Abstract: A three-dimensional bicontinuous nanoporous platinum-based (3D-BC—NP—Pt(Au)) electrode is prepared by co-electrodepositing Pt and Ag to form a Pt—Ag alloy thin film on a gold substrate, annealing the Pt—Ag alloy thin film deposited on the gold substrate to produce a Pt—Ag—Au alloy, and dealloying the Pt—Ag—Au alloy by dissolving Ag to produce the nanoporous three-dimensional bicontinuous Pt—Au electrode with or without: hierarchical porosity, cylindrical nanopores, and engineered nano-cracks. Electrodes comprising Pt—Au alloys are also provided.

Abstract: The technology is based on a conducting, ferromagnetic ink made from, in an aqueous suspension: conducting nanopolymers, ferromagnetic nanoparticles, an adhesion promoter and optionally, a surfactant and/or stabilizer. The ink is used to form reversible physical and electrical connections between e.g., rigid and flexible devices. In some aspects, the conducting nanopolymers are PEDOT:PSS (poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate) nanopolymers and the magnetic nanoparticles are iron oxide nanoparticles. The ink, which may be magnetic, is used to form solid, flexible, ferromagnetic conducting designs or nodes which may also be magnetic. The flexible, ferromagnetic conducting designs or nodes are used to form reversible magnetic electrical connections with devices such as potentiostats and data telemetry devices.

Abstract: A robotic gripper is capable of withstanding the high temperatures of processes such as metal additive manufacturing. One or more of the fingers of the gripper include a casted ceramic insulator with a steel finger backing. Industrial thermocouples may attach to a finger for active temperature monitoring. An exemplary robotic gripper is adaptive, usable on a collaborative robot, and temperature resistant to over 1000° C. without introducing costly augmentations such as liquid cooling.

Abstract: Synthetic mini circular RNA vaccine constructs are provided. The synthetic mini circular RNA constructs encode one or more antigens and are used, for example, as vaccines against cancer or infectious agents. In some aspects, the one or more antigens are translated as concatemer peptides by rolling cycle translation (RCT) of the mini circular RNA.

Abstract: Bivalent ligands which bind to MOR-CCR5 heterodimers are provided. The bivalent ligands comprise two discrete pharmacophores, naltrexone and maraviroc, linked by a spacer and bind to MOR-CCR5 heterodimers, e.g. at the surface of a cell. The bivalent ligands are useful in assays to detect MOR-CCR5 heterodimers, as therapeutic agents to prevent and/or treat diseases characterized by the presence of MOR-CCR5 heterodimers.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure can include, for example, an atomic force microscopy (AFM) system, including a cantilever(s), an optical pickup unit(s) (OPU(s)) including a laser positioned over the cantilever(s), and a power source providing noise with a noise level that is below 300 Picometers. The noise level of the power source can be below 200
Picometers. A digitizing arrangement can be included which can be associated with the OPU. The digitizing arrangement(s) can have a bandwidth of about 2 MHZ. The OPU(s) can have a detection bandwidth of at least 80 MHZ. The exemplary apparatus can be combined with a chemical protocol and statistical signal processing and image analysis procedures to map DNA at high speed and accuracy.-
