Going with the Flow: Tunable Flow‐Induced Polymer Mechanochemistry

Tunable Mechanochemistry of Lithium Battery Electrodes.

The interplay between mechanical strains and battery electrochemistry, or the tunable mechanochemistry of batteries, remains an emerging research area with limited experimental progress. In this report, we demonstrate how elastic strains applied to vanadium pentoxide (V2O5), a widely studied cathode material for Li-ion batteries, can modulate the kinetics and energetics of lithium-ion intercala...

Polymer mechanochemistry: Flex, release and repeat.

Perceptual stability--going with the flow.

Historically, inflow and outflow hypotheses have been formulated as the primary explanations for perceptual stability. Central to these hypotheses is the postulation that, following an intended eye movement, knowledge of eye position cancels the consequences of the retinal image motion. Here, we reconsider the evidence for the extra-retinal signal and discuss whether this cancellation approach ...

Going against the flow.

a recent review that brings together psychophysics, neurophysiology and computational modelling, Lappe et al. provided an interesting and comprehensive account of how visual motion, specifically 'optic flow', may be used to perceive and guide human locomotion 1. The review presented compelling evidence that the brain contains the appropriate neurones, and that humans possess the appropriate sen...

Going with the flow: methotrexate, adenosine, and blood flow.

S ince its reintroduction for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in the 1980s, 2 low dose methotrexate has become the favoured second line treatment for patients with RA and other forms of inflammatory arthritis. It is safe and effective; indeed, it is nearly as effective as the biological agents that seem to have transformed the treatment of RA, and the effects of biological agents com...
