Bionic Flexible Wrinkled Strain Sensors With Water‑Accelerated Self‐healing Capability for Underwater Detection and Motion Interaction

Developing flexible sensors capable of long-term, high-sensitivity monitoring for flow fields and motion interactions is crucial for advancing unmanned underwater operations. However, flexible sensors always face challenges in achieving underwater superior self-healing performanc...

Exosomes mediate intercellular transmission of Tembusu virus via the NS4A-Rab27a axis

Abstract Accumulating data support the role of exosomes from virus-infected cells (especially RNA viruses) in the selective encapsulation of viral proteins, genomic material, and even whole virions, thereby mediating intercellular communication events and contributing to viral tr...

Biobased Fibrous Films Enabling Synergistic Thermal Conduction and Radiative Cooling for Personal Thermal Management

Abstract Personal thermal management materials are increasingly in demand under intensifying outdoor heat exposure and global warming. However, simultaneously achieving efficient radiative cooling, rapid thermal conduction, mechanical flexibility, and sustainability within a simp...

CFD Analysis of Drag and Internal Volume Tradeoffs in a Compact AUV with a Myring Forebody and Flat Stern

Low-slenderness-ratio, flat-ended autonomous underwater vehicles must balance hydrodynamic resistance against internal volume retention, yet classical slender-body criteria do not fully represent their coupled forebody wake response. A generalized Myring forebody was assessed for...

Advancing Energy Efficiency in Smart Windows via Dual‐Responsive Electro‐Thermochromism

ABSTRACT Implementing dynamic smart windows is imperative toward the construction of net‐zero buildings. However, the prevailing ion (de‐)embedding‐based electrochromic (EC) or thermosensitive hydrogel‐based thermochromic (TC) windows fail to achieve large optical modulation acro...

Unraveling the Ionic Adsorption and Migration Mechanism of Inverse Opal Capacitive Deionization Electrode

ABSTRACT Developing advanced capacitive deionization electrodes for desalination requires the concurrent enhancement of thermodynamic and kinetic properties. Despite extensive research on improving thermodynamic features represented by adsorption capacity, the investigation on th...

Flexural–Torsional Buckling Behavior of FGP Curved Beams Based on a Modified Variational Method

Abstract This study presents a modified variational modeling method for the flexural–torsional buckling of functionally graded porous (FGP) curved beams. Unlike conventional methods that rely on strictly admissible functions, the proposed framework accommodates arbitrary orthogon...

Antarctic Circumpolar Current creates a boundary limiting the meridional dispersal of bacteria in the Southern Ocean

Impact statement As the world's largest ocean current in terms of volume transport, the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) significantly affects the movement of heat and water in the Southern Ocean. However, the impact of the ACC on the biogeographic distribution of marine bacte...

Axial Motion Prior-Guided Robust Detection of Surface Defects in Hoist Wire Ropes

Reliable detection of surface defects in hoist wire ropes is essential for the safe operation of hoisting systems. Because of the stranded rope structure, early broken wires and local scars often appear as weak, small-scale features embedded in repetitive textures. Axial rope mot...

Preparation and Characterization of Composite Phase Change Materials Based on Enhanced Thermal Conductivity of Silicon Carbide–Carbon Nanotubes

A novel composite phase change material (CPCM) was developed by combining carbonized melamine foam (CMF) with chemically bonded silicon carbide–carbon nanotubes (SiC–CNTs) hybrid network. CMF is prepared through the carbonization process, and a graphitized layer is formed on the...

Anchoring Performance of FRP Bar Connectors for Alkali-Activated Lightweight Aggregate Concrete Wall Panels in a Wet–Hot Acid Rain Environment

Abstract This study investigated the bond behavior of basalt fiber–reinforced polymer bars (BFRP) and glass fiber–reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars embedded in alkali-activated ceramsite concrete using direct pull-out tests on 150-mm cubic specimens. The tests were conducted under b...

Nanotoxicity of Ultrasmall Silver Nanoclusters to Cyanobacteria

Cyanobacteria are essential primary producers in aquatic ecosystems. Silver nanoclusters (Ag NCs) are emerging ultrasmall nanomaterials with broad applications; however, they inevitably enter aquatic environments. This study investigated the nanotoxicity of Ag NCs on model cyanob...

CADKT: A Cognitive-Affective Dual-Graph Contrastive Framework for Dynamic Affect-Aware Knowledge Tracing

Knowledge tracing (KT) predicts students’ future performance by modeling their knowledge mastery from historical learning interactions. Although recent deep learning-based KT models have achieved promising results, most of them mainly rely on response sequences or cognitive struc...

Raman Signal Enhancement via High-Power Laser Excitation in a Near-Concentric Cavity for Gas Detection

Raman spectroscopy has emerged as a powerful tool for gas detection due to its label-free operation, molecular specificity, and multi-component analysis capabilities. However, its widespread application is hindered by limited sensitivity, particularly for trace gas analysis. To o...
