AgEuPS4: Unlocking the CentrosymmetricShackle of Rare-Earth Thiophosphates via Microscopic Distortion Cascadingfor Enhanced Second-Harmonic Generation Response

Abstract Breaking the rigid centrosymmetric (CS) shackles of rare-earth thiophosphates remains a significant challenge for designing high-performance mid-to-far-infrared (MFIR) nonlinear optical (NLO) materials. Herein, using the CS LiEuPS4 (I41/acd) as the structural template, a...

Behavioral Improvement and Task-Related Brain Activation Following Cognitive Training in Children/Adolescents and Young Adults: A Three-Level Behavioral and Coordinate-Based Neuroimaging Meta-Analysis

Background/Objectives: Cognitive training provides a framework for examining how repeated practice relates to changes in cognitive performance and task-related brain activation, yet age-stratified patterns of neural effects remain unclear. Methods: We conducted a three-level beha...

Visible‐Light‐Mediated One‐Pot Synthesis of Fused Bicyclic γ‐Lactams From Cyclic Amino Acids and Acrylates

An efficient, economical and modular route for the synthesis of fused bicyclic γ‐lactams has been achieved. Commercially accessible cyclic α‐amino acid derivatives are employed as starting materials and react with acrylates to afford fused bicyclic γ‐lactams, which are a fundamen...

Steering Structural Reconstruction in CO2 Electroreduction Catalysts

Abstract Structural reconstruction of electrocatalysts during the CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) is a critical yet complex dynamic process that profoundly influences catalytic performance. It governs the creation, transformation, and degradation of active sites, thereby presentin...

A Bibliometric Analysis of Global Research Trends on Companion Animals and Mental Health: Revealing Research Hotspots and Future Prospects

Companion animals have increasingly become central to human emotional life, yet the literature linking living with companion animals, human–animal interaction, and mental health remains fragmented. This study mapped global research trends on companion animals and mental health fr...

Comparative phytotoxicity of PFOS and its substitute OBS in mulberry and implications for a mulberry-silkworm exposure system

Perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) is a persistent perfluoroalkyl substance known to exert adverse effects on soil and terrestrial ecosystems. However, the toxicological risks of its substitutes, particularly sodium p-perfluorinated nonenoxybenzene sulfonate (OBS), and their im...

Effects of monensin residues on microbial community and the attenuation of antibiotic resistance genes during chicken manure composting

Monensin is a polyether ionophore antibiotic widely used to prevent coccidiosis and inhibit Gram-positive bacteria. Composting is widely regarded as an effective strategy for reducing the abundance of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in manure. However, the long half-life of mo...

Objective–Subjective Socioeconomic Status Configurations, Self-Acceptance, and Adolescent Prosocial Moral Reasoning: A Response Surface Analysis

Background: Objective and subjective socioeconomic status capture distinct aspects of adolescents’ socioeconomic experience, but their joint associations with prosocial moral reasoning and self-acceptance remain unclear. This study examined objective–subjective socioeconomic stat...

Crack-localization in elastomeric self-healing enabled by one supermolecule-analogous molecule

Residual invisible cracks make perfect material self-healing difficult to achieve. In principle, cracks could be visualized by luminescent indicators; however, high-energy fluctuations associated with rapid healing kinetics interfere with the electronic transitions of luminophore...

AmTH Plays an Indispensable Role in Larval Development as Well as Adult Immunity in Apis mellifera

In insects, tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) plays crucial roles in a wide variety of biological processes. However, its function in Apis mellifera remains unknown. Here, AmTH (A. mellifera TH) was cloned and characterized. Expression profiles at different stages showed that AmTH was hi...

ZmTB1be1 Modulates Ear Branching via Releasing the Repression to ZmWOX3a in Maize

The natural mutation of ZmTB1WT to ZmTB1be1 was documented as the fundamental cause of ear branching in maize, while the molecular mechanism remains undiscovered. In the present study, we characterized both ZmTB1WT and ZmTB1be1, and found that the structure of conserved domains,...

A miniaturized synaptic quantum dot light-emitting diode integrating neuromorphic vision and display

Artificial vision systems conventionally segregate sensing, memory, processing, and display into discrete modules, incurring latency, energy penalties, and architectural complexity. Here, we report a miniaturized synaptic quantum-dot light-emitting diode that monolithically integ...

Genotype-dependent growth promotion by Kribbella and Nocardioides in maize under low-phosphorus conditions

Abstract Background and Aims Phosphorus (P) deficiency limits crop productivity. Root hairs are crucial for P acquisition and may influence plant–microbe interactions. We investigated how root-hair defects affect plant responsiveness to beneficial bacteria under low-P conditions,...

Screening White-Rot Fungi and Characterizing Lignocellulose Degradation by Ganoderma sp. from Chinese Distillers’ Grains

Chinese distillers’ grains (CDGs) are a lignocellulose-rich agricultural byproduct with considerable bioconversion potential; however, their recalcitrant structure imposes a major bottleneck for efficient valorization. In this study, six white-rot fungal strains and two Trichoder...

Integrated Histological and Transcriptomic Characterization of Prolonged Starvation Responses in the Cavefish Triplophysa rosa

Food scarcity is a major ecological challenge for cavefish; however, their coordinated physiological and molecular responses to prolonged starvation remain poorly understood. Here, we characterized the responses of Triplophysa rosa to 30, 60, and 90 days of food deprivation under...

Concentration-dependent alleviation of lead toxicity in rapeseed by elevated CO2 is associated with rhizosphere microbiome remodeling

Interactive effects of elevated CO 2 (eCO 2 ) and heavy metal pollution on plant–microbe systems are critical for predicting ecosystem responses under future climate scenarios. We investigated how eCO 2 modulates lead (Pb) toxicity in rapeseed ( Brassica napus ) and its rhizosphe...
