Article Abstract
Connecting a bulk material's microscopic defects to its macroscopic properties is an age-old problem in materials science. Long-range interactions between dislocations (line defects) are known to play a key role in how materials deform or melt, but we lack the tools to connect these dynamics to the macroscopic properties. We introduce time-resolved dark-field x-ray microscopy to directly visualize how dislocations move and interact over hundreds of micrometers deep inside bulk aluminum. With real-time movies, we reveal the thermally activated motion and interactions of dislocations that comprise a boundary and show how weakened binding forces destabilize the structure at 99% of the melting temperature. Connecting dynamics of the microstructure to its stability, we provide important opportunities to guide and validate multiscale models that are yet untested.

The semiconductor-electrolyte interface with strong electrical tunability offers a platform for tuning nonlinear optical (NLO) processes and achieving giant optical nonlinearities. However, such a demonstration and fundamental mechanistic understanding of electrochemically tuned NLO properties have not been reported. Here, we developed an electrochemical Z-scan system to characterize the evolution of NLO responses in tellurium nanorod films under bias voltage.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a persistent inflammatory condition marked by the destruction of the intestinal mucosal barrier, infiltration of inflammatory cells, and ulceration. M1/M2 macrophage polarization plays an imperative function in the regulation of inflammation through the nuclear factor-kappa B (NFκB) signaling pathway and modulating microRNA-155 (miR-155). Recent studies have highlighted the anti-ulcerogenic and colo-protective properties of sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors.

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) imaging of ionic liquid (IL) distribution in electric double-layer (EDL) devices has been actively explored to understand the origin of their excellent performance. However, this has been impeded by insufficient resolution or a poor understanding of the mechanisms of 3D IL imaging. Here, we overcome these difficulties using 3D scanning force microscopy (3D-SFM) with variable tip/sample bias voltages for visualizing 3D ,-diethyl--methyl--(2-methoxyethyl)ammonium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (DEME-TFSI) distributions on a Au electrode in EDL capacitors.

Deep eutectic electrolytes (DEEs) have in recent years gained momentum as prospective compounds for next-generation (lithium) batteries. Yet, the connection between molecular-level properties and macroscopic performance of DEEs is poorly understood. We have here, by molecular dynamics simulations, studied in detail a few simple DEEs created using the hydrogen bond (HB) donor -methyl-acetamide (NMA) and one of three different common lithium salts: LiBF, LiDFOB, and LiBOB, all in a 1 : 4 molar ratio composition.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic, relapsing disease that poses significant challenges in treatment. This study aimed to develop silk fibroin-based mesalazine and chitosan:TNF-α siRNA polyplex-loaded, 3D bioprinted hydrogels for the oral treatment of IBD. For this purpose, bioink formulations composed of silk fibroin, hyaluronic acid, and sodium alginate were optimized.
