Early Emergence of Cultural Differences in Audiovisual Speech Perception

Integrating auditory and visual cues is a hallmark of human speech perception, yet adults from East Asian backgrounds show less reliance on visual speech than their Western counterparts. The origins of this cultural difference, however, remain unknown. To investigate whether this...

Efficient Waveform Capture without Absorption with Synthesis of Complex Frequencies

Abstract An optical waveform can be synthesized using complex-frequency waves as well as real-frequency harmonic waves. While a single complex-frequency wave with exponentially rising waveform can be perfectly absorbed in lossless structures. Here, we propose that diverse optical...

Hole-extraction embedded ultrathin donor realized highly homogenized dense self-assembled monolayers enabling organic photovoltaic modules with a certified efficiency of 16.1%

Abstract Achieving uniform, large-area interfacial layers remain a definitive barrier to the scalable manufacturing of solution-processed organic photovoltaics (OPVs). Conventional self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) frequently suffer from stochastic aggregation and incomplete cover...

Molecular Bridging of Ceramic–Polymer Interfaces Enables Fast Ion Transport and Long‐Life Solid‐State Lithium Metal Batteries

ABSTRACT Composite solid electrolytes (CSEs) are promising for high‐energy solid‐state lithium metal batteries, yet weakly coupled ceramic/polymer interfaces often induce filler aggregation, interfacial defects, and discontinuous Li + transport. Here, we establish a molecular‐bri...

Blue Light‐Induced C─X Insertion and Halogenation Reaction of 3‐Diazo‐3H‐Indoles With Halohydrocarbons

Visible light-induced free carbene transfer reactions have attracted much attention over the past decades. Whereas photoinduced C─X insertion and halogenation reactions with halohydrocarbons are rare due to many other competitive carbene transformations. Herein, we disclose a blu...

Dynamic Photoexcited Oxygen Vacancies beyond Static Defects Achieve 1.66 V Zn‐Air Battery

ABSTRACT Oxygen vacancies are widely introduced into electrocatalysts to boost the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in Zn‐air batteries, yet their dynamic behavior under operando illumination remains largely unexplored. Herein, we demonstrate that initial synthetic oxygen vacancie...

Phosphine-Mediated Photocatalytic Defluorinative Reductive Coupling of Alkynes and Trifluoromethyl Alkenes

Abstract The reductive coupling of alkynes and alkenes has emerged as a straightforward protocol for C–C bond formation from readily available feedstocks. Herein, we report a phosphine-mediated photocatalytic defluorinative reductive coupling of alkynes and trifluoromethyl alkene...

Base-modified aptamer-DAPI probe for label-free detection of doxorubicin in dairy and serum samples

Doxorubicin is an important chemotherapeutic agent, making its sensitive detection essential for therapeutic monitoring and food safety assessment. Although DNA aptamers exhibit high affinity and specificity toward doxorubicin, the absence of well-defined structural motifs often...

DOF Transcription Factors: Regulatory Hubs Coordinating Plant Growth, Development and Stress Tolerance

Abstract Under global climate warming, plants evolve unique growth and developmental strategies to cope with frequent abiotic stresses. The plant-specific DNA-BINDING WITH ONE FINGER (DOF) transcription factors (TFs) originated in green algae and are phylogenetically divided into...

Self‐Compassion and Psychological Resilience Serially Mediate the Relationship Between Parent–Adolescent Cohesion and Depressive Symptoms in Adolescents

ABSTRACT Despite the well‐documented buffering effect of parent–adolescent cohesion on depressive symptoms, relatively little is known about the potential mediating roles of self‐compassion and psychological resilience in this relationship. This present study examined a serial me...

Diverse microbial communities support multiple patterns of functional redundancy in tidal flats across the Chinese coastline

Tidal flats are critical transitional ecosystems in which microbial communities drive essential biogeochemical processes while adapting to strong environmental fluctuations. However, the mechanisms by which these communities maintain functional stability in highly dynamic tidal-f...

FOXD3 Is Functionally Linked to NF-κB Signaling in KRAS G12C-Mutant NSCLC Cells

KRAS G12C mutation is a clinically relevant driver in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), yet the signaling networks that modulate malignant behavior in this context remain incompletely defined. In this study, we examined the functional role of FOXD3 and its relationship with NF-...

MOF‐Derived Cu‐TiO 2 /Alginate Micromotors for Buoyancy‐Regulated 3D Motion

ABSTRACT Micro‐ and nanomotors (MNMs) promise impact in the areas of environmental remediation and biomedicine, but reliable three‐dimensional (3D) control remains challenging. Conventional bubble‐propelled MNMs can move in 3D, yet their trajectories are stochastic and energy‐ine...

Life Cycle Assessment of Synergistic Technologies for Pollution and Carbon Reduction in Cotton Knitted Fabric Dyeing and Finishing: A Case Study of Zhejiang Province, China

The textile dyeing and printing (TDP) industry in Zhejiang Province faces significant pressure to reduce conventional pollutants and carbon emissions. Dyeing and finishing (DF) are key links in energy consumption and pollutant emissions in the TDP industry. However, the trade-off...

Melanins Enhance Radical Scavenging Through Wavelength‐Selective Excited‐State Manifold Diversity

ABSTRACT Melanin is a ubiquitous pigment that mitigates photoinduced damage in biological systems through light absorption, heat dissipation, and radical scavenging. While these functions have traditionally been considered independent, recent studies suggest that they may be intr...
