Methane bursts during spring thaw in the permafrost region of Northeast China

Spring thaw in permafrost regions is associated with episodic bursts in atmospheric methane concentration. In this study, these methane bursts were investigated across different permafrost types in Northeast China. MODIS data and Sentinel-5P methane observations were used to deri...

Numerical Investigation of Suspension Heating for Solid Particles

With the global energy transition and large-scale renewable integration, thermal power units are shifting from base-load to peak-shaving roles, but deep peak shaving may cause combustion instability and increased emissions. High-temperature solid-particle thermal storage offers a...

Laser-driven high-speed processing of perovskite solar cells: Emerging technologies and challenges

Laser processing, as a non-contact, precise, and scalable technique, is playing an increasingly key role in advancing the fabrication of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). This review provides a critical, systematic overview of emerging laser technologies for PSCs, moving beyond simp...

Gradual Concentration‐Regulated Entanglement Enables Tough and Strong Sustainable Bioplastics

ABSTRACT Regulating polymer‐chain entanglement provides a powerful route to high‐performance sustainable bioplastics. However, achieving dense entanglement in ultrahigh‐molecular‐weight polymers remains difficult because long chain lengths and strong intramolecular interactions s...

Ni─Nb Synergistic Regulation in RuO 2 Nanocrystals Enables Efficient and Stable Acidic Water Oxidation

The activity‐stability trade‐off of RuO 2 ‐based catalysts in the acidic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) remains a major bottleneck for proton exchange membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE). Herein, a synergistic bimetallic codoping strategy was proposed to harness the complementar...

VQ-Transformer: A deep learning-driven model for transcription factor sequence identification

Background Transcription factors are key proteins that regulate gene expression, and their accurate identification is important for elucidating the mechanisms of life activities. Traditional methods for identifying transcription factor sequences rely on manually designed features...

Gene-brain-behavior links revealing generative neurophysiological subtypes of suicide-related dysconnectivity in bipolar depression

Suicidal thoughts and behaviors (STBs) in bipolar depression are heterogeneous, but biologically coherent subtypes remain poorly defined. We aimed to identify neurophysiological subtypes of suicide-related dysconnectivity in bipolar depression and examine their gene-brain-behavio...

Recent Synthetic Approaches and Future Prospects of Trifluoroacetyl Compounds

The incorporation of a trifluoroacetyl group into drug candidates has emerged as an indispensable strategy in modern pharmaceutical research. In contrast to cumbersome indirect methods, direct trifluoroacetylation using readily available reagents provides a more straightforward r...

Polyzwitterion grafted onto PET microfiltration membrane via surface-initiated ATRP for enhanced antifouling performance

To address the challenges of membrane fouling, we present a surface modification strategy that combines the high efficiency of surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP) with the excellent antifouling properties of zwitterionic polymers. A poly(St- co -VBC)...

“Tripartite-interlocking Strategy” advances the scale-up implementation of single-atom catalysts for energy and environmental engineering

Single-atom catalysts (SACs) hold transformative prospect for energy conversion and environmental remediation. However, their translation from laboratory research to engineering application is bottlenecked by severe challenges. In response, this review proposes a “tripartite-inte...

How is self-defeating humor associated with perceptions of the physical self? A large-sample resting-state fMRI study

Self-defeating humor (SDH), characterized by self-ridicule to gain social approval, has been consistently linked to the body-image disturbance. However, its neural underpinnings remain poorly understood. The present study investigated the neural mechanisms linking SDH to negative...

Metabolic reprogramming and polarization of microglia in cerebral ischemia: the roles of mitochondria and inflammasomes

Mitochondrial dysfunction, metabolic reprogramming, and NLRP3 inflammasome activation have been widely studied in post-ischemic microglia. However, a systems-level understanding of how these three processes interact as a spatiotemporal regulatory network is lacking. Furthermore,...

Dynamics of emotion-transition networks link brain network variability and affective symptoms

Emotion dynamics are closely linked to psychological health. Although inertia and variability have been linked to affective symptoms, relatively few studies have examined how emotional states are structurally organized and transition from one state to another. Using ecological mo...

Contact-resistance controlled electrical response of conductive-proppant-supported coal fractures for coalbed methane reservoir monitoring

Conductive-proppant-assisted electrical monitoring provided a potential method for identifying the propped state of hydraulic fractures in coalbed methane reservoirs. To reduce the interference caused by natural coal heterogeneity, coal-like analog materials were prepared from co...

Insula Grey Matter Volume Moderates the Relationship Between Emotional Intelligence and Domain‐Specific Creativity

ABSTRACT Emotional intelligence (EI) is linked to enhanced cognitive and social functioning, but its neurostructural correlates and relationship with domain‐specific creative achievement remain poorly understood. This study examined 266 young adults using the Emotional Intelligen...

Divergent Single‐Oxygen Transmutation of Furans

ABSTRACT Despite the prevalence of furans in organic chemistry, their direct conversion into diverse heterocycles via oxygen transmutation remains a formidable challenge. This limitation is primarily attributed to the robust endocyclic C—O bonds, its aromaticity, and the lack of...

Balloon guide catheter outcomes by occlusion site in the randomized PROTECT-MT trial

Background Balloon guide catheters (BGCs) are used during endovascular thrombectomy, but whether their effect varies by occlusion site is uncertain. We evaluated effect modification by baseline occlusion site in the PROTECT-MT trial. Methods This exploratory secondary analysis of...
