Summary: The spreading behavior of microdroplets differs from larger droplets due to the influence of size and surface tension. Experiments showed that the initial spreading of smaller droplets is shorter with reduced oscillation damping compared to millimeter-scale droplets. The coupling between spreading velocity and dynamic contact angle may have applications in microscale heat transfer, advanced manufacturing, and aerosol transmission studies.

Summary: In this study, the phenomenon of negative differential thermal resistance effect is observed in a solid-liquid-solid sandwiched system with a nanostructured cold surface. Non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations reveal that the heat flux initially increases with temperature bias for low temperature bias, but decreases counter-intuitively for high temperature bias. The negative differential thermal resistance effect at high temperature bias is attributed to the suppressed solid-liquid interfacial thermal conductance with decreasing temperature, as analyzed based on interfacial thermal resistance and density depletion length at the solid-liquid interface.

Summary: This study investigates the interaction between highly efficient antibacterial surfaces with sharp nanostructures and blood proteins, as well as the subsequent immunological consequences, which are crucial for the fate of implantable biomaterials. The research found significant differences in the protein corona composition formed on control and nanostructured surfaces when exposed to human serum and plasma. The quantitative analysis demonstrated that the nanostructured surface attracted more vitronectin and less complement proteins compared to the untreated control. The protein corona composition further modulated the adhesion and cytokine expression by immune cells. In addition, in vivo studies using a subcutaneous mouse model showed reduced fibrous capsule thickness, suggesting an attenuated inflammatory response. These findings suggest that antibacterial surface modification with sharp nanostructures may not only reduce inflammation but also lead to a more favorable foreign body response and enhanced healing, benefiting most medical devices implanted in patients.

Summary: This study found that NFAT5 lysine methylation is a determinant of the response to temozolomide (TMZ) therapy. Activation of EGFR induces phosphorylated EZH2 (Ser21) binding and triggers NFAT5 methylation at K668. Methylation prevents NFAT5 degradation and cytosol localization restriction, leading to NFAT5 protein stabilization, nuclear accumulation and activation. Inhibition of NFAT5 K668 methylation can improve TMZ efficacy in xenograft and patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models.

Summary: This study investigates the boiling behavior of R32/R134a mixtures on nanostructured surfaces using molecular dynamics simulations. The results show that R32 is more likely to boil than R134a on the same surface structure, and the specific mass fraction of the mixture affects the bubble inception time. The concave nanostructured surface promotes bubble nucleation.

Summary: One-step sequence-selective block copolymerization requires strict catalytic control of monomer activity and enchainment order, especially for A(n)B(m)-type block copolymers from simple binary monomer mixtures. In this study, ethylene oxide (EO) and N-sulfonyl aziridine (Az) form a valid pair with a bicomponent metal-free catalyst. The optimal Lewis acid/base ratio allows the two monomers to block-copolymerize strictly in a reverse order (EO-first) compared to the conventional anionic route (Az-first). The livingness of the copolymerization enables the one-pot synthesis of multiblock copolymers by adding mixed monomers in batches. Calculation results suggest that the Janus effect of Lewis acid on the two monomers is crucial for enlarging the activity difference and reversing the enchainment order.

Summary: Recently, Lewis pairs composed of organobases and organoboranes have shown high catalytic activity for the synthesis of polyethers by ring-opening polymerization of epoxides. The unexpected chemoselectivity was attributed to the protonolysis of Et3B and the reversible interchange of acyloxyborane and borinic ester at the propagating chain ends, which suppressed the reaction between hydroxy species and epoxide while maintaining the catalytic activity for the reaction between carboxy species and epoxide. Additionally, the polyesters containing catalyst residues exhibited good cytocompatibility.

Summary: In this study, a simple one-pot synthesis of α-thiol-ω-hydroxylpolyethers was reported, achieved through ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of epoxides using thiocarboxylic acid initiators followed by in situ aminolysis. The metal-free Lewis pair catalyst utilized in this method allowed for efficient and chemoselective polymerization, resulting in controlled molar mass, low dispersity, and high end-group fidelity. The stability of thioester during the ROP also allowed for the synthesis of α-thiol-ω-dihydroxyl (Y-shaped) PEO, which exhibited enhanced protein resistance behavior due to the intensified interaction with gold surfaces.

Summary: The design of a solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) plays a crucial role in improving the electrochemical performance of anode materials. In this study, lithium difluoro(oxalate)borate (LiDFOB) is used as an electrolyte additive to form a protective SEI film on Li3VO4 (LVO) anodes. The addition of LiDFOB results in a dense, uniform, stable, and LiF-richer SEI, which enhances the Li-ion storage kinetics. The generated SEI also prevents further decomposition of the electrolyte and maintains the morphology of LVO anodes during charge/discharge processes. This work demonstrates the effectiveness of LiDFOB as a multi-functional additive for LiPF6 electrolytes and provides insights into SEI construction for high-performance LVO anodes.

Summary: In this study, we used density functional theory (DFT) calculations to investigate the interaction between model graphene oxide (GO) nanostructures and chlorine monoxide ClO. We aimed to understand the role of this highly oxidizing species in breaking C-C bonds and forming significant holes on GO sheets. Our results showed that C-C bonds in a single graphene oxide sheet can be broken through a simple mechanism involving the dissociation of two chemically attached ClO molecules. The formation of carbonyl groups and holes on the GO surface was also observed. This study provides important insights into the degradation of carbon nanotubes and the stability of GO during the myeloperoxidase (MPO) catalytic cycle.

Summary: In this study, the X-ray stability of five different lead halide perovskite compositions (MAPbI3, MAPbCl3, MAPbBr3, FAPbBr3, CsPbBr3) was investigated using photoelectron spectroscopy. Different degradation mechanisms and resistance to X-ray were observed depending on the crystal composition. Overall, perovskite compositions based on the MA+ cation were found to be less stable than those based on FA+ or Cs+. Metallic lead formation was most easily observed in the chloride perovskite, followed by bromide, and very little in MAPbI3. Multiple degradation processes were identified for the bromide compositions, including ion migration, formation of volatile and solid products, as well as metallic lead. CsBr was formed as a solid degradation product on the surface of CsPbBr3.

Increasing the manganese content leads to a decrease in stability. The behavior of iron and manganese in the oxide shows distinct differences, which can be attributed to the difference in the enthalpy of oxidation reactions. Additionally, the change in the La/Sr ratio affects the concentration of iron and manganese ions.
