Summary: This study presents a novel approach using femtosecond laser technology to fabricate nano cones-like structures of rutile titanium oxides (NCS-TiO2) on the surface of titanium. Molecular dynamic simulation reveals that the growth of rutile titanium oxides and the formation of nano cones-like structures are attributed to the interplay between femtosecond laser ablation and the accumulation of thermal energy. The proposed method offers a versatile and straightforward approach for creating functional surfaces on metal substrates, enabling broad applicability and ease of implementation, specifically in titanium and its alloys.

Summary: This research paper investigates the fate and behaviour of nano-TiO2 from sunscreens in swimming pools using System Dynamics Modelling. The results show that regular use of sunscreen leads to seasonal variations in nano-TiO2 concentrations, and changes in the weight percentage of TiO2 in the sunscreen formulation and the filtration duration per day are the most sensitive factors affecting TiO2 concentrations.

Summary: The study prepared high performance Si3N4 ceramic using TiO2, Y2O3, and MgO as pressureless sintering additives. Si3N4 ceramic with a relative density of 99.6% and flexural strength of 785 +/- 23.3 MPa was obtained with 3 mol% TiO2 sintered at 1800 degrees C for 2 h. After annealing at 1700 degrees C, the fracture toughness and flexural strength of samples with TiO2 additives increased, indicating improved mechanical properties after the annealing process.

Summary: Large-scale molecular dynamic simulations were conducted to study anisotropic wettability on one-dimensional nanopatterned surfaces with different intrinsic wettability and surface morphology. Results showed that anisotropic wettability strongly depends on intrinsic surface wettability and becomes more evident for oleophilic surfaces. Anisotropy was also found to be related to surface morphology and the degree of oleophilicity.

Summary: The corrosion behavior of Fe-60 and Fe-83 ribbons in 0.6 M NaCl was studied. Fe-60 exhibited a local corrosion mode and formed a stable passivation film with higher corrosion resistance, while Fe-83 showed a combination of local and global corrosion modes and had lower corrosion resistance. Controlling the precipitation of nanocrystalline phases and increasing the POx content in the passivation film significantly improved the corrosion resistance of Fe-based glassy alloys.

Summary: In the study of BM-SCO and HSCO thin films, it was found that H vacancies tend to prefer sites near the external surface or oxygen vacancy channels (OVCs), while H interstitials prefer sites of oxygen on a layer that contains six-fold coordinated Co. These findings not only enrich the understanding of complex surface phenomena of defect formation but also provide an explanation for the reversibility during phase transformation.

Summary: This study explores the potential of biphenylene as a nanocarrier for the delivery of the anticancer drug cisplatin. It is found that biphenylene offers physical stability, rapid release rate, solubility, and bio-compatibilities compared to other nanocarriers. The adsorption of cisplatin on the surface of biphenylene involves charge transfer from cisplatin to biphenylene. The drug is shown to be released at body temperature in an acidic environment. Biphenylene also exhibits excellent cytotoxicity activity and cellular uptake of the drug. Overall, biphenylene shows promise as a potential nanocarrier for cisplatin delivery.

Summary: In this study, a potential platform to enhance Raman scattering and increase the number of observable Raman modes in monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) was proposed. The platform consisted of large-scale arrays of gold micropillars (MPs), which were able to enhance the Raman intensity of TMDs and make difficult-to-detect Raman modes observable. The platform showed great industrial advantages and wide applicability due to its low cost, simple process, large controllable area, and short process time.
