Trifunctional nanoprecipitates ductilize and toughen a strong laminated metastable titanium alloy

Engineering metastability can enhance the ductility of alloys, but it often comes at an expense of relatively low yield strength. Here, the authors fabricate a Ti-based alloy with heterogeneous laminated structures and α-nanoprecipitates that enhance yield strength without sacrificing ductility.

Hierarchical nano-martensite-engineered a low-cost ultra-strong and ductile titanium alloy

It is challenging to obtain Ti alloys with ultrafine microstructure owing to the low thermal stability of crystallographic boundaries. Here the authors demonstrate a chemical boundary-based strategy to produce a hierarchical Ti alloy with nano-martensites that has excellent strength and ductility.

Percutaneous nephrostomy guidance by a convolutional-neural-network-based optical coherence tomography endoscope

Percutaneous nephrostomy (PCN) navigation can be improved using an endoscopic optical coherence tomography (OCT) probe. By using human kidney specimen, Chen Wang and colleagues report a probe that has been tested feasible for accurate tissue and blood vessel identification during PCN.

Islet autoantibody seroconversion in type-1 diabetes is associated with metagenome-assembled genomes in infant gut microbiomes

Here, by characterizing gut metagenomes of at-risk children in the TEDDY project, the authors associate onset of autoimmunity leading to Type-1 diabetes with certain sets of microorganisms in the gut microbiota, and identify metabolic capabilities encoded in the genomes of these microorganisms that provide functional insights to the association.
