Two‐Dimensional SnS 2 Interlayers Enable Vacancy‐Guided Ion Migration for Stable Diffusive Memristors and Bioinspired Nociception

ABSTRACT The realization of sophisticated autonomous interaction in humanoid robots is currently constrained by the complexity and stochasticity of conventional sensory hardware. Volatile memristors provide a promising biomimetic alternative; however, their performance is often l...

Osteoclastogenesis with FN1-associated cell differentiation, immune communication, and ECM remodeling in male SAMP6 mice

Early diagnosis and precise treatment of senile osteoporosis remain challenging. Herein, we apply a multi-omics strategy, integrating scRNA-seq and proteomics in the male 5-month-old senescence-accelerated mouse prone 6 (SAMP6) spontaneous aging model, to study early bone loss. T...

Deterioration mechanisms under combined low-amplitude thermal-fatigue and sulphate attack of concrete lining materials for underground thermal energy storage

Underground thermal energy storage (UTES) is an emerging decarbonisation technology for storing heat. However, the complex working environment with fluctuating temperature and potentially varying water chemistry may pose challenges to the lining materials, threatening the stabili...

Viscoelastic effect on the dynamics of high-speed needle jets generated during bubble collapse in proximity to a solid boundary

When a cavitation bubble collapses near a solid boundary within a small stand-off distance, a needle jet could be generated and directed toward the solid wall in Newtonian fluids. However, cavitation bubbles in viscoelastic fluids also widely exist, including in interstitial flui...

Integrating neuroimaging, transcriptomics and single-cell sequencing identifies candidate molecular features of cortical vulnerability in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a rapidly progressive neurodegenerative disease that leads to reductions in cortical surface area (SA) and thickness (TH). However, the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying these cortical structural alterations remain unclear. This st...

Ultrafast Laser Induced Bulk Damage Dynamics and Pulse ‐ Width Criticality Mechanism on KDP Crystals

ABSTRACT Potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP) crystals play significant roles in strong‐field laser systems applied as the electro‐optical switches and nonlinear frequency convertors. However, the intrinsic ultrafast laser induced bulk damage is still a challenging issue and seve...

Complex exposure–response relationships between meteorological factors and severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome risk

Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is an emerging tick-borne infectious disease influenced by meteorological factors. This study aimed to characterize the complex exposure–response relationships between multiple meteorological factors and SFTS risk in Anhui Provin...

A cytogenetic analysis with chromosome painting in typical antbirds (Passeriformes, Thamnophilidae) and an inference on chromosome evolution in Passeriformes

Abstract The typical antbirds (Passeriformes, Thamnophilidae) are a monophyletic group comprising 225 species in 45 genera, primarily distributed in the lowland forests of the Neotropics. There is limited karyotypic information for this bird family, including chromosome morpholog...

Site-specific seawater conditions modulate bacterial community responses to ocean alkalinity enhancement

Ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) based on alkaline mineral addition is a promising marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR) strategy. However, knowledge remains limited on how OAE affects microbial communities across heterogeneous ocean environments, which play essential roles in m...

Self-perceived hearing impairment, hearing aid use, and willingness to use hearing aids among older adults in rural China

Despite the substantial health burden posed by hearing impairment (HI) in older adults and although hearing aids are effective interventions, population-level data on hearing aid use remain scarce, and the determinants of willingness to use hearing aids have not been comprehensiv...

A Quasi-Michaelis–Menten Mechanism Explains the Nonlinear Relationship between Transition Metals and PM2.5 Oxidative Potential Measured by the Dithiothreitol (DTT) Assay

Abstract Oxidative potential (OP), defined as the capacity of particulate matter (PM) to consume antioxidants and/or generate reactive oxygen species, is increasingly used as a metric for assessing PM toxicity. However, the concentration–response relationship between PM component...

Comparison of passive Q-switching and Q-switched mode-locking transition in Nd:MgO:LiNbO3 laser based on cavity length modulation

The transition from passive Q-switching (PQS) to Q-switched mode-locking (QML) in the Nd:MgO:LiNbO 3 laser is systematically investigated. A coupled rate equation model is established by introducing a hyperbolic secant function into the PQS photon density equations. The cavity le...
