An ode to polyethylene Peptide-mediated binding of gold nanoparticles to E. coli for enhanced microbial fuel cell power generation Justin P. Jahnke, Hong Dong, Deborah A. Sarkes, James J. Sumner, Dimitra N. Stratis-Cullum, Margaret M. Hurley

The use of bio- and nanoparticle materials and their enhanced synergistic effect demonstrates the harnessing of new phenomena toward useful catalytic effects. This article focuses on the investigation of gold nanoparticles to E-coli for enhanced microbial and fuel-cell power generation. The binding properties enhance bioelectrochemical charge transfer properties in general and can be mediated by surface interaction and binding with specific proteins. https://doi.org/10.1557/mrc.2019.81

Utilizing additive manufacturing and gamified virtual simulation in the design of neuroprosthetics to improve pediatric outcomes Albert Manero, Peter Smith, John Sparkman, Matt Dombrowski, Dominique Courbin, Paul Barclay, Albert Chi

Additive manufacturing (more popularly known as 3D printing) is used to translate design and function via digital manufacturing using innovative materials. In the biomedical world, the use of enhanced design via simulation takes advantage of the digital nature of manufacturing. In this work, the customization of a neuroprosthetic limb manufacturing process is more ably targeted to the clinical environment. https://doi.org/10.1557/mrc.2019.99

On the thermal processing and mechanical properties of 3D-printed polyether ether ketone Russell Wang, Kang-Jie Cheng, Rigoberto C. Advincula, Qiyi Chen

Most references to “polyethylene” are in the nature of “the current level of environmental plastic pollution is unsustainable.” Polyethylene comprises a large volume of plastic waste because it is used in so many different products. There are, however, good reasons why polyethylene is one of the most widely produced materials in the world, and this review discusses various useful applications stemming from its unique material properties. https://doi.org/10.1557/mre.2019.15

Deep decarbonization efforts in Norway for energy sustainability Truls Norby, Emil H. Jensen, Sabrina Sartori

The authors look at Norway’s policies and strategic actions to realize ambitious goals for energy sustainability and CO2 emissions abatement from a technological and materials development standpoint. Among the largest exporters of fossil fuels, Norway compensates by intensive investments in the development of carbon capture and sequestration. With debates involving all of Norwegian society, the government has pursued aggressive strategies toward the decarbonization of energy production. https://doi.org/10.1557/mre.2019.12

High-performance polymer materials are difficult to 3D print because of their high me
