This perspective article focuses on the innovative field of materials-based bacterial engineering, highlighting interdisciplinary research that employs material science to study, augment, and exploit the attributes of living bacteria. By utilizing exogenous abiotic material interfaces, researchers can engineer bacteria to perform new functions, such as enhanced bioelectric capabilities and improved photosynthetic efficiency. Additionally, materials can modulate bacterial communities and transform bacteria into biohybrid microrobots, offering promising solutions for sustainable energy production, environmental remediation, and medical applications. Finally, the perspective discusses a general paradigm for engineering bacteria through the materials-driven modulation of their transmembrane potential. This parameter regulates their ion channel activity and ultimately their bioenergetics, suggesting that controlling it could allow scientists to hack the bioelectric language bacteria use for communication, task execution, and environmental response.

Development of low-cost and accessible techniques for creating intricate carbon structures is an important research area for advancing various applications. In this work, fused filament fabrication (FFF) of polyethylene (PE) is used to generate 3D-printed structures which are converted to carbon through sulfonation-induced crosslinking and subsequent pyrolysis. Carbons from PE precursors display more continuous morphologies than their polypropylene (PP) counterparts while achieving enhanced reaction kinetics at lower temperatures. This phenomenon enables robust mechanical properties under optimal carbonization conditions. This work provides an essential expansion of precursor selection and understanding of carbonization effects for 3D-printed carbon materials.

There is a paradigm shift towards data-centric AI, where model efficacy relies on quality, unified data. The common research analytics and data lifecycle environment (CRADLE™) is an infrastructure and framework that supports a data-centric paradigm and materials data science at scale through heterogeneous data management, elastic scaling, and accessible interfaces. We demonstrate CRADLE’s capabilities through five materials science studies: phase identification in X-ray diffraction, defect segmentation in X-ray computed tomography, polymer crystallization analysis in atomic force microscopy, feature extraction from additive manufacturing, and geospatial data fusion. CRADLE catalyzes scalable, reproducible insights to transform how data is captured, stored, and analyzed.

Hybrid halide perovskites (HHPs) are very promising absorber materials for solar cells due to their high power conversion efficiency and the low-cost solution-based processing methods. We applied small angle X-ray scattering to MAPbI3, FAPbI3 and MAPbBr3 precursor solutions in different solvents (GBL, DMF, and mixtures) to gain a deeper understanding of the building blocks during the early stage of HHP formation. We present a core–shell model where the core is formed by [PbX6] octahedra surrounded by a shell of solvent molecules, which explains the arrangement of the precursors in solution and how the solvent and the halide influence such arrangement.

IF 1.9 4区 材料科学 Q3 MATERIALS SCIENCE, MULTIDISCIPLINARY Pub Date : 2024-07-22 DOI: 10.1557/s43579-024-00613-9

Liquid phase exfoliation of non-van der Waals materials has generated renewed interest in fundamental optical and electronic materials discovery and processing. However, such approaches can limit access to novel two-dimensional materials due to the chemistry of exfoliation and processing conditions employed (e.g., processing temperature, mechanical energy input, volatile organic compounds, and sensitive redox chemistries). Here, we demonstrate the exfoliation of bulk hematite (α-Fe2O3) powder using a mild bath sonication methodology in liquid monomer media to form stable colloidal dispersions with quasi-two-dimensional hematene nanoflakes. These colloidal dispersions were further processed to form hematene poly(methyl methacrylate) matrix composite substrates.

非范德华材料的液相剥离重新激发了人们对基础光学和电子材料发现与加工的兴趣。然而,由于剥离化学和加工条件(如加工温度、机械能输入、挥发性有机化合物和敏感的氧化还原化学)的影响,这种方法可能会限制新型二维材料的获得。在此,我们展示了在液态单体介质中使用温和的水浴超声方法剥离块状赤铁矿(α-Fe2O3)粉末,形成具有准二维赤铁矿纳米片的稳定胶体分散体。这些胶体分散体经进一步处理后可形成赤藓烯聚(甲基丙烯酸甲酯)基质复合基底。

The present work evaluates chitosan/sodium alginate blended with two nanomaterials of hydroxyapatite (HA) and commercial nanoclay-Cloisite20A for improving bone regeneration. The free nano-HA, nanoclay, and their scaffolds were characterized via TEM, SEM, EDX, FTIR, XRD, and TGA analyses. In vitro bioactivity, degradation, swelling, and cytotoxicity were investigated. For the in vivo studies, two groups of rats were used (n = five) in the study period (37 days). The scaffolds were implanted in the rat’s back. TEM analysis showed the nanorods of HA have a particle length of around 107 nm and a width around 17 nm, which is crystalline in nature, as XRD demonstrated. However, the SEM images showed the formation of honeycomb-like scaffolds. The in vitro bioactivity results through the changes of PBS ions and SEM/EDX analysis after immersion in PBS detected the formation of a calcium phosphate layer which is important for bone regeneration. The cell viability results proved IC50 > 670 µg/mL and IC50: 116 µg/mL for HA and nanoclay, respectively. Furthermore, the histological analysis revealed the highest calcification after 1 month for the nano-HA-containing scaffold supporting them as promising substitute biomaterials for treating bone loss.

NbTi alloy features a moderate transition temperature and a relatively high upper critical field, but NbTi superconducting wires face inherent challenges in weight-sensitive applications. Here, we present the growth and characterizations of lightweight NbTi nanowires made by co-sputtering Nb and Ti onto poly(vinyl alcohol) as the supporting material and the nanowire template. Scanning electron microscopy and transport studies reveal that the nanowires exhibit similar superconducting properties to the bulk, simultaneously reducing the NbTi nanowire weight. This nanowire design results in a lighter structure that requires fewer materials, offering a promising solution for diverse applications.

Concrete is the second most widely consumed material across the globe after water and it is the most utilized building material. However, microbial contamination and corresponding degradation in concrete structures reduce its life span. This also imposes a financial burden as well as a threat to public health. The major scientific question posed in this research is, “Can we utilize turmeric as an alternate coating to introduce antibacterial properties in concrete structures?”. Our obtained results show that turmeric coating in concrete results in up to ~ 68% antibacterial efficacy against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) without compromising the mechanical properties.

Our obtained results show that turmeric coating in concrete results in up to ~ 68% antibacterial efficacy against <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> (<i>S. aureus</i>) without compromising the mechanical properties.</p><h3 data-test=\"abstract-sub-heading\">Graphical abstract</h3>\u0000","PeriodicalId":19016,"journal":{"name":"MRS Communications","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141570137","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The KSF-clay is a material that presents a high density of acidic active sites, ideal for being a heterogeneous acid catalyst with outstanding activity. For this study, KSF-clay was characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and temperature-programmed desorption of ammonia. Additionally, studies of the adsorption of ethanol, propan-2-ol, and acetic acid molecules over KSF-clay surface to establish their thermal stability species were studied by diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy. The relationship between the properties of KSF-clay and the adsorption-interaction process with organic molecules is related to its performance as an acid catalyst.
