Abrégé
A method for forming a specification for a cellular metamaterial includes configuring a graph-based computation processor according to a graph-based computation specification to perform data processing steps, including steps to yield a specification of a unit cell for replication to form the cellular metamaterial. The data processing steps include forming a skeletal specification of a sub-cell of the unit cell from input data, characterizing at least one of a line and a surface within the sub-cell, forming a skeletal specification of the unit cell from the skeletal specification using one or more geometric transformations including a least one of a mirror transformation, a rotation transformation, and a scaling transformation, and performing the volumetric transformation of the skeletal specification of the unit cell to form a volumetric specification of the unit cell for replication to form the specification of a volume of the metamaterial including a number of unit cells.
Many quantum systems, including arrays of trapped atoms, trapped ions, and color centers in solid-state hosts, are controlled with optical control signals. As quantum systems increase in size to thousands of channels or more, however, it can be challenging to generate enough optical control signals to control them. A multi -wavelength reconfigurable optical control apparatus uses lasers, high-speed modulators, a reconfigurable spatial light modulator (SLMs), and a fast beam scanner to address thousands of qubits. The lasers generate beams at the qubits' resonant wavelengths; the modulators modulate the beams with control pulses at gigahertz rates; the SLM re-projects the beams into a geometry matched to the quantum operation and the geometry of the qubit array; and the beam scanner scans the beams across the qubit array at kilohertz to megahertz rate. This enables the control apparatus to address the entire array before the qubits' coherence time has elapsed.

Systems and methods to synthesize electrocatalyst compositions are disclosed. The electrocatalysts can be synthesized via a suspension of a mixture of graphene oxide and a metal-containing powder in water that is irradiated by a laser to produce a laser-reduced graphene oxide. The irradiation can trigger photochemical or photothermal reactions that form carbide nanoparticles. Formation of the carbides can occur at ambient conditions, with the resulting carbides being formed with an evenly dispersed carbide catalyst. Once formed, these catalysts can be added to hydrogen evolution reaction due to its high catalytic activity and stability.

Abrégé
A mechanochemical process to synthesize single-crystalline cathode powders for the formation of cathodes in a lithium-ion battery includes mixing a transient metal oxide precursor with a lithium salt mixture. Thereafter, a mechanical agitation process may be applied to selectively melt the lithium salt mixture to form a molten salt liquid that wets, corrodes, and separates the grain boundaries of secondary particles in the transient metal oxide precursor. As a result, the secondary particles are deagglomerated resulting in a colloidal dispersion of primary particles. The mixture is then calcined to facilitate growth of single-crystalline particles from the primary particles, thus forming a single-crystalline cathode powder. The single-crystalline particles exhibit large particle size and little to no phase separation, thus improving electrochemical performance. This highly scalable process can be used to synthesize single-crystalline cathode powders from chemical-grade precursors or black mass.

According to certain embodiments, a composition comprising a polymer of intrinsic microporosity (PIM) is described. In some embodiments, the PIM comprises a polyamide comprising a first micropore-generating moiety (e.g., a spirobifluorene moiety) crosslinked with at least one second micropore-generating moiety (e.g., a Tröger's base moiety) via an amide bond. The first moiety and the second moiety may be substantially rigid such that neither moiety contains any carbon-carbon or carbon-heteroatom single bonds. The resulting rigid polyamides formed from the micropore-generating units have advantageous properties, including, for example, sufficiently small pore sizes, large fractional free volumes, and high surface areas. Furthermore, the pore sizes, fractional free volumes, and surface areas of the polyamides may advantageously be tuned depending on the choice of the first moiety and the second moiety.
A barrier coating that is resistant to delamination includes a glass-ceramic phase and a metallic phase. The glass-ceramic phase protects an underlying substrate against environmental hazards. The metallic phase provides ductile reinforcement of the barrier coating, in part, by forming a percolating network throughout the barrier coating, thus improving delamination resistance. In one example application, the barrier coating is applied to a component of an oxygen-rich turbopump (e.g., a turbine blade) for use in a reusable rocket engine. In this example, the barrier coating protects, for example, a component formed of a Ni superalloy against particle impact ignition by an oxygen-rich gas stream.

Techniques are providing for mitigating overcurrents in superconducting magnets by adding a closed loop of superconductor to the magnet that acts as an electromagnetic shield. A time-varying external magnetic field may induce a current in the closed loop, thereby generating a magnetic field that opposes the external magnetic field, and reducing the amount of current induced by the external magnetic field in the primary current-carrying superconductor of the magnet. As a result, the effect of overcurrents can be reduced or removed.

ELECTROCHEMICAL SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR RECYCLING LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES
Disclosed herein are systems and methods for electrochemical recycling of lithium-ion batteries and components thereof. For example, in some embodiments, an electrochemical system is provided for the recovery of nickel, manganese, copper, lithium, and/or cobalt. In some embodiments, the system comprises one or more electrochemical cells, wherein each electrochemical cell comprises a working electrode and a counter electrode, the working electrode and counter electrode separated by a separator. In some embodiments, the systems described herein are configured for the simultaneous recovery of two or more metal (ions) for a given electrochemical cell. For example, in some embodiments, during operation of an electrochemical cell as described herein, cobalt and/or nickel may be deposited on a (working) electrode while manganese is deposited on a (counter) electrode. The systems and methods described herein may be particularly advantageous for the recovery of raw materials from spent lithium-ion batteries.
The invention features compositions and methods for treating diseases or disorders associated with undesirable neuronal excitability (e.g., neurodegenerative disease, such as Parkinson's disease or Huntington's disease; or chronic pain, or epilepsy). The method comprises administering to a neuronal cell of the subject a vector comprising a mini Singlet Oxygen Generator (miniSOG) in the presence of monomers of 3,3'-diaminobenzidine or aniline and N phenyl p-phenylenediamine and irradiating at least a portion of the neuronal cell to induce polymerization of poly(3,3'-diaminobenzidine) or polyaniline.
Photonics has benefited immensely from advanced silicon manufacturing. By leveraging mature complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) process nodes, unprecedented device uniformity and scalability have been achieved at low cost. However, some functionalities, such as optical memory, Pockels modulation, and magneto-optical activity, are challenging or impossible to provide with group-IV materials alone. Heterogeneous integration promises to expand the range of capabilities within silicon photonics. Unfortunately, existing heterogeneous integration protocols are incompatible with the active silicon processes offered at most photonic foundries. Here, we disclose a heterogeneous integration platform that enables wafer-scale, multi-material integration with active silicon-based photonics, with no change to the existing foundry process. Furthermore, this heterogeneous integration platform enables a class of high-performance devices, including: a grating coupler with peak coupling efficiency reaching 93%, an antenna with peak diffraction efficiency in excess of 97%, and a broadband adiabatic polarization rotator with conversion efficiency exceeding 99%.
According to some embodiments, the cell culture system allows for the passage of cells in high-throughput cell culture applications. Unlike enzymatic detachment processes, the cell culture system, in some embodiments, limits any imparted damage onto the cell. Additionally, the lack of reliance on enzymes for cell detachments (e.g. trypsin) reduces and/or prevents the accrual of genetic mutations that can occur during enzymatic detachment processes. The cell culture system, in some embodiments, is capable of passaging and/or detaching cells at rates convenient for high throughput cell culturing and/or automated cell culturing regimes. Advantageously, the cell culture system, in certain embodiments, provides sufficient adhesion to promote cell growth and proliferation, but is capable of reducing the adhesion between the cell and the surface upon application of the electric field.

COMPOSITIONS FOR DETECTION OF FLUOROCARBONS AND RELATED ARTICLES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS
Compositions, articles, systems, and methods for detection of fluorocarbons are generally described. In certain embodiments, for example, a sensing material that comprises a coupled-multichromophore is described. The coupled-multichromophore may be capable of energy transport and/or diffusion between individual sites of the coupled-multichromophore. In certain embodiments, for example, the coupled-multichromophore comprises individual sites that arc linked through delocalized orbitals such that the coupled-multichromophore is capable of energy transport and/or diffusion through each individual site of the coupled-multichromophore. The sensing material comprising the coupled-multichromophore may be configured to detect the presence of an analyte, such as a fluoroalkyl species (e.g., a per- and/or polyfluoroalkyl substance). For example, in some embodiments, the coupled-multichromophore comprises at least one chromophore that displays a change in electromagnetic radiation (e.g., light) emission in response to a presence of the analyte. The change in electromagnetic radiation emission may be detected to determine the presence of the analyte.
