Evaluation of Atractylodes macrocephala Koidz Extract as a Multi-Functional Natural Ingredient for Skin Barrier Repair

Epidermal barrier damage triggers sensitive skin disorders. Synthetic skin repair agents frequently incur irritation, whereas medicinal and edible herbal ingredients offer milder alternatives. As a traditional Chinese medicinal herb, Atractylodes macrocephala Koidz remains inadeq...

Language-derived mental object load suppresses posterior alpha power

Language and vision are two primary source modalities of information for humans. To uncover shared and unique mental representations across linguistic and visual inputs, one approach is to test the extent to which a certain neural signature is shared. In the current EEG study, we...

Measurement report: Soil reactive nitrogen gas emissions in the Tibetan Plateau

Abstract. The Tibetan Plateau, highly sensitive to climate change, exerts strong atmospheric oxidation capacity partly through rapid cycling of atmospheric reactive nitrogen (Nr). Soil Nr emissions play a crucial role in atmospheric nitrogen cycling and oxidation capacity, yet th...

Digital service providers, emerging e-retailers, and rent creation and capture in cross-border e-commerce ecosystem

The rise of emerging e-retailers in cross-border e-commerce reflects shifting competitive dynamics in digital ecosystems long dominated by global platform giants. To recalibrate attention from incumbent platform giants to digital service providers (DSPs) and emerging e-retailers,...

Sub‐Second Ratiometric Fluorescence Imaging of Histamine Dynamics in Living Cells via a Supramolecular Probe

ABSTRACT Histamine (HA) is a critical neurotransmitter, yet its intracellular dysregulation remains difficult to monitor due to the slow kinetics and environmental sensitivity of traditional fluorescent probes. Herein, we report a supramolecular ratiometric probe engineered via t...

Strong counterexamples to a supersaturation question of Ma–Yuan

For a graph 𝐹 , let ℎ 𝐹 ⁡ ( 𝑛 , 𝑞 ) be the minimum number of copies of 𝐹 in an 𝑛 -vertex graph with e x ⁡ ( 𝑛 , 𝐹 ) + 𝑞 edges, where e x ⁡ ( 𝑛 , 𝐹 ) is the maximum number of edges in an 𝑛 -vertex 𝐹 -free graph. Let 𝑐 ⁡ ( 𝑛 , 𝐹 ) be the minimum number of copies obtained by adding...

Simultaneous measurements of gas- and aerosol-phase water-soluble organic nitrogen in the winter urban atmosphere of Chengdu, China

Abstract. Partitioning gaseous water-soluble organic nitrogen (WSON) to the aerosol phase is a major formation pathway of atmospheric secondary organic aerosols (SOA). However, the factors influencing this WSON transfer process remain unclear. We conducted simultaneous wintertime...

High-power erbium-doped waveguide amplifier by modal manipulation on thin-film lithium niobate

Erbium-doped thin-film lithium niobate waveguide amplifiers have attracted growing interests due to their compatibility with on-chip high-speed electro-optical modulation. Subject to the high coupling and propagation losses the off-chip output powers of such on-chip amplifiers ar...

Pre‐Intercalated Cation Optimizing Proton Topochemistry for High‐Performance Aqueous Zinc‐Ion Batteries

ABSTRACT Cation pre‐intercalated oxides have been widely explored as cathode materials for aqueous zinc‐ion batteries (AZIBs). Although the influence of intercalants on the material structure and Zn 2+ storage capacity has been adequately studied, an in‐depth understanding of the...

Shyness and Adjustment in Two Cohorts of Rural Chinese Children

ABSTRACT The present study examined relations between anxiety‐based shyness and social, school, and psychological adjustment in rural Chinese children at two different historical periods. Participants included two cohorts (2012 and 2022) in middle childhood from Southeast China (...

Lattice Disorder in CuI Enables Filament‐Free Transparent Memristors

ABSTRACT The realization of invisible neuromorphic electronics hinges on transparent memories that reconcile high optical transparency with stable analog tunability, which is a challenge unmet by conventional filamentary devices. Here, we introduce an alloyed Cu 1‐ x Ag x I halid...

In Situ Supramolecular Depolymerization Enables Bifunctional Buried‐Interface Passivation in Inverted Perovskite Solar Cells

ABSTRACT Introducing multidentate organic passivators has emerged as an effective strategy for defect passivation at the buried interface of inverted perovskite solar cells (PSCs). However, the active polar functional groups within these passivators are prone to supramolecular po...

Photo‐Controlled Treatment for Psoriasis‐Like Skin Lesions by UVB‐Photoactivated Hydrogen Sulfide Donors and Pterostilbene

ABSTRACT Smart and efficient drug delivery is always desirable, especially for chronic diseases, such as psoriasis. We developed an ultraviolet B (UVB) light‐triggered scaffold, 1,4,2‐dioxazol‐5‐thione (DOT), for the controlled release of hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S), a pivotal endog...

Chiral Solid-State Nanopores Amplify Secondary Interactions for Ionic-Current Discrimination of Neurotransmitter Enantiomers

Abstract Single-molecule ionic-current sensing provides a powerful electroanalytical route for resolving small-molecule enantiomers, yet reliable discrimination remains difficult when stereochemical differences generate only weak and transient interfacial interactions. Here, we e...

Global Mindedness and Pro-Environmental Behaviors in Different Economic, Cultural, and Political Contexts

Addressing global environmental challenges calls not only for international cooperation but also for individuals to transcend national boundaries and identities. Previous research on the relationship between global mindedness and pro-environmental behaviors has yielded inconsiste...

Light absorption properties and composition of water-soluble brown carbon in North China Plain: implication for an enhancing role of nitrogenous organic compounds

Abstract. Brown carbon (BrC), an efficiently light-absorbing carbonaceous aerosol, exerts significant impacts on the global energy budget and regional climate, attracting growing scientific attention. To advance understanding of the spatial variability of atmospheric BrC and its...

Manganese-modified biochar enhances white-rot fungi-mediated lignocellulose humification: insights from molecular transformation and multi-omics analyses

Humic substance formation is essential for soil health, yet natural humification is slow, and synthetic production is often inefficient. White-rot fungi (WRF)-mediated lignocellulose humification shows potential but is limited by slow substrate degradation. Given the high biocata...

Hamiltonian-Aware ADAPT Variational Quantum Eigensolver for Molecular Ground-State Simulation

Abstract Designing compact ansätze for the Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) is crucial for calculating energies of large molecules on near-term quantum devices. However, the widely used Adaptive Derivative-Assembled Pseudo-Trotter (ADAPT) ansätze present two challenges: th...

Probabilistic Assessment of Carbon Storage Response to Reduction Planning for Sustainable Development in Shanghai: A Coupled Bidirectional CA and MC-InVEST Approach

China’s megacities are increasingly adopting land reduction planning, yet most land cover simulations remain expansion-oriented and InVEST assessments often overlook carbon density uncertainty. To address these limitations, this study developed an integrated framework coupling a...
