Regulating H‐Aggregation via a Thiazole‐Modified Acceptor‐Based Packing Reshaper Toward Highly Efficient and Stable Organic Solar Cells

ABSTRACT Organic solar cells (OSCs) based on non‐fullerene acceptors have achieved power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) exceeding 20%. However, their long‐term stability remains limited by uncontrolled molecular aggregation and morphological degradation in bulk heterojunction (BH...

Macrocyclization of native peptides through (thio)urea crosslinking of two amines

Cyclopeptides have emerged as promising candidates for drug development. However, owing to the scarcity of efficient cyclization strategies for natural peptides, the development of diverse cyclopeptides remains a formidable challenge. In this study, a variety of macrocyclic pepti...

Large maximal subgroups of almost simple classical groups

Abstract A proper subgroup 𝐻 of a finite group 𝐺 is called large if | H | 3 ≥ | G | \lvert H\rvert^{3}\geq\lvert G\rvert . This paper characterises all the large maximal subgroups of almost simple groups whose socle is a finite simple classical group. For such a socle G 0 G_{0} a...

Decoupling Chemo‐Mechanical Failure for Robust Li‐Rich Cathodes

ABSTRACT Despite being renowned for their high specific capacity, Li‐rich Mn‐based layered cathodes (LRMs) are constrained by severe capacity degradation and structural deterioration during cycling. The persistent focus on chemical failure, driven by irreversible anionic redox an...

Reducing Ion Transport Friction by Mitigated Diluent‐Solvent Interaction for Sodium–Sulfur Battery

ABSTRACT Sodium sulfur batteries have emerged as a promising candidate for large‐scale energy storage, while their practical implementation is severely hindered by sodium dendrite growth, unstable solid‐electrolyte interphase (SEI) films, and the polysulfide shuttle effect. Herei...

Data-Driven Screening of Particle Grading for Dense Granular Packing

Optimizing particle grading for dense granular packing remains challenging because the formulation space expands rapidly with increasing particle-size complexity, while direct evaluation using the discrete element method (DEM) is computationally expensive. In this work, a data-dr...

Pharmacological interventions targeting cognition and related clinical outcomes in vascular dementia: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

Abstract Purpose Randomized evidence for pharmacological interventions in vascular dementia (VaD) is fragmented. We conducted a VaD-focused, scale-specific systematic review and meta-analysis. Methods We searched four databases for English-language parallel-group randomized contr...

Anchoring Polyiodides: Microphase-Separated Gel Polymer Cathode for Zinc–Iodine Batteries

Abstract Zinc–iodine (Zn-I2) batteries are attractive for grid-scale energy storage owing to safety and low cost, yet practical deployment is hindered by shuttling of soluble polyiodide intermediates (I3–, I5–), which causes capacity decay, anode corrosion, and thermal instabilit...

Molecularly EngineeredSelf-Adhesive Conductive HydrogelEnabled by Multiple Non-Covalent Interactions for Facial ExpressionRecognition and Intelligent Grasping

Abstract Flexible electronics and wearable devices require hydrogels that integrate high strength, stretchability, adhesion, and stable conductivity. However, conventional polyacrylamide (PAM) hydrogels suffer from poor mechanics, low conductivity, and weak adhesion, limiting the...

Mott–Schottky Interface in Bi 2 Fe 4 O 9 /Ag Boosting Piezocarriers Separation for Hydroxychloroquine Degradation

Piezocatalytic advanced oxidation has been regarded as a promising and low energy cost strategy for water decontamination. Bi 2 Fe 4 O 9 (BFO) has been identified as a promising piezocatalyst due to its impressive ferroelectricity, but the low carrier separation efficiency limits...

Latent profiles of instrumental and relational generative AI engagement among university students

This study examines how university students engage with generative AI (GenAI) across instrumental and relational domains using two independent, domain-specific exploratory surveys of Chinese university students (Study 1: N = 517; Study 2: N = 508). Study 1 assessed instrumental i...

Chirality-induced spin-regulated synaptic dynamics in 2D perovskite memristors for polarimetric neuromorphic computing

Conventional von Neumann architectures face fundamental energy-efficiency bottlenecks, while current optoelectronic neuromorphic devices remain confined to simple optoelectronic responses, unable to leverage continuous physical degrees of freedom such as light polarization for co...

Hierarchical adversarial learning with culture-aware attention and LLM knowledge distillation for cross-cultural sentiment analysis

Cultural frame bias significantly degrades sentiment analysis performance across different media systems, often causing accuracy drops of up to 30% during cross-cultural transfer. Existing pre-trained models struggle to disentangle culture-specific editorial framing from true sen...

Magnetotactic bacterial-reprogrammed TCR-macrophages for durable anti-tumor photoimmune therapy

Macrophage have shown great promise in the clinical treatment for head and neck cancer (HNC). However, macrophage therapies confront significant hurdles due to a deficiency of tumor-specific targets and tumor resistance. Herein, we report the development of a magnetotactic bacter...

Multi-algorithm consensus clustering identifies four subphenotypes in sepsis-associated acute kidney injury

Sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI) is a highly heterogeneous syndrome with variable clinical trajectories and outcomes. Conventional staging systems, such as KDIGO, fail to capture this heterogeneity, limiting risk stratification and personalized management. We aimed...
