High-Silica CHA Zeolite Membrane with Ultra-High Selectivity and Irradiation Stability for Krypton/Xenon Separation

Capture and storage of the long-lived ⁸⁵Kr is an efficient approach to mitigate the emission of volatile radionuclides from the spent nuclear fuel reprocessing facilities. However, it is challenging to separate krypton (Kr) from xenon (Xe) because of the chemical inertness and similar physical properties. Herein we prepared high...

Improving the Mechanical Properties of Additively Manufactured Micro-Architected Biodegradable Metals

Additively manufactured (AM) micro-architected biodegradable metals offer a unique combination of properties that are ideal for bone regeneration including biocompatibility, a fully interconnected porous structure, and the possibility to fully regenerate bony defects with native tissue upon biodegradation. Currently, the mechanical properties...

Additive manufacturing of vascular stents

With the advancement of additive manufacturing (AM), customized vascular stents can now be fabricated to fit the curvatures and sizes of a narrowed or blocked blood vessel, thereby reducing the possibility of thrombosis and restenosis. More importantly, AM enables the design and fabrication of complex and functional stent unit cells that...
