Directed rescue strategy for enhanced implant osteointegration in aged rats

Bone repair and osteointegration of implants is more challenging in aging populations, partially due to increasing cellular senescence. Here, Li et al. report a strategy for implant surface modification which targets senescent cells by modulating their metabolism to promote implant osteointegration.

Tandem amine scrubbing and CO₂ electrolysis via direct piperazine carbamate reduction

Integrating CO₂ capture and electrochemical conversion avoids the thermal release of CO₂ and thus could potentially lower the energy needed to make useful products from CO₂, but choosing optimal system components is still challenging. Here the authors use piperazine alongside a nickel catalyst for capture and achieve high energy efficiency and stable CO production.

Field-free spin-orbit torque switching via out-of-plane spin-polarization induced by an antiferromagnetic insulator/heavy metal interface

Electrically switching perpendicular magnetized ferromagnets using spin-orbit torques without assisting magnetic fields is a major goal for spintronics. Recently, several works have proposed using out-of-plane spin polarized currents to achieve this, but these rely on antiferromagnetic metals with low Neel temperatures. Here, Wang et al show that such out-of-plane spin polarization driven switching can be achieved using the interface of an antiferromagnetic insulator and a heavy metal.
