Clean Heating Renovation Differentially Reduces Nitro-PAH and Nitrated Phenol Exposure: Implications from Real-World Personal Monitoring and NF-κB-Based Toxicological Assessment

Abstract Nitrogen-containing organic compounds (NOCs) are key characteristic components in particulate matter (PM) from household solid fuel combustion, yet their personal exposure and class-dependent toxicity remain poorly characterized. We compared size-resolved personal exposu...

Universal Metal Electrode Contacts in Perovskite Solar Cells via Fermi‐Level Pinning at Yb‐Doped n + Fullerene Interfaces

ABSTRACT Efficient electron extraction at the electron transport layer (ETL)/metal interface is critical for high‐performance perovskite solar cells (PSCs), which is fundamentally governed by interfacial energy‐level alignment; however, the microscopic mechanism by which low‐resi...

Mixed‐Dimensional 1D/2D Ternary CMOS for High‐Performance Integrated Circuits

ABSTRACT Ternary logic offers a path to higher information density and lower power consumption beyond the limits of binary CMOS, yet its progress has been limited by the absence of high‐performance ternary transistors and scalable circuit technologies. Here we report a mixed‐dime...

Metagenomic Insights into the Functional Profiles of Carbon, Nitrogen, and Phosphorus Cycles in Yuncheng Salt Lake Under Different Salinity Gradients

Salinity is a key driver of microbial community structure and function in salt lake ecosystems, yet how it shapes functional genes involved in carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) cycling remains poorly understood. We collected metagenomic samples along a natural salinity...

Effectiveness of digital health interventions for the management of Low Anterior Resection Syndrome (LARS) after sphincter-preserving surgery for rectal cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Low anterior resection syndrome (LARS) frequently occurs following sphincter-preserving rectal cancer surgery. Although recent studies have reported the effects of digital health interventions for LARS management, no systematic review and meta-analysis has been conducted. We sear...

A TSV-packaged SP6T RF MEMS switch with ultra-thin profile and suppressed substrate loss for DC to Ku band application

The evolution of wireless communication imposes stringent requirements on RF front-end modules, specifically demanding switches with ultra-thin profiles and wideband coverage up to Ku band. However, conventional packaged MEMS switches often result in excessive device height, crea...

Biodegradable nanoplastics potentiate cadmium quantum dot developmental neurotoxicity in embryonic stem cells via synergistic interactions

Biodegradable nanoplastics like poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) are increasingly used as green alternatives, yet their interactions with environmental co-occurrence engineered nanomaterials like cadmium-containing quantum dots (Cd-QDs) remain poorly understood. Here, using a mouse emb...

Large-scale array of squeezed light and synchronization using atomic vapor

Abstract Quantum light sources such as squeezed light are essential for quantum information science and technologies, but the scalable production of multiple beams of them remains a challenge. Here, we experimentally demonstrate a novel approach to the generation of a large spati...

How does metaphorical meaning “grow”? – An interpretive approach to literary metaphor from the perspective of Peircean semiotics

Abstract Traditional metaphor studies mostly focus on conceptual mapping at the cognitive level and tend to regard metaphor as a largely static projection from the source domain to the target domain. Such a perspective fails to fully account for the unique openness of meaning and...

Hydrogen bond mediated oxidation enables sustained oxygen evolution at industrial current densities

Stable and efficient non−precious electrocatalysts are crucial for the industrialization of anion exchange membrane water electrolysis as a green hydrogen production technology. Here, we show a synergistic dual-anion engineering combining Se doping and surface [B(OH)4]− modificat...

Labile carbon input suppresses Q10 of soil organic carbon decomposition by dynamically lowering microbial activation energy mediated by a shift in microbial metabolic strategy

Understanding the temperature sensitivity (Q 10 ) of soil organic carbon (SOC) decomposition, as constrained by the activation energy (E a ) of microbial metabolism, is critical for predicting climate-carbon feedbacks. This study examined how exogenous glucose influences Q 10 in...

Noise‐Resistant Correlated Biphoton Imaging Based on the Superbunching Emission From Single Colloidal Quantum Dots

ABSTRACT Quantum‐correlated techniques enable high‐contrast and super‐resolution imaging through the feature of correlated photons. The superbunching effect with a second‐order correlation larger than 2, i.e., g (2) (0) > 2, demonstrates the existence of strong correlations betwe...
