Article Abstract
Stainless steel has been widely used as an implant material for its good biocompatibility, suitable mechanical strength, and high corrosion resistance. However, its biomedical applications suffer from delayed healing due to its high density and stiffness. Here we proposed body-centered cubic lattice structures with various unit sizes to adjust the density and stiffness of 17-4 PH stainless steel implants to simulate the bone structure and mechanical performance. The mechanical properties satisfy the requirement to be used with the human body with a yielding strength over 60 MPa and Young's modulus over 1.7 GPa. Corrosion resistance characterization indicates that the implants have negligible changes in microstructures and mechanical properties in simulated body fluid for 6 months. The implants were modified by inserting calcium sulphate-based bone cement into the voids of the lattice to improve their biocompatibility. Cytotoxicity results showed that both the implants and modification have no toxicity to human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells.safety and osseointegration testing of the implants were conducted by implantation in rabbit distal femur, showing an improved recovery and bone integration of the implants. The presence of calcium sulphate and tailored lattice structure synergistically promotes osteogenesis through controlled calcium ions release and matching the mechanical properties of the bone.

It is anticipated that wide-bandgap semiconductors (WBGSs) would be useful materials for energy production and storage. A well-synthesized, yet scarcely explored, diamond-like quaternary semiconductor LiZnGeS has been considered for this work. Herein, we have employed two well-known functionals GGA and mGGA within a framework of density functional theory (DFT).

MoSe nanosheet/Si heterojunction photodetectors were fabricated by a mechanical exfoliation method, and their electrical and optical properties at different temperatures were investigated. It was found that the MoSe nanosheet/Si heterojunction device exhibited excellent rectification characteristics at room temperature, and the rectification ratio gradually decreased with the decrease of temperature. The temperature-dependent electrical properties of the MoSe/Si heterojunction device were actually caused by the inhomogeneity of the potential barrier.

Hydrated magnesium sulfates (MgSO·HO) are known to form multiple hydration states ( = 0-11) and are essential in planetary science and thermochemical energy storage. Despite their significance in detecting extraterrestrial water reservoirs or in mineral (de)hydration cycles, it is still necessary to understand how the structure-property relationships of these materials evolve at different hydration levels when pressure is applied. Through a systematic first-principles computational investigation, we elucidate the key structural factors governing the densification mechanism under hydrostatic pressure of MgSO·HO crystals.

Microfluidic devices offer more accurate fluid flow control and lower reagent use for uniform nanoparticle synthesis than batch synthesis. Here, we propose a microfluidic device that synthesizes uniform iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) for highly efficient intracellular delivery. The 3D-printed device was fabricated, comprising two inlets in the T-shaped channel with an inner diameter of 2 mm, followed by a helical mixing channel with a single outlet.

To expand the application scope of carbon steel, imparting superhydrophobicity to its surface offers an effective strategy to overcome its inherently poor corrosion resistance. However, in marine environments, conventional superhydrophobic coatings often suffer from limited mechanical durability and inadequate long-term corrosion protection. In this study, a durable superhydrophobic bilayer coating composed of PDMS-MWCNTs (top layer) and PDMS (bottom layer) was developed to address these challenges.
