However, their unconventional high-Tc superconductivity paradoxically associates with anisotropic pairing and short coherence lengths, causing challenges by inhibiting supercurrent transport at grain boundaries in polycrystalline materials. In this study, we employ machine learning to manipulate intricate polycrystalline microstructures through a process design that integrates researcher- and data-driven approaches via tailored software. Our approach results in a bulk Ba0.6K0.4Fe2As2 permanent magnet with a magnetic field that is 2.7 times stronger than that previously reported. Additionally, we demonstrate magnetic field stability exceeding 0.1 ppm/h for a practical 1.5 T permanent magnet, which is a vital aspect of medical magnetic resonance imaging. Nanostructural analysis reveals contrasting outcomes from data- and researcher-driven processes, showing that high-density defects and bipolarized grain boundary spacing distributions are primary contributors to the magnet’s exceptional strength and stability. Iron-based superconductors are promising for uses like quantum computing and superstrong magnets. However, improving their superconducting properties is challenging. This study aimed to improve these properties in a specific superconductor, K-doped Ba122, using Bayesian optimization. The researchers made samples under different conditions and measured their superconducting properties to refine the process. Two large disk-shaped samples were made using the best processing conditions found from data-driven and researcher-driven methods. The superconducting properties of these samples, and their ability to act as magnets, were tested at low temperatures. The results showed significant improvements, proving the optimization process’s effectiveness and resulting in an iron-based superconducting magnet with unprecedented strength. The study concludes that machine learning, especially Bayesian optimization, can significantly advance high-performance superconducting materials development. This could lead to more efficient and powerful superconducting magnets for various uses. This summary was initially drafted using artificial intelligence, then revised and fact-checked by the authors. The world’s strongest iron-based superconducting magnet has been manufactured.

Self-assembled coatings employ biomaterials and offer several advantages over traditional coatings, including thinner thickness, stronger binding capacity, and better biocompatibility. This review discusses the latest research on self-assembled biomaterial-based coatings for drug-eluting stents. We explore how layer-by-layer coatings and composite coating films have been utilized to load and release drugs with high drug loading capacity and biocompatibility, as well as how they promote endothelial adhesion and growth. Additionally, we examine how self-assembled coatings have been used to release active molecules for anti-coagulation and deliver gene therapy. Moreover, we discuss the potential of self-assembled coatings for future development, including intelligent targeted drug delivery, bionic stent coatings, and 3D printed stent coatings.

Of particular interest is quasi-one-dimensional SrNbOx metals, which are perovskite-related layered Carpy-Galy phases. Quasi-one-dimensional metals often exhibit a charge density wave (CDW) accompanied by lattice distortion; however, to date, the presence of a CDW in a quasi-one-dimensional metallic Carpy-Galy phase has not been detected. Here, we report the discovery of two distinct and simultaneous commensurate CDWs in Sr0.95NbO3.37 using resonant soft X-ray scattering (RSXS), namely, an electronic-(001) superlattice below ~ 200 K and an electronic-(002) Bragg peak. We also observe a non-electronic-(002) Bragg peak showing lattice distortion below ~ 150 K. Through the temperature dependence and resonance profile of these CDWs and the lattice distortion, as well as the relationship between the wavelength and charge density, these CDWs are determined to be Wigner crystals and Peierls-like instabilities, respectively. The electron‒electron interaction is strong and dominant even up to 350 K, and upon cooling, it drives the electron–lattice interaction. The correlation length of the electronic-(001) superlattice is surprisingly larger than that of the electronic-(002) Bragg peak, and the superlattice is highly anisotropic. Supported by theoretical calculations, the CDWs are determined by the charge anisotropy and redistribution between the O-2p and Nb-4d orbitals, and the strength of the electronic-(001) superlattice is within the strong coupling limit. Understanding how electrons interact in materials is vital for fundamental research and creating new technologies. However, the connection between different CDWs and their impact on materials, particularly inorganic systems, is unclear. The study, led by Andrivo Rusydi, aimed to understand CDWs in a specific crystal type, a quasi-one-dimensional metal. Rusydi and his team used resonant soft X-ray scattering to identify two distinct CDWs in one crystal. Their results showed that the Wigner crystal appeared without any crystal structure changes, while the Peierls-like instability was associated with a crystal distortion. These findings suggest that strong electron-electron interactions can drive changes in the crystal lattice, leading to different CDWs. This research offers new insights into the complex relationship between electron interactions and CDWs in inorganic materials.

However, the active perovskite phases of some inorganic LHPs are metastable at room temperature due to the critical structural tolerance factor. For example, black phase CsPbI3 is easily transformed back to the nonperovskite yellow phase at ambient temperature. Much attention has been paid to improving the phase stabilities of inorganic LHPs, especially those with high solar cell efficiencies. Herein, we discussed the origin of phase stability for CsPbI3 and the strategies used to stabilize the cubic (α) phase. We also assessed the CsPbI3 black β/γ phases that are relatively stable at nearly room temperature. Furthermore, we determined the relationship between phase stabilization and defect passivation and reviewed the growing trend in solar cell efficiency based on black phase CsPbI3. Finally, we provide perspectives for future research related to the quest for optimum device efficiency and green energy. Black phase CsPbI3 easily transforms into the non-perovskite yellow phase, while losing the outstanding optoelectronic properties. In this review, the origin of the phase stability in CsPbI3 and strategies to stabilize the black phases exhibiting the α-phase or the relatively easily stabilized β/γ-phases are extensively discussed. Furthermore, a profound analysis of the CsPbI3 stabilization progress and the evolution of the performance efficiency records of black phase CsPbI3 is provided.

The inner part of the periostracum, which emerges from biological tissues, functions as a natural interface between tissue and inorganic materials. The periostracum shows significant potential for application in implantable devices that provide interfaces; however, this system remains unexplored. In this study, we revealed that the inner periostracum performs graded mechanical functions and efficiently dissipates energy to accommodate differences in stiffness and stress types on both sides. On the tissue end, the lightly pigmented periostracum exhibits extensibility and energy dissipation under repetitive tension. This process was facilitated by the slipping and reassembly of β-strands in the discovered major proteins, which we named periostracin proteins. On the shell end, the highly pigmented, mineralized, and porous segment of the periostracum provided stiffness and cushioned against compressive stresses exerted by the shell valves during closure. These findings offer a novel possibilities for the design of interfaces that bridge human tissue and devices. The interfaces linking biological tissues and man-made devices is challenging due to mechanical mismatch, biofouling, and water content. Soft materials such as hydrogels have emerged in diverse applications, however, their unresolved problem is the loss of functions in a short period.

Herein, we report the structure of a commercially important glass-ceramic ZrO2-doped lithium aluminosilicate system during its initial nucleation stage. We conducted an X-ray multiscale analysis, and this analysis was used to observe the structure from the atomic to the nanometer scale by using diffraction, small-angle scattering, absorption, and anomalous scattering techniques. The inherent phase separation between the Zr-rich and Zr-poor regions in the pristine glass was enhanced by thermal treatment without changing the spatial geometry at the nanoscale. Element-specific pair distribution function analysis using anomalous X-ray scattering data showed the formation of a liquid ZrO2-like local structural motif and edge sharing between the ZrOx polyhedra and (Si/Al)O4 tetrahedra during the initial nucleation stage. Furthermore, the local structure of the Zr4+ ions resembled a cubic or tetragonal ZrO2 crystalline phase and formed after 2 h of annealing the pristine glass. Therefore, the Zr-centric periodic structure formed in the early stage of nucleation was potentially the initial crystal nucleus for the Zr-doped lithium aluminosilicate glass-ceramic. This research examines the early changes in the formation of zirconium-doped aluminosilicate glass-ceramic, a material used in many industrial goods. Led by Y. Onodera and Y.

In this study, we developed orthopedic adhesives doped with romosozumab-loaded mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticles to aid in osteoporotic fracture fixation and restore dysregulated bone homeostasis. These adhesives were designed to promote osteoblast formation while simultaneously inhibiting osteoclastic bone-resorbing activity, thus working synergistically to promote the healing of osteoporotic fractures. Orthopedic adhesives exhibit injectability, reversible adhesiveness, and malleability, enhancing their adaptability to complex clinical scenarios. Furthermore, the release of romosozumab from mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticles accelerated osteogenesis and inhibited osteoclastogenesis, delaying the bone resorption process.

In this review, recent advances in the development of ZHSCs are summarized. Particular emphasis is placed on state-of-the-art cathodes (including carbon, metal oxides, MXenes, and redox-active polymers), anodes (including Zn-based composites and Zn-free materials) and electrolytes for ZHSCs. Furthermore, the latest research on functional ZHSC devices with miniaturized ZHSCs, fiber-shaped ZHSCs, self-chargeable ZHSCs and self-healing devices is reported. Finally, further developments with ZHSCs are envisaged for future research in this thriving field. This research is emphasized particularly on cathodes (such as carbon, metal oxides, MXenes, and redox-active polymers), anodes (such as Zn-based composite materials and Zn-free materials), electrolytes (organic/ionic liquid electrolytes, WiSs, redox electrolytes, polymer or solid electrolytes) as well as the design of a novel device for ZHSCs.","PeriodicalId":19382,"journal":{"name":"Npg Asia Materials","volume":"16 1","pages":"1-20"},"PeriodicalIF":8.6,"publicationDate":"2024-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s41427-024-00537-9.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140560938","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
