Star PolyelectrolyteCoacervates Enable Adaptive andRobust Enzyme Immobilization for Efficient Biocatalysis

Abstract Enzyme immobilization in solid porous supports often suffers from a trade-off among enzyme loading, mass transport, catalytic activity, and operational stability. Here, we report a liquid-like immobilization platform based on star polyelectrolyte coacervates (SPECs) form...

The role of equatorial juvenile arcs in the Middle Triassic seawater 87Sr/86Sr decline during the Pangean “quiet” period

The Middle Triassic (246−235 Ma) seawater 87Sr/86Sr record exhibits an excursion following the recovery from Siberian large igneous province volcanism. Two primary mechanisms have been proposed to explain the isotopic shift: (1) a change in the 87Sr/86Sr ratio of the continental...

Solvent-AssistedDelamination of Boridene toward High-PerformanceMicro-Supercapacitors and Integrated Microsystems

Abstract Delaminating MoAlB-etched MoB into high-quality well-separated boridene nanosheets remains a formidable challenge. Current methods yield thick, restacked assemblies, severely limiting its potential for high-performance applications. Herein, we report solvent-assisted del...

Constructing Intrinsic Inorganic Superhydrophobicity With Omnipotent Robustness Through Epitaxially‐Grown Fluoride‐Free Ceramics

ABSTRACT Materials with superhydrophobicity have been persistently sought after for their extensive improvements in energy, environment, and other significant fields over the last few decades. Nevertheless, surface modification remains the mainstream approach to achieve low surfa...

Sodium Lidar observed multiple sodium layer structures and their dynamical coupling mechanism

Abstract. On the night of 13 June 2013, the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) sodium lidar observed multiple sporadic sodium layers (SSLs) and enhanced sodium patterns (ESPs) over Hefei, China (31.8°N, 117.3°E). These structures appeared at different times, col...

Spontaneous ChlorineGeneration via Interfacial Oxidationof Chloride by O2 on Acidic Microdroplets

Abstract Reactive chlorine species significantly influence atmospheric chemistry, yet their sources remain inadequately defined. We have discovered a spontaneous formation pathway for substantial molecular chlorine (Cl2) from the oxidation of chloride (Cl–) through interfacial ox...

Colossal and ReversibleBarocaloric and Solvent-CaloricEffects in a T C-Adjustable Spin-CrossoverComplex

Abstract Barocaloric effects (BCE) represent an appealing refrigeration technology and have attracted great interest recently. However, most BCE materials still cannot meet real-world refrigeration requirements because of their fixed phase transition temperature TC and the signif...

Nano‑Ni-based multi-channel recyclable thermal interface material with dual-mode interface adaptability

The rapid miniaturization and integration of electronic devices demand highly efficient thermal management while concurrently exacerbating the global electronic waste (e-waste) crisis. Although thermal interface materials (TIMs) are important for heat dissipation, their end-of-li...
