From threat to reconfiguration: How content creators reshape occupational identity in AI-driven creative practices

Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is disrupting creative work and challenging occupational identities, yet limited research has examined how creators experience and respond to these changes. Drawing on Albert Ellis’s ABC model, this study investigates relationships among...

Hypoxia‐Regulating Nanozymes for Biomedicine

Hypoxic microenvironments arise when local oxygen supply fails to meet cellular demand and exert an influence on the progression of cancer, ischemic heart and brain injury, chronic inflammatory disorders, and other diseases. Conventional approaches, including oxygen delivery syst...

Additive manufacturing of heterostructured metallic materials: Processing, microstructural characteristics, mechanical properties, and service performance

Developing high-performance metallic materials with excellent mechanical properties and reliable service performance is an everlasting objective of materials research. The perspective on heterostructured materials with dramatic differences in compositions and structures, in conju...

The dual Minkowski problem under group actions

In this paper, we study the dual Minkowski problem under group symmetry. For 0 < 𝑞 ≤ 𝑛 , we give a complete existence characterization in the framework of G -invariant convex bodies when the group 𝐺 ⊂ 𝑂 ⁡ ( 𝑛 ) has no nonzero fixed points, recovering the origin-symmetric setting...

Insect outbreak progression over three years shapes biogenic volatile emissions in a mountain birch forest

Abstract Geometrid moth outbreaks are important natural disturbances in mountain birch ( Betula pubescens ssp. czerepanovii ) forests of northern Fennoscandia and are expected to intensify with climate change. Impacts of these outbreaks and moth herbivory on biogenic volatile org...

Rock Bridge Fracture and Differential Deformation During Progressive Failure of Rock Slopes with Intermittent Joints Using a Stabilized Peridynamics Model

Progressive failure of rock slopes with intermittent joints involves crack propagation through intact rock bridges and the development of differential deformation. This study uses a stabilized non-ordinary state-based peridynamics model to investigate these processes. The model c...

High peak-current AlGaAs tunnel junctions for 10-junction GaAs laser power converters

Laser power converters (LPCs) are the core photovoltaic devices that act as receivers in optical wireless power transmission systems. In these devices, tunnel junctions (TJs) are employed to vertically interconnect multiple absorption sub-cells in series to construct high-voltage...

Reconfiguring interfacial hydrogen-bond networks to enhance anodic oxidation for efficient wastewater treatment

Abstract Anodic oxidation is a pivotally electrochemical technology for wastewater treatment containing emerging contaminants such as isothiazolinone antimicrobials, but sluggish interfacial water-splitting kinetics for hydroxyl radical (•OH) formation and a limited oxidation ran...

A continuous spiral-spring triboelectric nanogenerator for energy harvesting and self-sensing under ultra-low-frequency rotation

Self-powered monitoring of slowly rotating components is hindered by the small relative speed and limited installation space available to conventional rotary triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs). Here, a continuously driven unidirectional rotary TENG (CDUR-TENG) is developed by i...

Dynamic Supramolecular Hydrophobic Ionogels with Ultrafast Self-Healing for Reliable Underwater Electronics

Abstract Conductive ionogels integrating rapid self-healing, underwater stability, and reliable sensing capability are highly desirable for next-generation wearable electronics, yet remain challenging to achieve simultaneously. Herein, a multifunctional hydrophobic ionogel is dev...

“Word‐By‐Word” or “Line‐By‐Line” Presentation? How Response Generation Dynamics in Generative AI Influence User Acceptance

ABSTRACT Generative AI systems are increasingly integrated into various user support and decision‐making contexts. While extensive research has explored user acceptance of generative AI across domains, less is known about how its inherent presentation features influence such acce...

In Situ Cellulose Removal from Wood: A Novel Strategy for Preparing Simulated 80,000-Year-Old Waterlogged Archaeological Wood

Abstract Waterlogged archaeological wood (WAW), characterized by extensive degradation of cellulose and hemicellulose with concomitant relative lignin enrichment, represents a vital yet vulnerable class of cultural heritage materials. Due to the scarcity of archaeological wood sp...

When incentives change: Career considerations, pollution control, and employment outcomes

This study examines how career concerns influence industrial firms’ pollution emissions and employment. We provide compelling evidence that the new promotion evaluation system (NPES) effectively reduces SO2 emissions but also significantly decreases corporate employment. More spe...

Stabilizing Water Molecules in Hydrogel Electrolytes Enables 2.8 V‐Class Purely Aqueous Zn–Li Hybrid Batteries

ABSTRACT Currently, reported high‐voltage aqueous zinc batteries generally operate below 2.0 V. Achieving a discharge plateau/average operating voltage exceeding 2.0 V typically requires charging voltages above 2.5 V; however, the limited electrochemical stability of water molecu...

Multi-stage siting and sizing of PV stations under long-term carbon price: a branch-and-bound embedded progressive hedging approach

Reasonable programming of photovoltaic (PV) site selection and sizing is essential for boosting renewable energy penetration and power system carbon emission reduction, thereby mitigating future electricity procurement cost risks under dynamic carbon pricing. However, the problem...

Facilitating residents’ storytelling in tourism communities: Communication infrastructure and acculturation

Storytelling has become an important means of destination branding, with residents as key creators and disseminators of local narratives. However, the structural and cultural conditions that enable residents' storytelling behavior remain insufficiently understood. Drawing on Comm...

BMI-adjusted handgrip strength as a functional index to assess fall risk among older adults

This study was devised to explore how body mass index-adjusted handgrip strength (HGS/BMI) is related to subsequent fall risk among older Chinese adults, while also examining whether HGS/BMI demonstrates more consistent associations and more stable sex-specific associations than...

Electroacupuncture for erectile dysfunction in patients after robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a prevalent and impactful sequelae following robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), significantly diminishing patients’ quality of life. Although electroacupuncture is widely employed for ED management in China, robust evidence supporting its...
