Research engagement profiles among Chinese undergraduate and postgraduate students

Research engagement is increasingly recognized as an important component of student development in higher education, particularly in medical and health sciences disciplines, but it is often measured through isolated activities or publication status alone. This study examined rese...

Redox‐Mediated Ligand Exfoliation Enables High‐Density Single‐Site Molecular Catalysts for CO 2 Electroreduction

ABSTRACT Conventional strategies for fabricating single‐site electrocatalysts often suffer from metal aggregation and insufficient exposure of active sites, limiting their efficiency in CO 2 electroreduction. Here we present a redox‐mediated ligand exfoliation method to construct...

NanomagnetitePromotes Sub-Thermophilic AnaerobicDigestion by Enhancing Electron Transfer and Electron Bifurcation

Abstract Subthermophilic anaerobic digestion accelerates hydrolytic acidification to boost methane production, yet this temperature range can suppress methanogenic activity, thereby leading to a kinetic mismatch between rapid substrate influx and limited methanogenic conversion....

Dehydration-induced CN- defects enable adaptive water regulation in Prussian blue cathodes for high-performance sodium-ion batteries

Abstract Prussian blue analogues have emerged as a promising cathode material owing to their open‑framework structure and high theoretical capacities; however, the presence and dynamic evolution of crystalline water severely constrain their electrochemical performance. Despite ex...

Evolution of the Mechanical Properties of Recycled Glass Fibers During Pyrolysis–Oxidation of Waste Wind Turbine Blades

ABSTRACT Pyrolysis is a promising route for recycling decommissioned wind turbine blades, but resin‐derived residues and thermal exposure can damage recovered glass fibers. This study investigated the surface morphology, fracture characteristics, and mechanical‐property evolution...

Allosterically Controlled Capture of Mutually Repulsive Guests With Positive Cooperativity and Ultrahigh Affinity

ABSTRACT A hexacationic cage incorporating three urea units can encapsulate two mutually repulsive anions in close proximity through a combination of hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions. This leads to exceptionally high binding affinities, with a K 1 × K 2 value of ap...

Draft Tube Wake Vortex Evolution and Suppression in a Pump as Turbine with Splitter Blades Based on a Modified Burgers Vortex Model

Owing to its efficient energy recovery capability, the pump as turbine (PAT) has attracted considerable attention and has been widely applied in micro hydropower systems. However, under off-design conditions, large-scale helical vortex ropes are readily induced in the draft tube,...

Deformation behavior of plastic-metal hybrid components for optical image stabilization: from injection molding to thermal processing

Abstract Micro-structured plastic-metal hybrid (MPMH) components fabricated by insert injection molding are widely used in miniaturized optical modules because of their structural integration and multifunctional performance. However, the multi-stage processes from injection moldi...
