Mashup Score: 0
Jiang et al. report a type of bistable structure that can be precisely tuned to ultra-sensitive states by bringing the structures on the verge of instability. Accordingly, the trigger force required to induce the fast snap-through process can be controlled to 0.1% of its maximum value.

Mashup Score: 2Observation, prediction, and risk assessment of volatile organic compounds in a vehicle cabin environment - 1 year(s) ago
Wang et al. observe and estimate volatile organic compound emissions in a realistic vehicle cabin at dynamic temperatures and use in-cabin formaldehyde concentrations to validate a multi-source model. This work is of importance for vehicle designers in selecting appropriate materials to meet environmental standards and improve in-cabin air quality.

Mashup Score: 1Efficient microwave absorption with Vn+1CnTx MXenes - 1 year(s) ago
Han et al. report that vanadium-based MXenes (V2CTx and V4C3Tx) can provide broadband microwave absorption with ultralow filler loading in polymer matrix. The free electron transport, surface terminations, native defects, and layers arrangement significantly affect electronic and dielectric properties of Vn+1CnTx MXenes.

Mashup Score: 0
In this work, Babics et al. report the outdoor performance of a perovskite/silicon tandem solar cell during a complete calendar year. The device retains 80% of its initial efficiency. Local environmental factors such as temperature, solar spectrum, and soiling strongly affect tandem solar cells’ performance.

Mashup Score: 0
Kim et al. uncover how SARS-CoV-2 variants evolve to be more dependent on heparan sulfate in viral attachment and infection. A combination of computational and experimental techniques reveal that increased positive charge on spike proteins leads to enhanced binding to heparan sulfate, informing the design of rapid diagnostics for COVID.

Mashup Score: 2Gecko-and-inchworm-inspired untethered soft robot for climbing on walls and ceilings - 1 year(s) ago
A synergy of biological principles is harnessed by Sun et al. for a bioinspired, untethered soft robot with hierarchical plantar microstructures and flexible actuators. The robot can emulate the dynamic attachment/detachment of the gecko toe and the striding gait of the inchworm and can climb on walls and ceilings with a magnetic-field-assisted photo-driven strategy.

Mashup Score: 3Discrete chiral organic nanotubes by stacking pillar[5]arenes using covalent linkages - 1 year(s) ago
Shi and Fa et al. report covalent organic nanotubes with 5-fold symmetry by stacking two pillar-shaped macrocycles through dynamic covalent linkages. Three different chiral nanotubes are separated, providing one-dimensional channels with different chirality. When binding with guest molecules, two pillar[5]arene cavities communicate with each other, resulting in allosteric binding affinities.

Mashup Score: 1Chlorine-promoted copper catalysts for CO2 electroreduction into highly reduced products - 1 year(s) ago
Chlorine modification of copper electrocatalysts can be beneficial for conversion of carbon dioxide selectively into highly reduced products, but poor understanding overshadows the potential to tailor catalysts. Here, Zou and Veenstra et al. reveal how the copper phase and chlorine interact to create a promotional effect, providing design guidelines for copper catalysts.

Mashup Score: 1Direct capture of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere using bricks of calcium hydroxide - 1 year(s) ago
Abanades et al. present a DAC system where bricks manufactured from a dry lime mortar are carbonated in contact with air. The bricks can then be destroyed and recycled using mature technologies to extract the captured CO2 at a competitive cost compared with other DAC alternatives.
