More than 32.5 million American adults suffer from osteoarthritis, and current treatments including pain medicines anti-inflammatory drugs only alleviate symptoms but do not cure the disease. Here, we have demonstrated that a biodegradable piezoelectric poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) nanofiber scaffold under applied force or joint load could act as battery-less electrical stimulator to promote chondrogenesis cartilage regeneration. The PLLA generated controllable charge, which promoted...
Continuous nanolattices are an emerging class of mechanical metamaterials that highly attractive due to their superior strength-to-weight ratios, which originate from spatial architectures and nanoscale-sized elements possessing near-theoretical strength. Rational design frameworks remains challenging below 50 nm because limited methods arrange small into complex architectures. Here, we fabricate silica with ∼4- 20-nm-thick using self-assembly templating DNA origami perform in situ...
Magnesium is widely regarded as an excellent structural material, primarily because it forms the basis for a range of light-weight high-strength alloys. Recently, high-strain rate deformation magnesium has received great deal attention due to complicated modes that involve combinations dislocation slip and twinning. In this study, single crystal samples were shock-compressed along c- a-axis, then released back ambient conditions. Post-mortem transmission electron microscopy revealed...
