ATAN: A hybrid graph neural network framework for accelerating aging-aware timing analysis

CMOS device aging critically challenges digital circuit design, where conventional timing analysis struggles with the large number of input conditions, standard cells, and process corners. This work proposes ATAN, a novel framework for accelerating aging-aware timing analysis, em...

Enzyme-Mimetic Tri-Site Catalyst Enables High-Performance Electrochemical Urea Synthesis

Abstract Electrochemical urea synthesis from CO2 and NO3– offers a low-energy, green alternative to the traditional Bosch–Meiser route. However, mismatched adsorption of C/N intermediates, complex proton-coupled electron transfer, and high C–N coupling barrier on conventional sin...

Multispecies interfacial regulation via keratin-engineered separators for dendrite-free aqueous zinc metal anodes

Aqueous zinc-ion batteries hold great promise for stationary energy storage and personal electronics, yet their practical application is hindered by uncontrolled Zn dendrite growth and parasitic reactions. Herein, a sustainable keratin-functionalized glass-fiber separator (GF@WK)...

Coordinated Interfacial Electron Transfer and Metabolic Coupling Drive Acetate Electrosynthesis in a Synthetic Microbial Consortium

Abstract Microbial consortia in microbial electrosynthesis (MES) can couple cathodic electron utilization with CO2 fixation through interspecies electron transfer and metabolite cross-feeding. However, how defined functional members coordinate interfacial electron input with down...

Defect–regulated Yb–doped WO3 nanoparticles for enhanced H2S sensing

Yb–doped WO 3 nanoparticles with Yb doping ratios of 0.3, 0.5, and 0.8 at% were synthesized by a one-step hydrothermal method followed by calcination. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analyses suggested that Yb incorporation perturbed the WO 3 la...

Generative AI ‐Supported Creative Writing Among Primary School Students: A Study of Creative Writing Performance, Writing Self‐Efficacy, and Flow State

ABSTRACT Background The integration of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) into creative writing is a growing trend. However, few studies have examined primary school students' interactions with GenAI alongside their writing experiences and resulting writing products. Obje...

Optimization of Ultrasound and Acid Assisted Pretreatment Combined with Drying to Improve Resistant Starch, Structural Characteristics, and Bioactive Functionality of Green Banana Flour

Abstract This study optimized combined ultrasound and acid pretreatments and drying to regulate starch digestibility, structural organization, and bioactive functionality of green banana flour (GBF). Citric acid, sodium metabisulfite, and ultrasound were optimized using central c...

Sustained Fe3+/Fe2+ Cycling Enables Photochemical Defluorination of Perfluoroalkyl Carboxylic Acids via Ligand-to-Metal Charge Transfer

Abstract Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are widespread persistent pollutants that threaten environmental and human health. Although Fe3+-mediated ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) has been shown to promote PFAS photochemical defluorination, existing systems rely...

DGC-CSWin: Dynamic Global Context-Enhanced CSWin for Fine-Grained Food Image Recognition

Fine-grained food-image recognition is difficult because visually similar dishes can differ only in small ingredient or texture cues, while images of the same dish vary in plating, viewpoint, illumination, and background. We propose Dynamic Global Context-enhanced CSWin (DGC-CSWi...

Triangulation-sensitivity-guided view selection for structure from motion

Structure from Motion (SfM) is a core technique for three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction and supports artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled engineering applications, including industrial measurement and robotic navigation. Traditional view-selection strategies mainly rely on imag...

Preparation and in vitro evaluation of amphotericin B-chondroitin sulfate polymer prodrug

Amphotericin B (AmB) remains the gold-standard antifungal agent, yet its clinical utility is severely limited by dose-dependent hemolytic and nephrotoxic side effects arising from its aggregation-prone nature and non-selective membrane binding. To address this challenge, we devel...

Fermented Pomegranate Juice with Lactiplantibacillus plantarum CCFM1286 Attenuates Brain Aging in Association with PINK1/Parkin Activation
