Summary: Researchers successfully achieve tunable structural colorations of zirconium (Zr) by coating it with a one-step anodization procedure. The colors of ultrathin zirconia (ZrO2) films can be adjusted by controlling the anodization time and cover the entire visible range. The structural color exhibits excellent stability withstanding rinsing, heat, and ultraviolet irradiation tests, suggesting its potential applications in color displays, camouflage, and anti-counterfeiting technology.

Summary: In this study, the permeability and conductivity control of ions confined in nanochannels of anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) templates modified with thermo-responsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) brushes are demonstrated. The PNIPAM brushes are successfully grafted onto the hexagonally packed cylindrical nanopores of AAO templates through surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP). The reversible surface properties caused by the extended and collapsed states of the polymer chains are also demonstrated by dye release tests.

Summary: This study explored the influence of the selective layer properties of ceramic multichannel microfiltration membranes on the filtration performance during milk protein fractionation. Differences in membrane performance were linked to characteristics of the selective layer material, zeta-potential, pore size distribution, and fouling resistance. Membrane flux and protein permeation were affected by the selective layer material, with materials with wider pore size distribution showing more pronounced flux decrease after acidic conditioning.

Summary: In this study, a distinctive photoresponsive ion-conductive device utilizing azobenzene-based ionic liquids confined in nanochannels of anodic aluminum oxide templates was demonstrated. The ionic liquids formed micelles in the nanochannels and exhibited high ion conductivities. In addition, reversible isomerization of the ionic liquids through UV/vis light irradiation led to changes in micelle sizes and ion conductivities.

Summary: This study presents a method for detecting toxic agricultural pollutants, such as paraquat derivatives, using pyranine-grafted AAO (P-AAO) membranes. The P-AAO membranes exhibit high sensibility and immediacy in sensing paraquat derivatives through pi-pi electron stacking interactions, Coulombic attractions, and charge-transfer interactions. The changes in UV-vis spectra and impedance in Nyquist plots are observed during the detection process, with a limit of detection (LoD) of 0.9 mu M. This work demonstrates the potential of P-AAO membranes as an excellent choice for detecting pollutants in the environment and industry.

Summary: In order to combat COVID-19, it is crucial to understand the host cell types, cell states, and regulators associated with infection and pathogenesis. SPaRTAN, an integrated tool for analyzing single-cell proteomic and transcriptomic data, has been developed to identify the associations between cell surface proteins and transcription factors in host immune cells. To provide a user-friendly platform for data analysis and visualization, the COVID-19db web server has been established, which includes cell surface protein expression, SPaRTAN-inferred TF activities, and their associations with major host immune cell types.

Summary: Previous studies have shown that vibration- or rotation-based techniques can effectively mitigate fouling during membrane filtration. However, it is difficult to incorporate these techniques with spiral wound modules (SWMs) widely used in water and wastewater treatment. This study developed a prototype membrane system to accommodate angular vibrations with a modified SWM, and experimental results showed that applying angular vibrations can effectively control algal fouling in an SWM with lower energy consumption compared to traditional methods.

Summary: Increasing temperatures worldwide pose a significant health risk, exacerbated by high humidity. Conventional air conditioners contribute heavily to carbon dioxide emissions, with dehumidification being a major factor. Membrane-based dehumidification system offers energy efficiency and non-toxic water vapor removal. This study demonstrates a membrane dehumidification system with polymeric hollow fibers coated with a green polyphenol coating, showing remarkable water vapor transport rate and selectivity. Long-term testing reveals minimal decline in vapor transport and a 4-5 times higher coefficient of performance (COP) compared to conventional dehumidifiers, making it a highly competitive, energy-saving device with reduced emissions and a smaller footprint.
