Abstract Elucidating the interplay between shape, chemical composition, and catalytic activity is an essential task in the rational nanocatalyst design process. We investigated the activity of MgO-supported PtNi nanoalloys of ?1.5 nm toward the oxygen reduction reaction using first-principles simulations. Cuboctahedra…

In the present work, two main goals are followed. First, free vibrations of multiscale nanocomposite plates consist of agglomerated carbon nanotubes (CNTs), E‐glass fibers, and polymer are presented based on first‐order shear deformation theory. Mori‐Tanaka (MT) approach and fiber micromechanics are used to estimate t…

Dielectric elastomer minimum energy structures (DEMES) can realize large angular deformations by small voltage-induced strains, which make them an attractive candidate for use as soft actuators. If the task only needs binary action, the bistable structure will be an efficient solution and can save energy because it re…

Topological band structures are ubiquitous in both fermionic and bosonic problems, but conventional wisdom holds that the topological features in a noninteracting bosonic system are only visible to finite-frequency probes. Utilizing a recently proposed boson-to-fermion mapping, the authors demonstrate that topological…

As in many of today's tokamaks, plasma start-up in ITER will be performed in limiter configuration on either the inner or outer midplane first wall (FW). The massive, beryllium armored ITER FW panels are toroidally shaped to protect panel-to-panel misalignments, increasing the deposited power flux density compared wit…

In Duchenne muscular dystrophy, progressive loss of muscle tissue is accompanied by fibrosis, chronic inflammation and reduced muscle regenerative capacity. Although much is known about the development of fibrosis and chronic inflammation in muscular dystrophy, less is known about how they are mechanistically linked t…

Acid mine drainage (AMD), associated with active and abandoned mining sites, is a habitat for acidophilic microorganisms that gain energy from the oxidation of reduced sulfur compounds and ferrous iron and that thrive at pH below 4. Members of the recently proposed genus "Ferrovum" are the first acidophilic iron oxidi…

Bacteria contamination in drinking water and medical products can cause severe health problems. However, currently available sterilization methods, mainly based on the size-exclusion mechanism, are typically slow and require the entire contaminated water to pass through the filter. Here, we present an electroresponsiv…
