Article Abstract
The currently available nebulization devices have a slow aerosol flow and produce vapor with large microdrops. Improved devices that achieve higher airflow and produce smaller microdrops are needed to improve the clinical care of patients. To address this critical need, we developed a novel system for the molecular vaporization of liquids. This device vaporizes an active pharmacological substance dissolved in water, alcohol, or a mixture of water and alcohol using two energy sources at the same time: high-frequency ultrasound and thermal induction. Application of energy to a solution contained in the device's tank allows, within tens of seconds, for the vaporization of the solution itself, with the generation of a vapor consisting of microdrops of very small diameter (0.2-0.3 μm). In this article, we illustrate the technology used, the main verification tests performed, and the primary fields of application for this device. In particular, the advantages of both the aerosol delivery system and the administration system are highlighted.

Wearable sensors integrated with deep learning techniques have the potential to revolutionize seamless human-machine interfaces for real-time health monitoring, clinical diagnosis, and robotic applications. Nevertheless, it remains a critical challenge to simultaneously achieve desirable mechanical and electrical performance along with biocompatibility, adhesion, self-healing, and environmental robustness with excellent sensing metrics. Herein, we report a multifunctional, anti-freezing, self-adhesive, and self-healable organogel pressure sensor composed of cobalt nanoparticle encapsulated nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes (CoN CNT) embedded in a polyvinyl alcohol-gelatin (PVA/GLE) matrix.

The main bottleneck faced by traditional hydrogen production technology through water electrolysis lies in the high energy consumption of the anodic oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Combining the thermodynamically favorable ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR) with the hydrogen evolution reaction provides a promising route to reduce the energy consumption of hydrogen production and generate high value-added products. In this study, a facile method was developed for nickel oxyhydroxide (NiOOH) fabrication.

Separation of ethanol-water azeotrope is extremely challenging. Here, we design and synthesize a new sulfate-pillared metal triazolate framework, which shows sieving-like separation of water/ethanol. A dynamic breakthrough verified the ultrahigh selectivity (145), and it could produce a record-breaking ethanol productivity (3.

In this study, both pure and calcium-containing complex liposomes made from DPPC phospholipids were investigated using calorimetric and spectrophotometric methods. Liposomes were prepared using a new technology in both water and a 20% glycerol aqueous solution. Glycerol allows drug-containing DPPC liposomes to penetrate the dermis of the skin through the epidermis.
