Direction-specific enhanced diffusion of CO2 in chiral hexagonal boron nitride nanotubes
Abstract To meet performance requirements, the next generation of gas separation membranes will need both high gas permea...
Deep tree roots at risk of accelerating groundwater pollution beneath clay-rich aquitards
Diverse configurations of binary asteroids explained by multi-generation satellites
A T7 RNAP regulatory toolbox for cell-free network engineering and biosensing applications
Abstract T7 RNA polymerase is ubiquitously used in the fields of synthetic biology and biotechnology. Yet the ability to precisely and modularly regulate T7 RNAP remains surprisingly...
Volatile self-selective memristive neuron for millisecond-latency neuromorphic object detection at the edge
Multimodal deep learning model for AI-based functional prognostic risk stratification in patients undergoing radical nephrectomy
Atomic-scale revelation of in situ reverse regulation from particles to clusters in the Ni/La-CeOx catalyst
Diffusion attention expert model for predicting and semi-automatic localizing STAS in lung cancer histopathological images
Nonlinear temperature change responses shape soil organic carbon loss-gain transitions in global Mollisol croplands
Early hexapod genomes reveal the deep origin of insect gustatory and odorant receptors
Meta-analysis reveals asymmetric root and microbial phenology shifts under global change
Chemical bonding concepts emerge naturally from maximally entangled atomic orbitals
Abstract Chemical bonding is a nonlocal phenomenon that binds atoms into molecules. Its ubiquitous presence in chemistry, however, stands in stark contrast to its ambiguous definitio...
Ice-sheet hydro-fracture not advanced inland by lower-elevation lake drainages in Kalaallit Nunaat
Abstract Drainage of supraglacial lakes via hydro-fracture is widely argued to be a mechanism for destabilization of grounded ice sheets under climate-warming scenarios because it ma...
4D metallic metamaterials for bone implants via biodegradation
Polyketide synthase-based controlled synthesis of polycyclopropanated fuel molecules
Abstract Reducing carbon emissions from aviation and long-distance transportation sectors requires the development of sustainable biofuels with suitable energy d...
Cuproptosis inducers mediate cold lethality via SLCR-46.1 in C. elegans
Muscle mitochondria, function, mass, and quality of life in prostate cancer during androgen deprivation therapy
Abstract Prostate cancer (PCa) negatively impacts muscle mass, physical function, and patient-reported outcomes (PROs), while androgen deprivation therapy (ADT)...
Single-nucleus analysis reveals human-specific oligodendrocyte polarization and conserved neuronal responses after severe traumatic brain injury
Explainable time-series forecasting with sampling-free SHAP for Transformers
Abstract Time-series forecasting is essential for planning and decision-making across domains, and model explainability is critical for fostering user trust and satisfying transparen...
Autoantibodies to IL-1Ra and PGRN in severe COVID-19 are associated with inflammation-induced hyperphosphorylated antigen isoforms
Abstract SARS-CoV-2 infection affects multiple immune mechanisms and leads to severe COVID-19 and death, in part related to infection-induced or pre-existing autoantibodies. Here, we...
Structural basis of chondroitin sulfate backbone polymer synthesis
Lifespan normative modeling of brain microstructure
Functional modules for enhanced amorphous composite halide solid electrolytes for low-temperature all-solid-state lithium batteries
Abstract Solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) are the essential component of all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs). Designing better SSEs holds the key to the success of...
Gaps and drivers of global marine animal biodiversity from the surface to abyss
Abstract With advances in global biodiversity data sharing, particularly following the Census of Marine Life, understanding of marine biodiversity has improved but remains incomplete...
Critical misalignments in climate pledges reveal imbalanced sustainable development pathways
Abstract We explore the integration of climate action and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the first two submissions of nationally determined contributions (NDCs) using an AI-...
