The Longitudinal Association Between Shyness and Cognitive Biases Among Rural Chinese Children: A Three-Wave Cross-Lagged Analysis

This study investigated longitudinal relationships between shyness and three types of cognitive biases (i.e., probability judgment bias, cost judgment bias, and threatening interpretation bias) among rural Chinese children. A three-wave design (lasting 12-month) was employed with...

Declining Small-Stem Abundance and Contrasting Intraspecific Spatial Dynamics in a Tropical Montane Rainforest on Hainan Island, China

Dispersal limitation, habitat heterogeneity, and density-dependent processes shape tree distributions, but their spatial signatures can overlap with those of vegetative reproduction. We examined diameter structure and intraspecific spatial patterns of eight dominant species using...

PCR: A Prefetch-Enhanced Cache Reuse System for Low-Latency RAG Serving

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) significantly improves Large Language Models (LLMs) but introduces massive input sequences that severely bottleneck the prefill stage. While KV-cache reuse reduces redundant computation for shared document prefixes, the reusable KV working set...

Nephele: Bridging DDR–CXL Latency Gaps with Benefit-Aware Caching for In-Memory Databases on Hybrid Memory

In-memory databases rely on DDR memory for performance, yet capacity scaling is impeded by physical constraints and the high cost of high-density DIMMs. Compute Express Link (CXL) provides a practical path for memory expansion through a DDR-compatible interface. However, CXL memo...

Mass Spectrometry Imaging for Mapping the Spatial Distribution of Bioactive Compounds in Medicinal Fungi: Applications, Challenges, and Future Perspectives

Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI), featuring label-free detection, minimal sample pretreatment, and simultaneous multi-constituent analysis, overcomes the loss of spatial information inherent in conventional homogenization–extraction methods, enabling in situ visualization of bioac...

A nuclear clock synchronized to 229Th

Abstract Atomic clocks have made time and frequency the most precisely measured quantities in physics, progressing from microwave standards that realize the SI second 1 to optical clocks with unprecedented precision 2 . A nuclear clock transfers the frequency reference from an el...

Interfacial ferroelectricity at naturally-formed van der Waals interfaces

Sliding ferroelectrics emerge as compelling candidates for next-generation wafer-level non-volatile storage applications with low power consumption and high packing density. However, artificially stacked sliding ferroelectrics with homogeneous/heterogeneous interfaces rely on hig...

Self-buoyant cell-spheroid culture programming multi-spheroid assembly

Tempo-spatially controlled culture and assembly of cellular spheroids are fundamental in engineering tissue-like assembloids for scalable application, yet remain a technical challenge. Here, we show self-buoyant culture of cell spheroids and programmable assembly of multi-spheroi...

Hierarchical Core‐Shell Phase‐Change Fibers for Active‐Passive Thermal Management, Multimodal Sensing, and Infrared Camouflage

ABSTRACT The continuous development of smart textiles calls for multifunctional fibers that can simultaneously achieve thermal energy storage, active heating, and real‐time sensing. Using an emulsion‐based wet‐spinning strategy, thermoplastic polyurethane/octadecane/poly(3, 4‐eth...
