- Abstract:
The majority of women with recurrent ovarian cancer (OvCa) develop malignant ascites with volumes that can reach > 2 L. The resulting elevation in intraperitoneal pressure (IPP), from normal values of 5 mmHg to as high as 22 mmHg, causes striking changes in the loading environment in the peritoneal cavity. The effect of ascites-induced changes in IPP on OvCa progression is largely unknown. Herein we model the functional consequences of ascites-induced compression on ovarian tumor cells and…

- Abstract:
Thermoelectric generators are an environmentally friendly and reliable solid-state energy conversion technology. Flexible and low-cost thermoelectric generators are especially suited to power flexible electronics and sensors using body heat or other ambient heat sources. Bismuth telluride (Bi2Te3) based thermoelectric materials exhibit their best performance near room temperature making them an ideal candidate to power wearable electronics and sensors using body heat. In this report, Bi2Te3 t…

- Abstract:
on migration represents an intrinsic instability of metal halide perovskite solar cells. Here we show that triple-cation FAxMAyCs1-x-yPbI3 [FA+ = (NH2)2CH+, MA+ = CH3NH3+] active layers with mixed orthorhombic, post-perovskite (δortho-CsPbI3), and cubic perovskite (α) phases (i.e., α/δ-phase FAxMAyCs1-x-yPbI3) exhibit improved cation stability against applied bias relative to pure α-phase perovskites (i.e., FA0.85Cs0.15PbI3 and FA0.76MA0.15Cs0.09PbI3). Infrared photothermal heterodyne imaging…

- Abstract:
Understanding water behavior in confined volumes is important in applications ranging from water purification to healthcare devices. Especially relevant are wetting and dewetting phenomena which can be switched by external stimuli, such as light and electric fields. Here, these behaviors are exploited for electrochemical processing by voltage-directed ion transport in nanochannels contained within nanopore arrays in which each nanopore presents three electrodes. The top and middle electrodes …

- Abstract:
Thermal rectification is an exotic thermal transport phenomenon which allows heat to transfer in one direction but block the other. We demonstrate an unusual dual-mode solid-state thermal rectification effect using a heterogeneous “irradiated-pristine” polyethylene nanofiber junction as a nanoscale thermal diode, in which heat flow can be rectified in both directions by changing the working temperature. For the nanofiber samples measured here, we observe a maximum thermal rectification factor…

- Abstract:
Flow through negatively charged nanopores separates Li+and K+with selectivities of up to 70 and Li+passages from 20% to above 100%. Remarkably, both the Li+/K+selectivity and Li+passage initially increase with flow rate, breaking the permeability/selectivity trade-off. Modelling demonstrates that flow through the membranes creates electric fields that retard transport of cations. Selectivity increases with flow rate because the K+electromigration velocity exceeds its convective velocity, but …

- Abstract:
Abstract Zeolite imidazole framework (ZIF-90) nanoparticles were chemically modified by grafting triptycene moieties. The modified nanoparticles were introduced into a triptycene-based polyimide as fillers to generate mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) for gas separation. The incorporation of “hook-like” triptycene moieties in both dispersed and continuous phases led to intimate contact between the two phases and thus defect-free interfacial morphology, due to the supramolecular interlocking and π…

- Abstract:
A major challenge for chemotherapy of bacterial infections is perturbation of the intestinal microbiota. Clostridioides difficile is a Gram-positive bacterium of the gut that can thrive under this circumstance. Its production of dormant and antibiotic-impervious spores results in chronic disruption of normal gut flora and debilitating diarrhea and intestinal infection. C. difficile is responsible for 12,800 deaths per year in the United States. Here, we report the discovery of 2-(4-(3-(triflu…

- Abstract:
Printing techniques using nanomaterials have emerged as a versatile tool for fast prototyping and potentially large-scale manufacturing of functional devices. Surfactants play a significant role in many printing processes due to their ability to reduce interfacial tension between ink solvents and nanoparticles and thus improve ink colloidal stability. Here, a colloidal graphene quantum dot (GQD)-based nanosurfactant is reported to stabilize various types of 2D materials in aqueous inks. In pa…

- Abstract:
Cesium lead iodide with cubic perovskite structure (a-CsPbI3) is gaining sig- nificant interest in photovoltaic applications due to its excellent absorbance of the visible solar light and other attractive optoelectronic properties. However, the synthesis of stable a-CsPbI3 poses a significant challenge. Mechanochemical synthesis is emerging as a suitable method for the preparation of cesium lead halides. This work investigates the ball milling-induced synthesis of cesium lead halides perovski…
