Applied current induced degradation of delamination strength of coated conductors and microscopic mechanism revelation

Abstract Coated conductors in superconducting coils experience transverse stresses caused by thermal stress and large electromechanical forces during operation, which risk the coated conductors’ delamination due to their multilayer structure. However, the mechanical–electrical co...

Tyrosinase-Catalyzed Tyr–Aniline Coupling Enables Peptide Editing, Macrocyclization, and Phage-Display-Based Selection

Abstract Tyrosine-selective peptide modification provides a valuable route to late-stage diversification, yet current methods remain largely limited to site-specific labeling and rarely extend to macrocyclization or ligand discovery within a unified platform. Here, we report a ty...

Paeoniflorin Attenuates Radiation-Induced Brain Injury Associated with Modulation of Microglial Polarization and ERK/MAPK Signaling

Abstract Background: Radiation-induced brain injury (RIBI) is a common side effect of cranial radiotherapy that severely impairs patients’ neurological function and quality of life. Currently, effective and safe remedies for RIBI remain limited. Paeoniflorin (PF), a key component...

Capturing Spatial Covariance for Efficient Multipolar Electrostatic Parameterization in DNA via Multioutput Learning

Abstract In DNA force field development, introducing high-rank atomic multipole moments (AMMs) to describe electron cloud anisotropy improves the accuracy of electrostatic energy calculations. However, high-rank AMMs have many components. Existing machine learning methods usually...

Two-dimensional partial-slip contact analysis for a nano-flat punch accounting for surface effects

This work investigates a Cattaneo–Mindlin partial-slip contact model considering surface effects based on energy density theory, loaded by a two-dimensional rigid flat punch bonded to a homogeneous elastic half-space. A partial-slip contact model is established based on the Airy...

Regulatory Mechanisms Underlying Flavonoid-Mediated Restructuring of the Rhizosphere Microbiome in Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) Under Salt Stress

This study employed two Medicago sativa L. varieties with contrasting salt tolerance—Zangmu No.1 (ZM1, salt-tolerant) and Zangmu No.2 (ZM2, salt-sensitive)—to investigate root exudate composition, rhizosphere microbiome assembly, and their potential correlations under 0 mM, 100 m...

Unveiling the role of AI tools in language learning: a bibliometric study

Artificial intelligence (AI) tools increasingly mediate language teaching, learning, feedback, and interaction. This study uses bibliometric analysis to map the development, intellectual structure, and emerging themes of research on AI tools in language learning. The dataset comp...

Dynamic Carbon Stock Mapping Reveals a Shift from Rapid Accumulation to Decelerating Carbon Growth After Ecological Restoration on the Loess Plateau

Large-scale ecological restoration has greatly boosted carbon sequestration across China’s Loess Plateau, yet the long-term sustainability of restoration-fueled carbon growth remains unclear. This study constructs a dynamic carbon stock mapping framework integrating GEDI LiDAR, L...

Phenyl- O -β- d -ribofuranoside Derivatives from the Plant Endophytic Fungus Neofusicoccum sp. LZUC-S1 and Their Herbicidal Activity

Abstract Seven novel phenyl-O-β-d-ribofuranoside derivatives (1–7), along with four known naphthalenones (8–11), were isolated from the endophytic fungus Neofusicoccum sp. LZUC-S1 using a bioactivity-guided isolation. Their chemical structures were elucidated through an integrate...

Solar Evaporation-Induced Mass-Transfer Enhancement in a Biomass-Derived Dual-Network Aerogel for Selective Enrichment of Rare-Earth Ions

Abstract Low-concentration rare-earth industrial wastewater contains low target-ion concentrations and high concentrations of coexisting salts, which limit mass transfer in conventional static adsorption. A biomass-derived dual-network photothermal aerogel (CB@DCP) was developed,...
