Inspired by the newly discovered sandwich D5d [Os(η5-B5H10)2] as a carbon-free analog of ferrocene [Fe(η5-C5H5)2] and based on extensive global searches and first-principles theory calculations, we present herein the viable possibility of a staggered sandwich bis(η6-cycloborane)c...

Muscle synergy characteristics during hands-and-knees crawling in children aged 4–6 years

Hands-and-knees crawling requires complex multi-joint coordination, managed by the central nervous system (CNS) via muscle synergies. While infant crawling is well-studied, neuromotor control in 4–6-year-olds remains under-investigated. This study examined the spatiotemporal cons...

Adaptive Integrated Microfluidic System with Real-Time Dielectric Feedback for Deterministic Micro-Manipulation

Abstract Conventional microfluidic particle sorting systems predominantly rely on static, open-loop operational principles, rendering them highly vulnerable to performance deterioration induced by cellular phenotypic heterogeneity and localized hydrodynamic fluctuations. Here, we...

Metal-Free Carbon with Synergistic Enrichment Catalysis for Rapid Removal of Antibiotics

Abstract A freeze-drying-assisted pyrolysis strategy was used to prepare nitrogen-doped porous carbon (FNC800) from glucose and dicyandiamide (600–900 °C). FNC800 possessed hierarchical porosity (specific surface area 747.36 m2 g–1) and pyridinic-N sites. After 30 min adsorption–...

Circularly polarized light (CPL) holds immense promise for diverse applications, including 3D displays, quantum information processing, biosensing, and optical imaging. However, high-performance, ultrathin, and easily integrable devices for CPL manipulation and discrimination rem...

Formation of Carbonisocyanatidic Amide in Interstellar Ice Analogs as a Candidate Precursor to Prebiotic Pyrimidines

Abstract Understanding how pyrimidine nucleobases form in space is central to prebiotic chemistry, yet the pathways assembling these heterocycles remain unresolved. Carbonisocyanatidic amide (H2NC(O)NCO), an acyclic intermediate with heteroatom connectivity relevant to uracil and...

High codimension bifurcations and complex pattern selection in a diffusive Leslie–Gower predator–prey model with Bazykin functional response

Most existing studies on diffusive predator–prey systems mainly focus on codimension-1 Turing and Hopf bifurcations, while the role of higher codimension bifurcations in complex pattern selection and spatiotemporal dynamics remains far from fully understood. Therefore, we investi...

Dynamic Assessment and Synergistic Reconfiguration of Rural Territorial System Resilience: A Case Study of Quzhou County, China

Rapid urbanization is widely regarded as a major pathway to rural development through improved market accessibility, infrastructure provision, and urban–rural functional linkages. Yet long-term empirical evidence has not sufficiently tested whether urban proximity enhances or ero...
