Pervasive liquid metal direct writing electronics with roller-ball pen
A roller-ball pen enabled direct writing electronics via room temperature
liquid metal ink was proposed. With the rolling to print mechanism, the
metallic inks were smoothly written on flexible polymer substrate to form
conductive tracks and electronic devices. The contact angle analyzer and
scanning electron microscope were implemented to probe the inner property of
the obtained electronics. An ever high writing resolution with line width and
thickness as 200{\mu}m and 80{\mu}m, respectively was realized. Further, with
the administration of external writing pressure, GaIn24.5 droplets embody
increasing wettability on polymer which demonstrates the pervasive adaptability
of the roller-ball pen electronics
Combinatorial proofs of some properties of tangent and Genocchi numbers
The tangent number is equal to the number of increasing labelled
complete binary trees with vertices. This combinatorial interpretation
immediately proves that is divisible by . However, a stronger
divisibility property is known in the studies of Bernoulli and Genocchi
numbers, namely, the divisibility of by . The
traditional proofs of this fact need significant calculations. In the present
paper, we provide a combinatorial proof of the latter divisibility by using the
hook length formula for trees. Furthermore, our method is extended to -ary
trees, leading to a new generalization of the Genocchi numbers
