 0.154 mm 2 , demonstrated a clearly separated high and low resistance state when a dual voltage sweep was applied across the two cell electrode terminals. Preliminary results show that NiO-RRAM aerosol jet printed cells can exhibit resistive switching, indicating that direct write methods can be used to fabricate many cells per batch with material layer thicknesses that, while thicker than what can be achieved using conventional techniques, are just as functional.

Hydrogen storage in metal hydrides has been extensively studied due to their capacity to reversibly absorb hydrogen under relatively low pressures. Multicomponent alloys, especially those of the Ti-V-Nb-Cr system, have garnered significant attention because of the possibility of fine-tuning the hydrogen storage properties by compositional control. However, most of the investigations on multicomponent alloys rely on high-purity elements as feedstock materials, which can have a substantial environmental impact due to the energy-intensive processes required to achieve such purity levels. In this work, we propose an alternative approach by utilizing Ti6Al4V alloy (ASTM F136) scraps from the biomedical industry as feedstock material to produce Ti18Nb23V24Cr33Al2. The alloy was synthesized by using an arc-melting process, combining Ti6Al4V scraps with other pure elements. Structural analysis using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed the formation of a microstructure composed predominantly by a body-centered cubic (BCC) solid solution with a small micro segregation providing additional microstructural insights. The Ti18Nb23V24Cr33Al2alloy exhibited a hydrogen storage capacity of 2.75 wt % H2with room temperature reversibility, presenting hydrogen storage properties comparable to those of a (TiVNb)65Cr35alloy produced only from high-purity *** study presents a sustainable approach to producing Ti18Nb23V24Cr33Al2alloy from Ti6Al4V machine chips, achieving efficient hydrogen storage with reduced environmental impact.

Kinks (or domain walls) are localized transitions between distinct ground states associated with a topological invariant, and are central to many phenomena across physics, from condensed matter to cosmology. While phonon (i.e., small-amplitude vibration) wave packets have been theorized to deterministically interact with kinks and initiate their movement, this interaction has remained elusive in experiments, where only uncontrollable stochastic kink motion generated by thermal phonons or dislocation glide by low-frequency quasi-static loading have been observed. This is partly because all physical systems that support kinks are, at some level, discrete, making deterministic phonon control of kinks extremely challenging due to the existence of Peierls-Nabarro (PN) barrier. Here, we demonstrate, for the first time, experimental observation of phonon-mediated control and generation of mechanical kinks, which we enable using a topological metamaterial that constitutes an elastic realization of the Kane-Lubensky chain model. Our metamaterial overcomes the PN barrier by supporting a single, topologically protected kink that requires zero energy to form and move. Using simulations that show close agreement with our experimental observations, we also reveal unique dynamics of phonon interplay with highly discrete kinks, including long-duration motion and a continuous family of internal modes, features absent in other discrete nonlinear systems. This work introduces a new paradigm for topological kink control, with potential applications in material stiffness tuning, shape morphing, locomotion, and robust signal transmission. © 2025, CC BY-NC-ND.

Accurate prediction of electronic and optical excitations in van der Waals (vdW) materials is a long-standing challenge for density functional theory. The recently proposed Wannier-localized optimally-tuned screened range-separated hybrid (WOT-SRSH) functional has proven successful in non-empirical determination of electronic band gaps and optical absorption spectra for various covalent and ionic crystals. However, for vdW materials the tuning of the material- and structure-dependent functional parameters has, until now, only been attained semi-empirically. Here, we present a non-empirical WOT-SRSH approach applicable to vdW materials, with the optimal functional parameters transferable between monolayer and bulk. We apply this methodology to prototypical vdW materials: black phosphrous, moldybdenum disulfide, and hexagonal boron nitride (in the latter case including zero-point renormalization). We show that the WOT-SRSH approach consistently achieves accuracy levels comparable to experiments and ab initio many-body perturbation theory (MBPT) calculations for band structures and optical absorption spectra, both on its own and as an optimal starting point for MBPT calculations.

Driven by the need for sustainable construction solutions, there is renewed interest in earth-based materials. Biopolymer stabilizers can enhance the rheological and structural properties of these materials to facilitate their use in 3D printing. This research examined the influence of sodium alginate on the stability, particle interaction, rheology, and 3D printability of kaolinite, a commonly found clay mineral in soils deemed suitable for construction. Findings revealed that sodium alginate could boost electrostatic interactions to enhance the stability of kaolinite suspensions. This rise in repulsive potential energy also reduced storage modulus and yield stress by orders of magnitude. However, as the alginate content increased beyond its cross-linking concentration (0.12% - 0.6%), a reverse trend was observed, which was attributed to the formation of a three-dimensional polymer network. Furthermore, alginate addition shifted the "printability window" of kaolinite suspensions to mixtures with higher solid contents, which has positive implications on strength and shrinkage. © 2023, The Authors.

Optical spectroscopy – the measurement of electromagnetic spectra – is fundamental to various scientific domains and serves as the building block of numerous technologies.1–3 Computational spectrometry is an emerging field that employs an array of photodetectors with different spectral responses or a single photodetector device with tunable spectral response, in conjunction with numerical algorithms, for spectroscopic measurements.4–6 Compact single photodetectors made from layered materials are particularly attractive, 7–9 since they eliminate the need for bulky mechanical and optical components used in traditional spectrometers and can easily be engineered as heterostructures to optimize device performance.7,10 However, compact tunable photodetectors are typically nonlinear devices and this adds complexity to extracting optical spectra from the device response. Here, we report on the training of an artificial neural network (ANN) to recover the full nonlinear spectral photoresponse - a nonlinear problem of high dimensionality - of a single GeSe-InSe p-n heterojunction device. We demonstrate the functionality of a calibrated spectrometer in the spectral range of 400-1100 nm, with a small device footprint of ~25 × 25 μm, and we achieve a mean reconstruction error of 2 × 10-4 for the power-spectrum at a spectral resolution of 0.35 nm. Using our device, we demonstrate a solution to metamerism, an apparent matching of colors with different power spectral distributions, which is a fundamental problem in optical *** Codes Nonlinear Self-Calibrated Spectrometer, Artificial neural network, Optical imaging © 2023, CC BY.
