Tandem Interphase Design Achieves Two‐Year Cycling of Aqueous Zinc Metal Batteries Under Extreme Conditions

ABSTRACT The development of aqueous zinc metal batteries (AZMBs) is impeded by their limited lifespan, especially at extreme conditions (high current, low temperature etc.), primarily because the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) on Zn anode cannot simultaneously balance the sol...

Unleashing innovation: how fit between organizational generative AI adoption and employee AI literacy drives creative performance

Purpose As organizations increasingly pursue top-down adoption of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) to drive innovation and efficiency, a key challenge is whether rising GenAI-related job demands are aligned with employees' AI abilities, such as AI literacy, in ways that...

Limitation of O3 Dry Deposition by Elevated-Source NO Emissions and Surface Dryness in Urban Environments

Abstract Tropospheric ozone (O3) is a major air pollutant that adversely affects human health, climate and ecosystems. However, its removal in urban environments remains poorly represented in air-quality and climate models, largely due to limited flux-based observations of urban...

Control-gain estimation and disturbance rejection for nonlinear mechatronic systems: Design and experimental validation

Accurate control-gain estimation and disturbance rejection are important for practical nonlinear mechatronic systems operating under uncertain actuation and limited sensing conditions. In many engineering applications, the effective control gain may vary due to actuator aging, lo...

Design, Synthesis, and Antimicrobial Activity of Novel Cyt- bd Inhibitors Targeting Energy Compensation in Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Abstract Drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) poses a growing threat, necessitating new therapeutic strategies. The cytochrome bcc-aa3 oxidase (Cyt-bcc) is an attractive target, yet single-agent inhibition fails owing to compensation by the alternative cytochrome bd te...

Discovery and Synthesis of Selective Casein Kinase 1δ Degraders for Suppressing Oncogenic NRAS-Mutant Melanoma

Abstract Activating NRAS mutations occur in approximately 20% of melanomas but remain largely undruggable due to the lack of effective targeted therapies. We previously identified casein kinase 1δ (CK1δ) as a critical upstream regulator that stabilizes oncogenic NRAS mutants. How...
