Borophosphate-based second-order nonlinear optical materials: Advances in structural diversity and optical performance

Nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals serve as essential components in advanced laser technology. With the rapid advancement of laser technologies, NLO crystals operating in the deep-ultraviolet (DUV, <200 nm) and ultraviolet (UV, 200–400 nm) spectral regions have become increasingly...

Partnership and Fertility Trajectories of Immigrant Women Across the Migration Process to Spain: A Comparison by Country of Origin

ABSTRACT Although many studies examine family patterns among immigrants and how these differ from those in the native population, a migration‐focused perspective investigating how partnerships and childbearing trajectories intersect throughout the migration process remains scarce...

Perfluorodecanoic acid (PFDA) exposure, through stabilizing HIF-1α to induce VEGF/VEGFR2 autocrine signaling, promotes colorectal cancer cell proliferation

Perfluorodecanoic acid (PFDA) is a persistent organic pollutant widely present in the environment and resistant todegradation. In recent years, due to its extensive use in industrial production and consumer products, PFDA continuously accumulates in organisms and has become a glo...

Surface Oxidation and Defect Formation Under Five Photoaging Regimes Enhance Cd2+ and Pb2+ Adsorption by Polyethylene and Polyvinyl Chloride Microplastics

Photoaging alters polymer surface chemistry and can thereby regulate the interfacial binding of metal ions by microplastics. In this study, polyethylene (PE) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) microplastics were exposed for three weeks to five regimes comprising UV-air, UV-ultrapure wa...

An Efficient Biological Codon Recognition Reservoir Computing System Based on Low‐Energy Epitaxial Hf 0.52 Zr 0.48 O 2 Ferroelectric Memristors

ABSTRACT The large demand for information processing has stimulated interest in low‐power and fast‐storage hafnium‐based ferroelectric memristors because of their ability to precisely control the state of the resistor by polarization flip‐flop without the need for electroforming....

Three decades of microcystin-LR removal in aquatic environments: physical, chemical and biological strategies for environmental detoxification

Abstract Microcystin-LR (MC-LR) contamination from cyanobacterial blooms poses a persistent threat to aquatic ecosystems and human health, necessitating effective removal technologies. This study used visualization analyses to examine global research on MC-LR removal in aquatic e...

Near‐Surface Reconstruction of Sb 2 Se 3 Absorber for Defect‐Tolerant Solar Cells with Modified Surface Energetics

ABSTRACT Deep‐level defects in the bulk and near‐surface regions of Sb 2 Se 3 absorbers constitute important non‐radiative recombination pathways that limit photovoltaic performance. Here, we develop a near‐surface reconstruction strategy based on a mild solution‐processed sulfur...

Hydrochemistry and modeling nitrate concentration in farmland groundwater under different hydrological seasons by integrating hybrid quantum-classical ML, virtual sample generation and AlphaEarth Foundation

Abstract. Precise seasonal prediction of groundwater nitrate concentrations in intensive agricultural areas faces challenges such as data sparsity, strong spatiotemporal heterogeneity, and complex hydro-biogeochemical processes. To address these issues, this study proposes an int...

Integrating Fluorescence from Self-Trapped Excitons and Phosphorescence in Zero-Dimensional Metal Halides for Time-Resolved Dynamic Information Encryption

Multimodal luminescent materials integrating spectral and temporal information are highly desirable for dynamic optical information encoding. However, constructing such systems often requires complicated molecular design or multiple synthetic steps. Herein, we report a simple Sb-...

Neutron Total Scattering Investigation of the Dissolution Mechanism of Chitotriose in Alkali/Urea Aqueous Solutions

Abstract Despite the promise of alkali/urea aqueous solutions as green solvents, the atomistic-scale mechanism of chitin dissolution remains elusive. In contrast to the ability to dissolve cellulose, the order of alkali effectiveness for dissolving chitin is potassium hydroxide (...

Verifying Interrupt-driven Programs Efficiently via Heuristic and Reduced Partial-order Constraints

Interrupt-driven programs are extensively utilized in embedded systems for safety-critical domains. However, uncertain interleaving executions of enabled tasks with different priorities often lead to concurrency defects. In this context, assertion violation detection is a fundame...

Trace Al/Rb regulation stabilizes Cu-Fe5C2 active sites for ambient-pressure photothermal CO2 hydrogenation to C2-C4 olefin

Photothermal hydrogenation of CO2 offers a solar-driven route to multicarbon hydrocarbons, but controlling carbide formation and maintaining reconstructed active sites remain challenging for iron-based catalysts. Here, we develop a trace Al/Rb co-promoted CuFe2O4 catalyst that en...

The relationship between benefit finding and fear of progression in patients with chronic heart failure: Mediating role of coping style and moderating role of hospitalization frequency

This cross-sectional study investigated the moderated mediating roles of coping style and hospitalization frequency in the benefit finding–fear of progression relationship among 332 heart failure patients. Findings suggested that resignation coping mediated the impact of benefit...

Effects of cold exposure on energy metabolism and oxidative stress in two plateau rodents

Abstract Low temperature is a major environmental constraint for animals inhabiting cold plateau regions because it increases thermoregulatory energy demand and can disrupt oxidative balance. We examined physiological responses of two sympatric plateau rodents, Eothenomys miletus...

Symbiont‐Induced HSP83 Establishes Two‐Tiered Control of Antifungal Immunity in an Invasive Beetle–Fungus Complex

ABSTRACT Hosts must distinguish mutualistic symbionts from antagonists while avoiding harmful immune overactivation, yet the mechanisms maintaining this balance remain unclear. This challenge is acute during biological invasions, where exposure to novel microbial communities can...
