Traditional blending electrospinning has a series of issues during implementation, and the corresponding monolithic nanofibers can always be updated through the intentional design of core-sheath nanostructures. In this study, a modified coaxial electrospinning approach was employed to refine the electrospinning process by eliminating abnormal phenomena, while simultaneously imparting core-sheath nanostructures and improved transdermal finasteride (FIN) delivery performance. Using an electrospinnable ethylcellulose (EC) solution containing FIN as the core fluid and an unspinnable polyvinylpyrro

High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide Traditionally, designing novel materials involves exploring new compositions guided by insights from previous work, relying on a trial-and-error approach, where continuous synthesis and characterization proceed until the properties meet the improvements. This method is inefficient due to the challenges of exploring vast chemical spaces. In this study, a machine-learning-based methodology is developed to assist the design from available data in the literature, allowing us to test in silico more than 1.2 million compositions.

3D spheroid culture has emerged as a valuable tool for studying complex intratumoral processes and screening novel therapeutics in vitro. However, spheroids face reproducibility and data interpretation issues, which limit their utility. This work describes a simple and reproducible co-culture spheroid model compatible with high-throughput screening designed to study pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), a highly therapy-resistant cancer. These spheroids, composed of both cancer and stromal cells, recapitulate key features of PDAC which are difficult to study in traditional 2D cell culture,

High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide The structure of plant cellulose microfibrils remains elusive, despite the abundance of cellulose and its utility in industry. Using 2D solid-state NMR of 13 C-labeled never-dried plants, six major glucose environments are resolved, which are common to the cellulose of softwood, hardwood, and grasses. These environments are maintained in isolated holocellulose nanofibrils, allowing more detailed microfibril characterization. We show that there are only two glucose environments that reside within the microfibril core. These have the same NMR 13

Copper-based nanoparticles, especially metallic copper (Cu NPs) and copper oxide (CuO NPs), have attracted increasing attention due to their redox activity, biological efficacy, and technological applications. However, conventional chemical synthesis often involves toxic reagents, limiting their biomedical applicability. In this context, plant-mediated green synthesis has evolved and has become a sustainable and cost-effective alternative. This review provides a comprehensive overview of recent advances in the biosynthesis of Cu and CuO nanoparticles using plant extracts. The main synthesis pa

ABSTRACT Machine learning and artificial intelligence have revolutionized polymer science by enhancing the ability to rapidly predict key polymer properties and enabling generative design. The utilization of large language models (LLMs) in polymer informatics may offers additional opportunities for advancement. Unlike traditional methods that depend on large labeled datasets, hand‐crafted representations of the materials, and complex feature engineering, LLM‐based methods utilize natural language inputs via a transfer learning process and eliminate the need for complex representation and finge

Abstract An integrated tritium fuel-cycle architecture has been developed for ST-E1, a low-aspect-ratio, high-power fusion power plant. The approach couples a helium-cooled liquid-lithium breeder blanket with a dedicated circulation loop providing tritium extraction, heat removal, and inventory control within a unified system boundary. Downstream of the blanket, the tritium processing system comprises of extraction, purification, isotope separation, and storage subsystems sized to accommodate the plant’s dynamic tritium production and consumption rates. Inventory modelling is used to assess ca

High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide Polymer brushes exhibit unique structural and dynamic properties compared to free polymers due to their confined and tethered nature. While coarse-grained (CG) models for free polymers are well-established in the literature, their direct application to polymer brushes is limited. This is because brushes demonstrate distinct conformational behaviors, scaling laws, and responses to environmental stimuli that may not be accurately captured by models developed for free polymers. We have systematically evaluated chemically specific CG parameters wi
