Design scheme and experimental investigation for a 100 kW-class CO2 axial turbine-generator

Hundred-kilowatt-scale supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO 2 ) cycles are viable solutions for distributed generation and waste heat recovery owing to their high efficiency and compactness. The sCO 2 turbine is a core component of the cycle, playing a decisive role in overall syste...

Prognostic value of NIRS-derived reoxygenation rate in patients receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation

Microcirculatory dysfunction plays a critical role in the pathophysiology of critically ill patients receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). However, reliable bedside indicators reflecting microcirculatory function and their prognostic value remain unclear. This stu...

Decoherence-protected entangling gates in a silicon carbide quantum node

Solid-state color centers are promising candidates for nodes in quantum network architectures. However, realizing scalable and fully functional quantum nodes-comprising both processor and memory qubits with high-fidelity universal gate operations-remains a central challenge in th...

Plasma multi-omics signatures of the EAT-Lancet diet and associations with health outcomes

The EAT-Lancet diet aims to optimize human health and environmental sustainability, but the biological changes associated with this dietary pattern remain incompletely characterized. We aimed to identify plasma proteomic and metabolomic signatures associated with adherence to the...

A Carfentanil-Targeted Vaccine Adjuvanted with a Covalent TLR7/8 Agonist and a T-Helper Epitope Confers Protective Immunity against Carfentanil-Induced Effects

Abstract Carfentanil, an ultrapotent synthetic opioid, poses a severe public health threat because of its rapid brain penetration and potent activation of μ-opioid receptors. Conventional anti-drug vaccines are limited by the poor hapten immunogenicity and dominant anti-carrier i...

Oxygen-Deletion Skeletal Editing of Oxetanes to Cyclopropanes

Abstract Oxetanes and cyclopropanes are privileged small strained rings with widespread applications in molecular design. Conceptually, deletion of the oxygen atom from an oxetane would provide a direct route to cyclopropanes, but such a transformation has remained elusive. Here...

Error control for microbiome mediation analysis: benchmarking and remedy

Abstract Background Identifying microbial taxa that mediate the effects of exposures on health outcomes can elucidate causal pathways and suggest therapeutic targets. Microbiome sequencing typically measures relative abundances (RA) of taxa, while absolute abundances (AA)—often t...

Quantum noise spectroscopy of nanoscale charge defects in silicon carbide at room temperature

The nanoscale charge environment critically influences the performance of semiconductor devices, yet traditional characterization techniques usually lack the spatial resolution to resolve nanoscale charge heterogeneity and identify microscopic noise sources. Here, we address this...

Measurements of the production of W$$^{\pm }$$ and Z$$^0$$ bosons in pp collisions at $$\sqrt{s} = 13$$ TeV

Abstract Measurements of the production of the W $$^{\pm }$$ ± and Z $$^0$$ 0 bosons at midrapidity in pp collisions at $$\sqrt{s} = 13$$ s = 13 TeV with ALICE at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) are presented. The W $$^{\pm }$$ ± and Z $$^0$$ 0 bosons are detected via their (di)e...

Robust Quasi-Continuous-Wave Exciton–Polariton Lasing in Tin Halide Perovskite Nanowires under Ambient Conditions

Abstract Tin halide perovskites are promising lead-free optical gain media, yet stable quasi-continuous-wave/continuous-wave (quasi-CW/CW) lasing remains challenging under practical operating conditions. Here, we demonstrate robust quasi-CW lasing from single-crystalline CsSnBr3...

LukS-PV targets human C5aR1 to reprogram tumor-associated macrophages and potentiate immunotherapy in hepatocellular carcinoma

Abstract Background Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) benefit only a subset of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), largely because of an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment enriched with M2-like tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs). C5aR1 is highly expressed on HC...

Phase‐Engineered V‐Mo‐La Alloying Enables Room‐Temperature Activation and Highly Reversible Hydrogen Storage in TiFe‐Based Alloys

ABSTRACT TiFe‐based AB‐type alloys are among the most promising candidates for solid‐state hydrogen storage, offering high theoretical capacity, moderate plateau pressure, and low raw‐material cost from earth‐abundant constituents. However, their large‐scale deployment remains hi...

2D theoretically twistable material database

The study of twisted two-dimensional (2D) materials, in which twisting layers create moiré superlattices, has created opportunities for investigating topological phases and strongly correlated physics. The broader potential of a seemingly infinite set of twistable 2D materials re...

A Survey on Parallel Reasoning

Abstract As Large Language Models (LLMs) evolve, parallel reasoning has emerged as a vital inference paradigm that enhances robustness by concurrently exploring multiple thought trajectories. Unlike fragile sequential methods, parallel reasoning expands inference breadth to signi...

POCS: phased optimal client selection for federated learning

Abstract Traditional federated learning suffers from excessive communication overhead due to iterative model exchanges, long training time caused by data heterogeneity, and vulnerability to adversarial attacks due to gradient leakage risks. But if one strategically selects some s...

Technological Proximity and Dyadic Urban Coordination: Nonlinear Dynamics Across Chinese Cities

How technological proximity shapes inter-city coordination remains insufficiently understood, particularly when proximity may generate both learning gains and congestion costs. Using inter-city patent transfer records for 253 Chinese prefecture-level cities from 2014 to 2023 and...

Electron Regulation of Proton Cyclotron Waves at Mars

Abstract Proton cyclotron waves (PCWs), generated by the solar wind ionization and subsequent pickup of exospheric hydrogen, offer independent constraints on water loss from Mars. However, translating wave observations into quantitative escape rates has been hindered by an incomp...
