How do multidimensional land use conflicts shape rural multifunctionality? An empirical study of the Yangtze River Delta from a conflict–coordination perspective

In the context of urban–rural integration, how multidimensional land use conflict (LUC) differentially shapes rural multifunctionality is a key question for sustainable rural development. Existing studies, however, have largely treated the two independently, with limited systemat...

Electronic tuning of dynamic imine bonds enables programmable pore gating in metal–organic frameworks

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are promising host matrices for molecular encapsulation, yet their application is often limited by fixed pore apertures that exclude guest molecules larger than the pore openings. Herein, we overcome this limitation by electronic tuning of dynamic...

Baptism and Anabaptism: Reconsidering Thomas Müntzer’s Identity in the Reformation

Baptism and the Eucharist were the two sacraments preserved by the Reformation, and divergent interpretations of them served as a key marker for differentiating the various Protestant confessions and the radical movements alike. This same criterion also shaped historians’ classif...

Mortise‐and‐Tenon Molecular Joint Covalent Organic Frameworks With Tunable Topology for Photothermal‐Catalytic Cross‐Dehydrogenative Coupling

ABSTRACT The controllable regulation of dimensionality and interpenetration in covalent organic frameworks (COFs) is crucial for optimizing photocatalytic performance, yet the translation of 3D COFs from structural construction to functional customization remains challenging. Her...

Multi-strategy Engineering of a Glycosyltransferase for More Sustainable and Efficient Biosynthesis of Mogroside IE

Abstract Mogroside IE is a valuable natural sweetener precursor, but its industrial production is hampered by inefficient plant extraction and nongreen chemical synthesis. Herein, we report a computational-experimental engineering strategy that transformed a putative glycosyltran...

Enriching Locally the Reactive Intermediates of Ammonium Nitrate via Simple Pore-Size Modulation for Robust NH3–SCR Denitration

Abstract Porous materials are extensively utilized in the catalytic elimination of environmental pollutants. However, the intrinsic role of pore size in modulating catalytic performance remains poorly understood. Herein, we report that the reactivity of ammonium nitrate (AN), a c...

Integrative Single-Cell Proteomics and Network Analysis Identifies DHX9 as a Key Regulator of Oocyte Maturation and a Therapeutic Target for Oocyte Developmental Arrest

Abstract Oocyte developmental arrest at the germinal vesicle (GV) or metaphase I (MI) stage is a major cause of infertility, yet its molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here, we performed ultradeep single-cell proteomics on 8 human oocytes (4 GV-stage and 4 MI-stage) a...

Bias-reconfigurable barrier photodetectors for integrated broadband sensing and neuromorphic vision

Intelligent vision systems demand photodetectors with reconfigurable response to support diverse modalities like high-speed sensing and neuromorphic processing. Here we show a bias-reconfigurable barrier photodetector that enables continuous modulation of response time across 7 o...

A high-resolution stalagmite record of hydrological drought in northern China around 6.6 ka BP

The Holocene Climatic Optimum was punctuated by significant decadal-to centennial-scale climate variability, despite its overall warm and humid conditions. However, the spatiotemporal patterns and underlying dynamics of these fluctuations, particularly in the northern fringe of t...

Variable-Dimension Differential Evolution for Ring-Count-Optimized Sparse Concentric Ring Array Synthesis

This communication proposes a variable-dimension differential evolution (VDDE) algorithm for synthesizing uniform amplitude sparse concentric ring arrays (CRAs) with minimized peak sidelobe level (PSL). Different from conventional fixed-ring-count methods, the VDDE simultaneously...

A Weakly Supervised Slender Object Detection Network for Fishing Rods in UAV Inspection Images

The timely detection of fishing activities supports the protection of water resources and aids law enforcement in fishing ban and shoreline inspection scenarios. Fishing rods are highly discriminative objects for identifying such activities; however, their slender shapes and vary...

Tandem Ru–Tm Sites on MoS 2 Tune Entropy–Enthalpy Tradeoff for Enhanced Alkaline Hydrogen Evolution

ABSTRACT Rare earth (RE) regulation has emerged as an effective strategy for improving hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), but RE kinetic behaviors are widely discussed from an adsorption energy perspective, with neglectful apparent activation energy ( E a ) and entropy (Δ ‡ S ) c...

Retracing Nanjing in the Tang dynasty through A GIS-based study of toponyms in contemporary poems

Previous scholars, drawing mainly on official historical sources, have argued that Nanjing (formerly Jiankang, the capital of the Six Dynasties) was completely destroyed with the defeat of the Chen Dynasty by the Sui Dynasty in 589 and remained desolate throughout the succeeding...

Lower soil organic carbon mineralization and temperature sensitivity along a freeze-thaw erosion gradient in permafrost soils

Freeze-thaw erosion (FTE) is widespread in permafrost regions, yet its effects on soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics remain unclear. Here, we investigated SOC fractions, physicochemical properties, microbial biomass and community composition, SOC-degradation functional genes, SOC...

Physics-informed neural network for modeling coupled fluid flow and heat transport in a geothermal doublet system

Geothermal energy is an important renewable energy resource, and geothermal doublet systems are widely used for its sustainable exploitation. Accurate simulation of coupled fluid-flow and heat-transfer processes in geothermal doublet systems provides an important basis for assess...

Exploring the effectiveness of GenAI feedback in facilitating EFL translation task performance

Despite the growing potential of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) to transform language education, empirical evidence on the effectiveness of GenAI feedback in facilitating English as a foreign language (EFL) translation task performance remains limited. Informed by a s...

Non‐Coding Transcripts From Diversified Members of IgLec Family Protect Antiviral Effectors From Viral miRNA

ABSTRACT Immune gene families frequently produce numerous non‐coding transcripts, yet their biological functions remain largely unexplored. Here, using the arthropod immunoglobulin domain‐containing lectin ( IgLec ) family as a paradigm, we provide evidence that this complexity m...

Full-process control enables emissions trading to promote synergistic reductions in carbon emissions and pollution in China

This study examines the entire process of carbon and pollution reduction and assesses the effects of the emissions trading scheme (ETS) on the integrated outcomes of carbon and pollution reduction. The findings indicate that the introduction of the ETS not only leads to a decreas...

Dynamic Metal–Organic Tweezer Enables High-Resolution Nanopore Analysis of Steroid Hormones

Abstract The utilization of host–guest chemistry stands as a classic strategy in nanopore technology to refine detection capabilities. However, the current efforts are limited to natural supramolecular hosts with rigid and toroidal structures (e.g., cyclodextrin, cucurbituril), w...

Inhibition of neuronal DICER–miR-34a/346 signaling attenuates amyloid pathology in 5×FAD mice

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are critical regulators of genes underlying Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathogenesis, yet the role of neuronal DICER, a key ribonuclease essential for miRNA maturation, remains unclear. While biochemical analysis of human postmortem cortical tissues revealed upreg...
