BO‐Fusion Modulates Excited‐State Energetics to Enable Heavy‐Atom‐Free Photosensitization

ABSTRACT Substitution of C═C bonds with B–E units (E = N, O, P, etc.) provides a powerful strategy to modulate the electronic structure of π‐conjugated frameworks with minimal skeletal perturbation. However, precise control over excited‐state processes through heteroatom incorpor...

The Lark-Loop Technique for Onlay Biceps Tenodesis: A Biomechanical, Histological, and Radiological Study in a Rabbit Model

Background: Arthroscopic cortical surface tenodesis has been established as an effective technique for managing lesions of the long head of the biceps tendon (LHBT). However, traditional suture techniques frequently provide insufficient initial mechanical strength, which may cont...

Benchmarking copy number alteration inference methods for spatial transcriptomics

Copy number alterations (CNAs), gains or losses of genomic regions, contribute to malignant progression and tumor heterogeneity. Advances in spatial transcriptomics have expanded opportunities to study clonal structure in situ, but direct spatial genomic profiling remains difficu...

Molecular Design for the Multidimensional Modulation of Supramolecular Nanoparticle Interactions

Abstract Surface ligand engineering based on reversible supramolecular hydrogen bonding provides a versatile strategy for programmable nanoparticle (NP) self-assembly, yet quantitatively linking the molecular structure to interparticle interactions remains challenging. Here, expl...

Measuring charge transport in high-energy nuclear collisions with an energy scan of isobaric collisions

Abstract We present a method to measure electric-charge transport in high-energy nuclear collisions using a beam-energy scan of isobaric systems. Comparing collisions of nuclei with identical mass number but different atomic numbers allows the charge difference ( $$\varDelta Q$$...

Self‐Assembly and Molecular Recognition by Synthetic Receptors at the Oil‐Water Interface in Aqueous Microdroplets

ABSTRACT Aqueous microdroplets in a bulk fluorous oil medium confer unique behavior on self‐folding water‐soluble synthetic receptors (deep cavitands). The lipophilic, yet water‐soluble cavitands self‐assemble at the water‐oil interface, coating the surface of the microdroplet ra...

Sulfonic Acid‐Functionalized Zn Single‐Atom Catalysts With Dual Thiophilic and Sodiophilic Sites for High‐Performance Sodium−Sulfur Batteries

ABSTRACT Metal single‐atom catalysts (SACs) for sodium−sulfur (Na−S) batteries typically rely solely on thiophilic binding sites to interact with the polysulfide anions of sodium polysulfides (NaPSs), which intrinsically restricts their catalytic efficiency in sulfur redox reacti...

Design, Synthesis, and Fungicidal Activity Evaluation of 1,2,4-Triazole Fungicides Featuring gem -Difluoromethylthio Moiety

Abstract The gem-difluoroalkylthio (−SCF2−) moiety has achieved great success in medicinal chemistry, but its application in agrochemicals remains underexplored because of synthetic challenges. Herein, we report a series of 1,2,4-triazole derivatives bearing the gem-difluoromethy...

Emerging Hotspots of Cropland Expansion on Steeper Tropical Terrains Intensify Tropical Forest Carbon Loss

Abstract Tropical deforestation driven by agricultural expansion to meet growing food demand poses a rising threat to the global carbon cycle. While previous studies quantified agriculture‐related carbon losses, the role of cropland expansion remains poorly resolved, partly becau...

Three-dimensional magnetotelluric Bayesian inversion based on Stein variational gradient descent

Summary To address the challenge of assessing the reliability of three-dimensional (3D) magnetotelluric (MT) inversion results, we have developed a variational inference (VI) inversion framework (VI-MT) based on the Stein Variational Gradient Descent (SVGD) method. Through parall...

Anionic Bottom-Up Flux Orchestrated via Hard Carbon Surface Chemistry for Stable Sodium-Ion Batteries

Abstract Hard carbon anodes for sodium-ion batteries suffer from unstable solid-electrolyte interphase formation, leading to low initial Coulombic efficiency and poor cycle stability. Herein, we demonstrate a molecular-level surface design that actively orchestrates an anionic bo...

Relativistic position verification with coherent states

Abstract A secure approach to determining the position of an entity can enable schemes such as position-based authorization for transactions and tracking of high-value targets. However, classical methods are incapable of providing secure position verification in the untrusted-pro...

Exploring baryon semileptonic decays through polarization and entanglement

Abstract The unitarity of the Cabibbo–Kobayashi–Maskawa (CKM) matrix is a cornerstone of the standard model (SM). Precise tests of this unitarity require independent determinations of its elements, such as | V us |, which governs the transition between strange and up quarks. Curr...

Zooming in on ‘bi-large’ neutrino mixing with the first JUNO results

Abstract The leptonic mixing matrix is examined within bi-large mixing patterns and confronted with the latest results announced by the Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO). We analyze the viability of bi-large mixing schemes and assess JUNO’s ability to test neutrino...

Immunomodulatory, Antibacterial, Antioxidative and EGF‐Delivering Hydrogel Remodels Wound Microenvironment for Infected Diabetic Wound Healing

ABSTRACT The treatment of diabetic wounds remains a major challenge due to persistent bacterial infections, chronic inflammation, and impaired angiogenesis. To address these issues, we develop an immunomodulatory and antibacterial hydrogel integrating epidermal growth factor (EGF...

From occlusion to 3D: amodal completion-assisted single-view wheat reconstruction

Occlusion is a major factor limiting accurate three-dimensional (3D) wheat phenotyping. In natural growth conditions, overlapping spikes, leaves, and stems often make only partial target regions visible in single-view images, hindering complete and reliable 3D reconstruction. To...

Transient Regulation of Crystallization via Volatile Additives to Obtain High‐Quality Perovskite Films

ABSTRACT Exact regulation of nucleation and crystallization kinetics is essential for fabricating high‐performance perovskite solar cells (PSCs). However, regulating the fast assembly of precursors without incorporating residual impurities presents a significant difficulty. We pr...

Development and validation of an interpretable machine learning model for predicting ICU prognosis in critically ill patients with invasive pulmonary aspergillosis: a multicenter study

Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) is associated with elevated mortality among intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Early prognostic risk stratification is of great importance; however, validated clinical tools remain limited. This study aimed to develop and validate an interp...

InstructTime++: Time Series Classification with Multimodal Language Modeling via Implicit Feature Enhancement

Most existing time series classification methods follow a discriminative modeling paradigm that directly maps input sequences to one-hot encoded class labels. Although effective, this paradigm suffers from two inherent limitations: it is difficult to effectively exploit contextua...

Commodity WiFi Can Capture Your Respiration Even the Motion Interference Exists

As one widely used wireless technique, WiFi has the potential to perform non-contact monitoring of respiration. While pioneering works have demonstrated promising performance, they inevitably ignore the impact of pervasive motion interference caused by non-target body areas or ne...
