Unraveling the Mechanism for Phonon Based Heat Transport in Metal‐Organic Frameworks

ABSTRACT Heat transport is a crucial process for many applications of metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs), including gas adsorption, catalysis, and bio‐encapsulation. A prerequisite for designing MOFs with optimal thermal conductivities is developing a profound understanding of the u...

Faithful Global Convergence for the Rescaled Consensus–Based Optimization

Abstract. We analyze the consensus-based optimization algorithm with a consensus point rescaled by a fixed parameter [Formula: see text]. Under minimal assumptions on the objective function and the initial data, we establish its unconditional convergence to the global minimizer....

Inducing Room Temperature Ferromagnetism in Phyllosilicates via Iron Implantation

Abstract The modulation of intrinsic two-dimensional (2D) ferromagnetism has attracted significant attention due to its potential applications in spintronics and magnetic field sensing. However, the limited availability of intrinsically magnetic 2D materials has driven the explor...

Exceptional points, lasing, and coherent perfect absorption in Floquet scattering systems

Abstract Periodically time-varying media, known as photonic time crystals (PTCs), provide a promising platform for observing unconventional wave phenomena. We analyze the scattering of electromagnetic waves from spatially finite PTCs using the multispectral Floquet scattering mat...

Mechanochemistry: From Classical Grinding to Modern and Scalable Process Technologies

Mechanochemistry, the study of how mechanical energy drives chemical transformations, has rapidly evolved into a powerful and influential discipline at the intersection of chemistry and materials science. This article provides an integrated and critical overview of recent advance...

Data-driven construction of an imine reductase library capable of broad-scope reductive amination at equimolar substrate concentrations

Reductive amination catalysed by imine reductases and reductive aminases has emerged as a powerful method for the asymmetric synthesis of chiral amines, yet the generality and practical limitations of these enzymes remain poorly understood. Here, we combine large-scale, iterative...

Reorganization of Innate Immune Cell Lipid Profiles by Bioinspired Meroterpenoids to Limit Inflammation

Lipidomics-guided screening of unexplored natural product chemical space provides access to small molecules that globally reprogram cellular lipid profiles. Here, we show that the meroterpenoid cyclosmenospongine from Spongia sp. reshapes immune cell lipidomes, shifting them from...

Content and composition of inorganic X-ray amorphous materials in temperate climate soils determined by the Rietveld method

Inorganic X-ray amorphous materials (iXAMs) are reactive soil components, including nanocrystalline minerals and mineraloids, often overlooked by mineralogical analyses. We evaluated their abundance and composition in temperate climate soils (Cambisol, Podzol, Chernozem, and Stag...

Scale-Up of Mechanochemical Amidation in AgitatorBead Mills: From Laboratory to Commercial Scale

Abstract Bead mills are widely used in industry for particle size reduction across diverse applications; however, their use as reactors for mechanochemical synthesis has largely remained limited to laboratory studies, with no prior demonstration at a manufacturing-relevant scale....

Paleozoic Tectonic Transition from Arc–Continent Collision to Post-Orogenic Extension in the East Kunlun Orogen: Constraints from Metamorphic Events

Abstract The tectonic evolution of the trench–arc–back-–arc basin system—encompassing back-arc spreading, subduction, basin closure, and the subsequent transition from arc–continent collision to post-collisional extension—represents a fundamental process in the evolution of the P...
