Biomimetic EUK-134 Synergy Strategy for Dynamic Cyclic Antioxidant Defense and Defect Passivation in Perovskite Solar Cells

Abstract Organic–inorganic hybrid perovskites are highly susceptible to oxidative degradation under illumination and oxygen exposure. The primary degradation mechanism involves photogenerated electrons reducing adsorbed oxygen to form highly reactive superoxide radicals (O2•–). T...

I2M: a box-based detection framework for molecular structure recognition from images

Accurate recognition and reconstruction of chemical structures from molecular images is critical in cheminformatics, with applications spanning drug discovery, materials science, and patent analysis. However, much of this chemical matter exists in implicit forms that are not dire...

Interpretable machine learning model for predicting the ICU readmission of patients after coronary intervention

To develop and validate an interpretable machine learning (ML) model integrated with inflammatory indicators for predicting ICU readmission in patients after coronary intervention (PCI/CABG). We used retrospective data from MIMIC-IV (training, 2196 patients) and MIMIC-III (extern...

Room-Temperature C–C Bond Cleavage and Ring Expansion of Benzene by a Copper(I)-Substituted Silylene

Abstract The cleavage and functionalization of benzene C–C bonds under mild conditions is of fundamental interest yet remains challenging. Herein, we report that an in situ generated copper(I)-substituted silylene undergoes reversible insertion into benzene at room temperature, a...

Oleanolic acid, a herb extract, acts as a strong and safe enhancer in the collagen-mediated hemostatic cascade in flow

Considerable attention has been paid steadily for efficacy and safety of herb extracts with medicinal benefits, recently. Tranexamic acid (TXA) is a well-known hemostatic agent with strong efficacy but potential thrombus risk. Here, we identified oleanolic acid (OA) as a strong e...

Static Axial–Flexural Behavior of RC Beam-End Plastic Hinges Under Spatial Frame Effects

Reinforced concrete (RC) beams undergo axial elongation during inelastic flexural deformation. In frame structures, this elongation is restrained by adjacent columns and slabs, inducing axial compression and beam overstrength, thereby amplifying force demands on columns and joint...

Defect Engineering on Amorphous NiFeB Alloys for the Selective Conversion of KA Oil Into Adipic Acid

ABSTRACT Developing high‐performance electrocatalysts for the efficient conversion of KA oil (a mixture of cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone) to adipic acid holds great significance. Herein, a series of Ni‐based catalysts, including NiM (M = Fe, Cr, and Mn) layered double hydroxides...

Saying, Doing, and Co‐Inventing: How Environmental, Social, and Governance Disclosure–Performance (In)congruence Shapes Open Innovation

ABSTRACT Although environmental, social, and governance (ESG) disclosure–performance (in)congruence has attracted growing attention, its impact on open innovation remains underexplored. Drawing on signaling theory, we hypothesize that when ESG disclosure and ESG performance are c...

Magnetically Driven Photo‐Microswarms Enable Efficient Polypropylene Fiber Fragmentation and Sterilization

ABSTRACT The extensive utilization and inadequate handling of personal protective equipment waste have emerged as important contributors to microplastic contamination worldwide. Consequently, there is a growing demand for advanced and efficient remediation technologies. This stud...

Dual-modality modeling for depression detection using speech signals

Abstract Depression is a leading contributor to the global burden of disease and a significant barrier to both personal well-being and societal development. Yet, it remains underdiagnosed, primarily due to social stigma and limited access to clinical resources. This study propose...

An Injectable ROS‐Responsive Nanozyme Hydrogel Regulates the Uterine Microenvironment to Prevent Intrauterine Adhesions

ABSTRACT Intrauterine injury triggers a self‐reinforcing cycle of inflammation, oxidative stress, and fibrosis that culminates in intrauterine adhesions (IUA), severely impairing women's reproductive health. Current treatments, including hysteroscopic adhesiolysis combined with h...

Longitudinal plasma phosphorylated tau217 classification and the association with Alzheimer's disease progression

Abstract INTRODUCTION Longitudinal diagnostic and prognostic validity of plasma phosphorylated tau217 (p‐tau217) in Alzheimer's disease (AD) remains uncertain. METHODS In this multi‐cohort study of 2117 individuals, we established baseline plasma p‐tau217 thresholds for amyloid‐β...

Freestanding Hierarchical‐Porous BCZT Thin Films Enable Efficient Ultrasonic Energy Harvesting in Soft Tissue
