Hidden Heat Before Flames: Multispectral Deep Learning for Early Warning of Concealed Fire Hazards in Insulated Structures

Concealed fires within the insulation layers of buildings, such as cold storage facilities and cinemas, present a serious fire hazard because heat generated by electrical faults can accumulate behind protective panels before ignition and then spread rapidly once combustion begins...

Topologically Engineered DNA Origami: Responsive Locking of DNA Quadrilateral for Biosensing Application

Abstract DNA nanotechnology offers unique opportunities for creating various accurate and responsive nanostructures. Nevertheless, large-scale conformational changes with high geometric precision and efficiency remain major challenges. Herein we report a topologically engineered...

A Sequential Markov Probabilistic Aggregation Algorithm for Causal Emergence in Markov Aggregation

Causal emergence (CE) is a phenomenon in which macrodynamics provide better effective information (EI) than microdynamics. The CE is widely used as the objective function in Markov aggregation. The existing works focus on deterministic aggregation, which may not offer a good solu...

Alternating-chiral charge density waves and associated spin polarization in monolayered NbTe2

Intertwining of different quantum degrees of freedom manifests exotic quantum phenomena in many-body systems, especially in reduced dimensionality. Here we show that monolayered NbTe2 serves as a promising platform where lattice, charge, and spin degrees of freedom manifest coope...

Microcomb-driven large-scale fully connected quantum network

Abstract Fully connected quantum networks enable simultaneous connection of every user to every other user and are a highly versatile and robust networking architecture. However, the scalability of such networks remains a great challenge for practical applications. Here we constr...

Lithium Acetylacetonate Mediated Multidimensional Optimization for Reversible Zn Anodes

ABSTRACT Aqueous zinc‐ion batteries (AZIBs) are promising for large‐scale energy storage owing to their high safety, yet their practical application is hindered by uncontrollable zinc dendrite growth, interfacial side reactions, and poor deposition reversibility of zinc anodes. H...

CIP2A–TOPBP1 complex and PP2A dynamically regulate Polθ recruitment and phosphorylation at mitotic DNA double-strand breaks

DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) that occur during mitosis are primarily repaired by Polθ-mediated microhomology-mediated end joining (MMEJ). The CIP2A–TOPBP1 complex has been shown to tether broken chromatin at mitotic DSBs, but whether it coordinates with or functions independen...

Defect‐Rich Ir Single‐Atom/NiMnO x Catalyst: From Surface Reconstruction to Practical PEM Electrolysis

ABSTRACT Developing highly active and durable catalysts for the acidic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) remains a key challenge for proton exchange membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE). Herein, we report an efficient OER catalyst constructed via a low‐temperature calcination‐hydrot...

On Fractional Milne-Mercer Bounds for $s$-Convex Functions with Applications

Fractional integral inequalities play a fundamental role in modern analysisand have significant applications in the qualitative study of fractionaldifferential and integral equations. Motivated by the need for sharperestimates in fractional settings, this paper establishes severa...

Highly suppressed tensor-to-scalar ratio from a modified Lennard–Jones inflationary potential

Abstract The increasingly stringent observational bounds on primordial gravitational waves strongly constrain inflationary model building, favoring scenarios that predict highly suppressed tensor perturbations. While many viable constructions rely on non-canonical kinetic terms,...

Post-disaster refeeding influences the effects of fasting duration on food craving: evidence from EEG beta-band analysis

In disaster contexts, fasting (food deprivation) and subsequent refeeding may substantially alter individuals’ food craving, thereby influencing decisions about resource allocation. Understanding these changes can provide insight into behavioural responses during disasters. Howev...

A Fully‐Connected Chip‐Integrated Reconfigurable Mode‐Pairing Quantum Key Distribution Network

ABSTRACT Quantum key distribution (QKD) provides an information‐theoretic security framework for building QKD networks (QNs). However, existing QN architectures face critical challenges: trusted‐node‐based designs inherently expose relay nodes to physical compromise, while entang...

Reaction-induced surface/subsurface indium species formation on ZrO2 for enhanced CO2 hydrogenation to methanol

The complex structural evolution of oxide catalysts during CO2 hydrogenation presents both challenges and opportunities for optimizing catalytic performance. This study demonstrates reaction-induced transformation of In2O3 particles into InOx nanolayers and subsurface In-Zr-O sol...
