Physics‐Guided Transformer Enables Efficient Inverse Design of Terahertz Metasurfaces for Glucose Sensing

ABSTRACT Inverse design of terahertz (THz) metasurfaces via algorithmic models has become a mainstream trend and finds wide application in THz biosensing devices. However, traditional inverse design methods without optimization often rely solely on mathematical correlations, lack...

High-Quality Complete Genome Assembly of Bacillus velezensis BV2007 and Genomic Insights Into Its Potential for Biocontrol of Apple Valsa Canker

The previous studies in our laboratory have shown that Bacillus velezensis strain BV2007 exhibits a significant biocontrol effect against apple tree canker. In this study, the complete genomic sequence and annotation information of the strain were obtained by using PacBio Revio p...

Genome-Wide Characterization of Nuclear Factor Y (NF-Y) Transcription Factors in Allohexaploid Oat

Nuclear factor Y (NF-Y) constitutes a pivotal transcription factor family that modulates plant growth and development as well as abiotic stress responses. Oat (Avena sativa L.) is an economically vital cereal crop and a major livestock forage globally. Nevertheless, the NF-Y gene...

Partial soil wetting and drying regulate root water uptake in deep-rooted apple orchard

The drought-prone Chinese Loess Plateau (CLP) apple trees have roots that extend deep into the soil. Even when the upper soil layers (0–10 m) are above the permanent wilting point, deep (>10 m) root water uptake (RWU) occurs; the reasons for the deep RWU remain unknown. This stud...

Targeting CXCR2 in Nociceptive Sensory Neurons Offers Novel Therapeutic Potentials for Postoperative Pain

Postoperative pain impairs patients' quality of life. Mechanisms underlying postoperative pain remain incompletely understood. We investigated postoperative pain in a mouse model of skin plus deep tissue incision (INC). We found Cxcl5 was among the top upregulated genes in incisi...

Genomic and genetic dissection underlying seedling drought resilience in oats

Drought threatens global crop yields, and common oat, a vital nutritional source for food and feed, is particularly constrained in the semi‑arid regions where it is widely cultivated. Here, we report two high-quality genome assemblies for drought-resilient (Borris37) and drought-...

E3 Ubiquitin LigasePdSINA2D in Populus deltoides Positively Regulates ABA-Dependent StressTolerance through Ubiquitination of FREE1 in Poplar

Abstract Populus deltoides “Shalinyang” (PdS) displays reduced tolerance to abiotic stresses. SINA (seven in absentia) proteins, a subtype of E3 ubiquitin ligases, play crucial roles in regulating plant growth and responses to abiotic stresses. However, the characteristics and po...

HearT : Enabling Acoustic Sensing of Ingested-Liquid Temperature via Hydrodynamic Vibration Modeling

Drinking water temperature is linked to gastrointestinal diseases such as gastroesophageal reflux disease, esophageal cancer, and functional dyspepsia. This paper presents HearT , a headphone-deployable system that leverages fluid dynamics–based vibration modeling to infer the te...

Phosphonic AcidMolecular Regulation of Frenkel Defectsfor Suppressing Nonradiative Recombination in FAPbI3 Perovskites

Abstract Surface Frenkel defects are an important source of nonradiative carrier losses in formamidinium lead iodide (FAPbI3) perovskites; however, the microscopic mechanisms by which molecular geometry regulates defect-mediated excited-state dynamics remain poorly understood. He...

Single-cell transcriptomics uncovers HPV-driven immune evasion and establishes a TAB2-based prognostic signature in cervical cancer

Background Persistent human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is a key driver in cervical cancer, yet the molecular mechanisms linking HPV to immune escape remain incompletely understood. Methods We integrated single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), bulk transcriptome, and clinical...

New Energy Vehicles and Charging and Battery-Swapping Infrastructure: Development Patterns, Policy Drivers, and the Evolution of Vehicle–Grid Interaction

The rapid expansion of electric mobility is reshaping both transport infrastructure and power-system operation. This narrative and critical review examines the connected evolution of new energy vehicle (NEV) markets, charging and battery-swapping infrastructure, policy mechanisms...

Lithium Acetylacetonate Mediated Multidimensional Optimization for Reversible Zn Anodes

ABSTRACT Aqueous zinc‐ion batteries (AZIBs) are promising for large‐scale energy storage owing to their high safety, yet their practical application is hindered by uncontrollable zinc dendrite growth, interfacial side reactions, and poor deposition reversibility of zinc anodes. H...

Light and Acid‐Base Dual‐Regulated Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization With ppb Concentrations of Zwitterionic Photocatalysts

ABSTRACT Here, we introduce highly efficient, and acid/base‐responsive zwitterionic photocatalysts (PC) for photoinduced atom transfer radical polymerization (photoATRP). The electron‐withdrawing methylpyridinium substituent enhances the acidity of benzimidazole/naphthoimidazole,...
