Modeling Nonlinear and Time-Varying Price Discovery: A Novel Granger Causality Framework Based on Distributional Forecasting

The price-leadership relationship between stock index futures and spot markets is crucial for assessing market efficiency and implementing risk management. Traditional Granger causality tests based on conditional methods cannot capture their nonlinear and time-varying characteris...

Electron-Reservoir Multiple Bond in RhC– for Dinitrogen Cleavage

Abstract Multiple bonds involving the main-group element represent a prominent class of interactions whose formation and cleavage involve substantial electron redistribution, yet its functional role in redox processes remains unexplored. Herein, we identify a triple-bond characte...

A novel heterogeneous coupled neuron network and its application in mechanical fault feature enhancement

In practical engineering, fault characteristic signals are often overwhelmed by strong background noise and complex working conditions, which poses a serious challenge for timely detection and accurate identification of faults. Therefore, a novel heterogeneous coupled neuron netw...

Operando spatiotemporal reconstruction of surface thermo-mechanical fields in a lithium-ion pouch cell using a quasi-distributed fiber Bragg grating sensor network

Lithium-ion batteries exhibit complex thermo-mechanical behavior during operation, and the spatiotemporal evolution of temperature and strain is closely related to performance degradation and structural safety. However, existing sensing methods remain limited in achieving high-pr...

Analysis of lubrication and dynamic characteristics of spur gear considering angular misalignment error

Angular misalignment error is a common issue in gear transmission systems, significantly altering mesh characteristics and structural integrity. While numerous studies have investigated the contact mechanics and dynamic responses induced by these errors, their coupled influence o...

γ-Selective Deuteration of Unactivated C(sp3)–H Bonds of Aliphatic Amines via Pd Catalysis in D2O

Abstract Selective γ-deuteration of unactivated C(sp3)–H bonds in aliphatic amines is achieved using D2O as the sole deuterium source via Pd catalysis with 3-formyl-2-pyridone as a transient directing group. The reaction proceeds in aqueous medium without acidic or fluorinated co...

Photothermal‐Modulated Electrohydrodynamic Jet Printing of Flexible and Recyclable Photocatalytic Devices for Visible‐Light‐Driven Water Purification

ABSTRACT Powder‐based heterojunction photocatalysts suffer from aggregation, difficult recovery, and secondary pollution, limiting their practical applications in water remediation. Here, we develop a photothermal‐modulated electrohydrodynamic jet printing (PME‐Jet) strategy assi...

Dynamic Formation and Protective Role of 0D Carbon Dots During High‐Temperature Catalytic Graphitization

ABSTRACT Phenolic resin (PR) has been extensively employed as an ablative thermal protection material in aerospace applications. While catalytic graphitization has been shown to enhance ablative resistance, the mechanism has remained unclear due to the contradiction between enhan...

Kinetic Regulation of Intercalation-Assisted Crystallization in Hybrid Evaporation–Solution Perovskite Solar Cells

Abstract Hybrid evaporation–solution processing offers a promising route for high-efficiency perovskite solar cells; however, the dense lead iodide (PbI2) framework leads to competing intercalation and dissolution–recrystallization pathways, resulting in incomplete conversion and...
