ENGINEERED WATER NANOSTRUCTURES (EWNS) AND USES THEREOF

Various embodiments of the present invention relate to, among other things, systems for generating engineered water nanostructures (EWNS) comprising reactive oxygen species (ROS) and methods for inactivating at least one of viruses, bacteria, bacterial spores, and fungi in or on a wound of a subject in need thereof or on produce by applying EWNS to the wound or to the produce.

Researchers find a new set of geometric motifs that can create self-locking, lightweight, durable structures out of soft materials. The kirigami-inspired designs can support 14,000 times their weight and, because they don't require adhesives or fasteners, can easily be flattened and re-folded.

Keeping It Together: Interleaved Kirigami Extension Assembly
Xinyu Wang, Simon D. Guest, and Randall D. Kamien
 
Abstract
Traditional origami structures can be continuously deformed back to a flat sheet of paper, while traditional kirigami requires glue or seams in order to maintain its rigidity. In the former, nontrivial geometry can be created through overfolding paper, while in the latter, the paper topology is modified. Here we propose a hybrid approach that relies on overlapped flaps that create in-plane compression resulting in the formation of polyhedra composed of freely supported plates. Not only are these structures self-locking, but they have colossal load-to-weight ratios of order 104.
