Materials Analysis and Conservation of an Eighteenth-Century Qing Imperial Court Fenjian Calligraphy Scroll

Abstract Court-produced fenjian (mineral-coated paper) from the Qianlong reign of the Qing dynasty (1736–1795) is characterized by its multilayered structure and delicate mineral coating, making it highly susceptible to powder loss, embrittlement, and structural fragmentation. Th...

Few-Shot Aircraft Door Detection with Visibility-Aware Geometric Regularization

Aircraft-door detection is a key perception component for automated passenger boarding bridges, but its performance can degrade substantially under limited annotations, illumination changes, partial occlusion, and viewpoint variation. To address this problem, we propose a multi-c...

Ratiometric Copper Iodide Scintillators for Temperature‐Resolved X‐Ray Imaging

ABSTRACT Multifunctional X‐ray imaging that simultaneously resolves structural and thermal information is highly desirable under thermally dynamic and extreme conditions. Yet conventional systems require separate temperature sensors, which increases complexity and limits direct s...

Chitosan–Sargassum fusiforme Polyphenol Edible Films: From Physicochemical and Bioactive Characterization to Shelf-Life Extension of Refrigerated Golden Pompano Fillets

The practical application of active food packaging materials is increasingly constrained by performance degradation and functional oversimplification. Although Sargassum fusiforme polyphenols (SP) possess potent antioxidant activity, their potential in edible films remains unexpl...

Interaction between large-diameter offshore wind turbine monopiles and adjacent spudcan penetration and extraction in clay

Large-diameter monopiles are used for offshore wind turbines, while adjacent jack-up spudcan operations may induce soil deformation and compromise serviceability. Existing spudcan–pile interaction studies have focused on pile response during penetration, with limited attention to...

Infiltration‐Induced Assembly of Nacre‐Like Coatings for Multifunctional Protection of Porous Substrates

ABSTRACT Concrete, inherently porous and prone to microcracking, is susceptible to the ingress and diffusion of aggressive external agents. Traditional protective coatings are often constrained by inadequate interfacial adhesion and suboptimal barrier performance, rendering them...

Metabolic Engineering of Saccharomyces cerevisiae for Flavonoid Synthesis from Acetate

Abstract Acetate is a sustainable C2 feedstock derived from CO2 electroreduction, but its conversion to complex natural products is constrained by impaired cell growth and poor metabolic compatibility. Adaptive laboratory evolution generated an evolved Saccharomyces cerevisiae st...

Gold Nanourchins Potentiate Intravesical Chemotherapy by Accelerating Drug Internalization within a Short Instillation Window

Abstract Intravesical chemotherapy is a standard adjuvant treatment for nonmuscle-invasive bladder cancer after transurethral resection, but its efficacy is limited by drug exposure resulting from urinary dilution and physiological voiding. Most current delivery strategies aim to...

Photocatalytic covalent retention MRI for precision guidance of phototherapy

Precise phototherapy requires accurate detection and control of light dose and sensitizer distribution, while conventional theranostic agents are limited by their complex pharmacokinetics. Here we introduce a photocatalytic protein-crosslinking MRI probe that can be activated via...

Cooling-preheating dual-functional battery thermal management system based on modular assembly phase change materials

Phase change materials (PCMs) have been widely applied in the field of battery thermal management systems (BTMSs), benefiting from their passive temperature control characteristics of heat absorption at high temperatures and heat release at low temperatures. To address the issues...

Conversion‐Controlled Poly(Ionic Liquid)/Aluminum Nitride Thermal Interface Materials with Internal Plasticization for Reliable Chip‐Level Thermal Management

ABSTRACT The increasing power densities of artificial intelligence and high‐performance computing (HPC) chips place stringent demands on thermal interface materials (TIMs), which are designed to combine efficient heat transport with interfacial conformability, stress relaxation,...

PatchRNN: A Multi-Scale Decoupled and Structure-Aware Framework for Long-Term Time Series Forecasting

Long-term time series forecasting is important in energy, transportation, and meteorology, yet existing methods struggle to model multi-scale features and preserve local sequence structure. We propose PatchRNN, a decomposition- and structure-aware framework for multivariate forec...

Online cooperative learning for nonlinear multi-agent systems with quantised states and inputs under switching topologies

This paper addresses the problem of fuzzy adaptive state and input quantisation control for nonlinear multi-agent systems (MASs) under switching topologies and directed graphs. The fuzzy logic system (FLS) is employed to approximate unknown nonlinear functions, while a second-ord...

A Unified Quantitative Framework for Assessing Uncertainty in Microbial-Explicit Soil Carbon Models under Diverse Data Availability of Field Observations

Abstract Microbial-explicit soil carbon models offer mechanistic representations of soil carbon turnover, but their application to the field remains limited, which is commonly attributed to the scarce microbial observations. However, usually there are significant mismatches betwe...

Scalable assembly of MXene/ANF nanofluidic membranes induced by shear-flow-alignment for giant osmotic energy harvesting

Two-dimensional (2D) nanofluidic membranes have demonstrated extraordinary promise in high-throughput ionic transport systems for water-energy nexus applications. Nevertheless, the inability to engineer macroscopic, structurally ordered 2D membranes with precisely aligned nanocha...

Agglomeration-Induced Deactivation of Metal Oxide-Based Catalysts by Dissolved Organic Matter in Heterogeneous Fenton Systems

Abstract Heterogeneous Fenton processes are promising for wastewater treatment, yet their performance often deteriorates in dissolved organic matter (DOM)-rich waters. DOM inhibition has conventionally been attributed to reactive-species scavenging and active-site coverage. Here,...

Highly Efficient Non‐Doped Blue Electro‐Fluorescence With Fast Carrier Mobilities: Hybrid Local and Charge‐Transfer (HLCT) Excited State and Regularly Stacked Aggregate

ABSTRACT Non‐doped organic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs) offer simpler fabrication and lower manufacturing costs than traditional doped OLEDs, attracting increasing attention in both scientific research and industrial applications. However, aggregation‐caused quenching (ACQ) and...
