    Regional and correlative sweat analysis using high-throughput microfluidic sensing patches toward decoding sweat (2019)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019
    Description: 〈p〉Recent technological advancements in wearable sensors have made it easier to detect sweat components, but our limited understanding of sweat restricts its application. A critical bottleneck for temporal and regional sweat analysis is achieving uniform, high-throughput fabrication of sweat sensor components, including microfluidic chip and sensing electrodes. To overcome this challenge, we introduce microfluidic sensing patches mass fabricated via roll-to-roll (R2R) processes. The patch allows sweat capture within a spiral microfluidic for real-time measurement of sweat parameters including [Na〈sup〉+〈/sup〉], [K〈sup〉+〈/sup〉], [glucose], and sweat rate in exercise and chemically induced sweat. The patch is demonstrated for investigating regional sweat composition, predicting whole-body fluid/electrolyte loss during exercise, uncovering relationships between sweat metrics, and tracking glucose dynamics to explore sweat-to-blood correlations in healthy and diabetic individuals. By enabling a comprehensive sweat analysis, the presented device is a crucial tool for advancing sweat testing beyond the research stage for point-of-care medical and athletic applications.〈/p〉

    Near-IR squaraine dye-loaded gated periodic mesoporous organosilica for photo-oxidation of phenol in a continuous-flow device (2015)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2015-09-13
    Description: Periodic mesoporous organosilica (PMO) has been widely used for the fabrication of a variety of catalytically active materials. We report the preparation of novel photo-responsive PMO with azobenzene-gated pores. Upon activation, the azobenzene gate undergoes trans-cis isomerization, which allows an unsymmetrical near-infrared squaraine dye (Sq) to enter into the pores. The gate closure by cis-trans isomerization of the azobenzene unit leads to the safe loading of the monomeric dye inside the pores. The dye-loaded and azobenzene-gated PMO (Sq-azo@PMO) exhibits excellent generation of reactive oxygen species upon excitation at 664 nm, which can be effectively used for the oxidation of phenol into benzoquinone in aqueous solution. Furthermore, Sq-azo@PMO as the catalyst was placed inside a custom-built, continuous-flow device to carry out the photo-oxidation of phenol to benzoquinone in the presence of 664-nm light. By using the device, about 23% production of benzoquinone with 100% selectivity was achieved. The current research presents a prototype of transforming heterogeneous catalysts toward practical use.

    Wafer-scale growth of large arrays of perovskite microplate crystals for functional electronics and optoelectronics (2015)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2015-10-04
    Description: Methylammonium lead iodide perovskite has attracted intensive interest for its diverse optoelectronic applications. However, most studies to date have been limited to bulk thin films that are difficult to implement for integrated device arrays because of their incompatibility with typical lithography processes. We report the first patterned growth of regular arrays of perovskite microplate crystals for functional electronics and optoelectronics. We show that large arrays of lead iodide microplates can be grown from an aqueous solution through a seeded growth process and can be further intercalated with methylammonium iodide to produce perovskite crystals. Structural and optical characterizations demonstrate that the resulting materials display excellent crystalline quality and optical properties. We further show that perovskite crystals can be selectively grown on prepatterned electrode arrays to create independently addressable photodetector arrays and functional field effect transistors. The ability to grow perovskite microplates and to precisely place them at specific locations offers a new material platform for the fundamental investigation of the electronic and optical properties of perovskite materials and opens a pathway for integrated electronic and optoelectronic systems.

    Composite lithium electrode with mesoscale skeleton via simple mechanical deformation (2019)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019
    Description: 〈p〉Lithium metal–based batteries are attractive energy storage devices because of high energy density. However, uncontrolled dendrite growth and virtually infinite volume change, which cause performance fading and safety concerns, have limited their applications. Here, we demonstrate that a composite lithium metal electrode with an ion-conducting mesoscale skeleton can improve electrochemical performance by locally reducing the current density. In addition, the potential for short-circuiting is largely alleviated due to side deposition of mossy lithium on the three-dimensional electroactive surface of the composite electrode. Moreover, the electrode volume only slightly changes with the support of a rigid and stable scaffold. Therefore, this mesoscale composite electrode can cycle stably for 200 cycles with low polarization under a high areal current density up to 5 mA/cm〈sup〉2〈/sup〉. Most attractively, the proposed fabrication process, which only involves simple mechanical deformation, is scalable and cost effective, providing a new strategy for developing high performance and long lifespan lithium anodes.〈/p〉

    Complete resequencing of 40 genomes reveals domestication events and genes in silkworm (Bombyx) (2009)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2009-08-29
    Description: A single-base pair resolution silkworm genetic variation map was constructed from 40 domesticated and wild silkworms, each sequenced to approximately threefold coverage, representing 99.88% of the genome. We identified ~16 million single-nucleotide polymorphisms, many indels, and structural variations. We find that the domesticated silkworms are clearly genetically differentiated from the wild ones, but they have maintained large levels of genetic variability, suggesting a short domestication event involving a large number of individuals. We also identified signals of selection at 354 candidate genes that may have been important during domestication, some of which have enriched expression in the silk gland, midgut, and testis. These data add to our understanding of the domestication processes and may have applications in devising pest control strategies and advancing the use of silkworms as efficient bioreactors.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3951477/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3951477/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Xia, Qingyou -- Guo, Yiran -- Zhang, Ze -- Li, Dong -- Xuan, Zhaoling -- Li, Zhuo -- Dai, Fangyin -- Li, Yingrui -- Cheng, Daojun -- Li, Ruiqiang -- Cheng, Tingcai -- Jiang, Tao -- Becquet, Celine -- Xu, Xun -- Liu, Chun -- Zha, Xingfu -- Fan, Wei -- Lin, Ying -- Shen, Yihong -- Jiang, Lan -- Jensen, Jeffrey -- Hellmann, Ines -- Tang, Si -- Zhao, Ping -- Xu, Hanfu -- Yu, Chang -- Zhang, Guojie -- Li, Jun -- Cao, Jianjun -- Liu, Shiping -- He, Ningjia -- Zhou, Yan -- Liu, Hui -- Zhao, Jing -- Ye, Chen -- Du, Zhouhe -- Pan, Guoqing -- Zhao, Aichun -- Shao, Haojing -- Zeng, Wei -- Wu, Ping -- Li, Chunfeng -- Pan, Minhui -- Li, Jingjing -- Yin, Xuyang -- Li, Dawei -- Wang, Juan -- Zheng, Huisong -- Wang, Wen -- Zhang, Xiuqing -- Li, Songgang -- Yang, Huanming -- Lu, Cheng -- Nielsen, Rasmus -- Zhou, Zeyang -- Wang, Jian -- Xiang, Zhonghuai -- Wang, Jun -- R01 HG003229/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- R01 HG003229-05/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2009 Oct 16;326(5951):433-6. doi: 10.1126/science.1176620.

    Controlling the Kondo effect of an adsorbed magnetic ion through its chemical bonding (2005)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2005-09-06
    Description: We report that the Kondo effect exerted by a magnetic ion depends on its chemical environment. A cobalt phthalocyanine molecule adsorbed on an Au111 surface exhibited no Kondo effect. Cutting away eight hydrogen atoms from the molecule with voltage pulses from a scanning tunneling microscope tip allowed the four orbitals of this molecule to chemically bond to the gold substrate. The localized spin was recovered in this artificial molecular structure, and a clear Kondo resonance was observed near the Fermi surface. We attribute the high Kondo temperature (more than 200 kelvin) to the small on-site Coulomb repulsion and the large half-width of the hybridized d-level.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Zhao, Aidi -- Li, Qunxiang -- Chen, Lan -- Xiang, Hongjun -- Wang, Weihua -- Pan, Shuan -- Wang, Bing -- Xiao, Xudong -- Yang, Jinlong -- Hou, J G -- Zhu, Qingshi -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2005 Sep 2;309(5740):1542-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Hefei National Laboratory for Physical Sciences at Microscale, University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), Hefei, Anhui 230026, People's Republic of China.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16141069" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Large-Scale Synthesis of Aligned Carbon Nanotubes (1996)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1996-12-06
    Description: Large-scale synthesis of aligned carbon nanotubes was achieved by using a method based on chemical vapor deposition catalyzed by iron nanoparticles embedded in mesoporous silica. Scanning electron microscope images show that the nanotubes are approximately perpendicular to the surface of the silica and form an aligned array of isolated tubes with spacings between the tubes of about 100 nanometers. The tubes are up to about 50 micrometers long and well graphitized. The growth direction of the nanotubes may be controlled by the pores from which the nanotubes grow.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Li -- Xie -- Qian -- Chang -- Zou -- Zhou -- Zhao -- Wang -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1996 Dec 6;274(5293):1701-3.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉W.

    The optimization of a low specific speed pipeline pump (2013)
    Institute of Physics (IOP)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2013-12-22
    Description: A low specific speed pipeline pump is researched to improve work performance through several certain modifications. The target is to raise the pump's head up to 80m and increase its total efficiency to 26.5% when the volume flow rate is 6.3m3/h with a rotatory speed of 2960rpm. CFD Numerical simulation is employed to predict the hydraulic performance of the pump. The volute is redesigned and splitters are imported to change the structure of the impeller. A lot of factors are taken into account, for instance number of vanes, forms of vanes, width of the volute, shape of volute's cross section, etc. These transformations ameliorate the distribution of pressure and velocity in the impeller and volute that finally increase the pump's hydraulic efficiency. The impeller trim has also been made according to the affinity law to fatherly decrease the disc friction which causes pump's mechanical loss and then achieves the optimization goal finally. It is a practical case in low specific s...

    Estimations of Sensor Misorientation for Broadband Seismic Stations in and around Africa (2019)
    Seismological Society of America (SSA)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019
    Description: 〈span〉〈div〉ABSTRACT〈/div〉To ensure the accuracy of future seismological studies using horizontal‐component data recorded by broadband seismic stations in Africa and environs, we investigate the sensor orientation of 1075 stations belonging to 41 seismic networks deployed in and around the African continent in the past three decades. We applied three independent waveform‐based orientation estimation methods that involve the measurement of 〈span〉P〈/span〉‐wave particle motion based on the principal component analysis, minimizing the 〈span〉P〈/span〉‐wave energy on the transverse component of motion, and measuring intermediate‐period Rayleigh‐wave arrival angles from teleseismic earthquakes. We found that 34.3%–43.5% of the stations are well oriented within 3°, 40%–48.2% have sensor misorientation values between 3° and 10°, whereas 16.5%–18% of the stations are misaligned by more than 10°, most likely true sensor misorientation. The fairly high correlation coefficients (0.71–0.93) and very small mean (−0.01°–0.06°) and median (−0.04°–0.3°) differences suggest a high consistency among the estimates from the three methods. Likewise, the comparison of our results with reported orientations in the metadata at 33 stations demonstrates the robustness of the results obtained in this study. Likewise, the increase in the cross‐correlation coefficients and reduced time shifts between the Rayleigh‐wave signals on the vertical and Hilbert‐transformed radial components when the sensor misorientation angles are corrected show the importance of this study. An investigation of the time dependence of the estimated misorientation angles over the validation period reveals that the sensor orientation remained fairly constant for most stations included in the study. The nearly 180° sensor misorientation angles obtained at some stations led to the suspicion of possible polarity reversal of the seismometer components and/or channel mislabeling that was confirmed with a network manager for two of the seismic stations. Result of this study serves as a reference for future data users and a reminder to seismic network managers to decrease the number of errors that may lead to misorientations in future deployments.〈/span〉

    Full voltage manipulation of the resistance of a magnetic tunnel junction (2019)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019
    Description: 〈p〉One of the motivations for multiferroics research is to find an energy-efficient solution to spintronic applications, such as the solely electrical control of magnetic tunnel junctions. Here, we integrate spintronics and multiferroics by depositing MgO-based magnetic tunnel junctions on ferroelectric substrate. We fabricate two pairs of electrodes on the ferroelectric substrate to generate localized strain by applying voltage. This voltage-generated localized strain has the ability to modify the magnetic anisotropy of the free layer effectively. By sequentially applying voltages to these two pairs of electrodes, we successively and unidirectionally rotate the magnetization of the free layer in the magnetic tunnel junctions to complete reversible 180° magnetization switching. Thus, we accomplish a giant nonvolatile solely electrical switchable high/low resistance in magnetic tunnel junctions at room temperature without the aid of a magnetic field. Our results are important for exploring voltage control of magnetism and low-power spintronic devices.〈/p〉
