MeCO was allowed to interact with 20 different Lewis acids so as to engage in various sorts of noncovalent interactions, encompassing hydrogen, halogen, chalcogen, pnictogen, and tetrel bonds. Density functional theory computations evaluated the interaction energy of each dyad, which was compared with spectroscopic, geometric, AIM, and energy decomposition elements so as to elucidate any correlations. The red shift of the C═O stretching frequency, and the changes in the nuclear magnetic resonance shielding of the O and C atoms of acetone, are closely correlated with the interaction energy so can be used to estimate the latter from experimental measurements. The standard AIM measures at the bond critical point, ρ, ∇ρ, and also correlate with the energy, albeit not as well as the spectroscopic parameters. The σ-hole depth on the Lewis acid is not well correlated with the energetics, due in part to the fact that electrostatics in general are not an accurate metric of bond strength.

X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is a rare and progressive disease, due to inactivating mutations in the phosphate-regulating endopeptidase homolog X-linked (PHEX) gene. These pathogenic variants result in elevated circulating levels of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), responsible for the main clinical manifestations of XLH, such as hypophosphatemia, skeletal deformities, and mineralization defects. However, XLH also involves muscular disorders (muscle weakness, pain, reduced muscle density, peak strength, and power).

Developing high-performance wearable flexible sensors that can adapt well to complex environments has become a hotspot. Herein, a polyvinyl alcohol based composite hydrogel sensor with high mechanical strength, desirable frost/swelling resistance, and highly sensitive sensing performance was proposed by a multi-component collaborative design strategy. Meanwhile, an intelligent gesture recognition system was established by combining machine learning algorithm.

Hypothesis: On highly cleaned planar surfaces submerged in highly cleaned water, flat surface nanobubbles with an angle of attachment of ∼15 are observed - never on engineering surfaces submerged in plain water, though here unidentified cavitation nuclei are always present and cause low tensile strength.
Experiments: In the present study, surface nanobubbles are generated by standard experimental techniques on a polished steel surface, and we find that the shape and the angles of attachment of the bubbles are influenced by the local substrate topography. These observations align with the theory of non-adsorbed liquid zones, which explains a surface nanobubble as a bubble with a skin of contamination molecules, which bond along the bubble rim at a contact angle of ∼14.

Recently, the regulatory effect of natural antioxidants on oleogels has attracted the attention of scholars. Whether natural antioxidants with different structures can co-gel with gelators remains unclear. In this study, the impact of water-soluble (dihydroquercetin and epicatechin) and fat-soluble (lycopene and L-ascorbate palmitate) antioxidants on the physicochemical properties of diacylglycerol oleogels was investigated.

Nanostructured cubic boron nitride (NS-cBN) has attracted significant attention due to its high hardness and excellent thermal stability, yet a systematic strategy to balance strength and toughness through atomically structural design remains elusive. Here, we integrate plasticity theory with large-scale atomistic simulations to elucidate the size-dependent roles of internal defects, i.e.
