Cancer of unknown primary (CUP) tumors are biologically very heterogeneous, which complicates stratification of patients for treatment. Consequently, these patients face limited treatment options and a poor prognosis. With this study, we aim to expand on the current knowledge of CUP biology by analyzing two cohorts: a well‐characterized cohort of 44 CUP patients, and 213 metastatic patients with known primary. These cohorts were treated at the same institution and characterized by identical molecular assessments. Through comparative analysis of genomic and transcriptomic data, we found that CUP tumors were characterized by high expression of immune‐related genes and pathways compared to other metastatic tumors. Moreover, CUP tumors uniformly demonstrated high levels of tumor‐infiltrating leukocytes and circulating T cells, indicating a strong immune response. Finally, the genetic landscape of CUP tumors resembled that of other metastatic cancers and demonstrated mutations in established cancer genes. In conclusion, CUP tumors possess a distinct immunophenotype that distinguishes them from other metastatic cancers. These results may suggest an immune response in CUP that facilitates metastatic tumor growth while limiting growth of the primary tumor.

AbstractThe research explores new compounds with structures similar to square‐octagonal beryllium oxide, commonly known as Haeckelites. The goal is to identify semiconducting variations compounds that can be synthesized and show promising potential in optoelectronic devices. Start with 1083 binary Haeckelite structures, and to test the synthesis potential of these materials quickly, develop new descriptors and use machine learning techniques. As a result, it identifies a subset of 350 materials with suitable properties in terms of phase stability and electronic perspective. These materials are further investigated to analyze their electronic structure and phase stability, which are determined through density functional theory calculations. The phase stabilities of the predicted semiconducting Haeckelites are also compared to other binary compounds using an evolutionary structure search algorithm. The comprehensive methodology also includes examining the dynamic stabilities through phonon calculations and mechanical properties through elastic constant calculations. Eventually, 13 new Haeckelite compounds are discovered, demonstrating exceptional stability and performance in electronic tests. Among these compounds, eight have shown remarkable absorption coefficients and are considered promising candidates with high reflectivity. Additionally, they have exhibited high electron mobility. These findings strongly suggest the potential of these compounds for synthesis and their application in optoelectronic devices.

AbstractElectrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) provides a renewable approach to transform CO2 to produce chemicals and fuels. Unfortunately, it faces the challenges of sluggish CO2 activation and slow water dissociation. This study reports the modification of Bi‐based electrocatalyst by S, which leads to a remarkable enhancement in activity and selectivity during electrochemical CO2 reduction to formate. Based on comprehensive in situ examinations and kinetic evaluations, it is observed that the presence of S species over Bi catalyst can significantly enhance its interaction with K+(H2O)n, facilitating fast dissociation of water molecules to generate protons. Further in situ attenuated total reflectance surface‐enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopy (ATR‐SEIRAS) and in situ Raman spectroscopy measurements reveal that S modification is able to decrease the oxidation state of Bi active site, which can effectively enhance CO2 activation and facilitate HCOO* intermediate formation while suppressing competing hydrogen evolution reaction. Consequently, the S‐modified Bi catalyst achieves impressive electrochemical CO2RR performance, reaching a formate Faradaic efficiency (FEformate) of 91.2% at a formate partial current density of ≈135 mA cm−2 and a potential of −0.8 V versus RHE in an alkaline electrolyte.

AbstractExtensive research is being carried out on the degradation of water pollutants using various strategies to overcome the global water crisis. In the present study, xerogels as a better alternative is utilized to metal oxides for the photocatalytic degradation of toxic water pollutants such as dyes. Xerogels of polyaniline (PANI) and polypyrrole (PPy) are synthesized using phytic acid as a dopant as well as cross‐linker in the weight ratios of 1:1, 1:2, and 2:1 via simple chemical oxidative polymerization. The synthesized xerogels are analyzed for their spectral, morphological, thermal, and optical properties using FTIR, UV–vis, XRD, SEM, and TGA techniques. The xerogels are also tested for their photocatalytic activity against textile dyes – Methylene Blue (MB), Alizarin Red S, (ARS), Rhodamine B (RhB), and Methyl Orange (MO). Among all the composite xerogels, PANI/PPy‐2/1 showed excellent degradation efficiency of 91% for MB dye, 88% for RhB dye, 96% for ARS dye, and 92% for MO dye respectively. The composite PANI/PPy xerogels showed better degradation efficiency than their pristine counterparts. The fragments of the degraded dyes are examined using the LCMS technique and a tentative dye degradation mechanism is proposed.

AbstractMechanochemistry has developed rapidly in recent years for efficient chemicals and materials synthesis. Twin screw extrusion (TSE) is a particularly promising technique in this regard because of its continuous and scalable nature. A key aspect of TSE is that it provides high shear and mixing. Because of the high shear, it potentially also offers a way to delaminate 2‐D materials. Indeed, the synthesis of 2‐D materials in a scalable and continuous manor remains a challenge in their industrialization. Here, as a proof‐of‐principle, the automated, continuous mechanochemical exfoliation of graphite to give multi‐layer graphene (MLG, ≈6 layers) by TSE is demonstrated. To achieve this, a solid‐and‐liquid‐assisted extrusion (SLAE) process is developed in which organic additives such as pyrene are rendered liquid due to the high temperatures used, to assist with the exfoliation, and simultaneously solid sodium chloride is used as a grinding aid. This gave MLG in high yield (25 wt%) with a short residence time (8 min) and notably with negligible evidence for structural deterioration (defects or oxidation).

AbstractClutches are integral components in robotic systems, enabling programming of system stiffness and precise control over a wide range of motion types. While different types of clutches exist, electroadhesive (EA) clutches present several key advantages, such as flexibility, low mass, low power consumption, simplicity, and fast response. Achieving high EA stress in EA clutches has remained a challenge, however, necessitating high voltage input or a large contact area to achieve the desired force. In this work, an EA clutch is proposed with a high EA stress achieved by taking fracture mechanics into account and using a high dielectric composite layer while still maintaining a comparable high switching speed to other dielectric‐based EA clutches. The maximum EA stress is observed to be 108.8 N cm−2, which is four times larger than what has been reported previously among dielectric‐based EA clutches at room temperature. This high EA stress clutch can facilitate miniaturization and lower the operating voltage as well as extend to high load capacity applications. The proposed approach holds promise for advancements in various domains, including haptics (both kinesthetic and cutaneous), exoskeletons, walking robots, and other systems that require compliance, low mass, and precise force control.

AbstractUrine analysis stands as a critical diagnostic tool, offering insights into health and disease. However, current techniques demand sophisticated equipment or significant sample processing for urine examination, reducing their suitability for regular point‐of‐care assessments. This study introduces a novel multi‐component sensing platform to address these constraints. The proposed sensor array can detect sodium (Na+), potassium (K+), ammonium (NH4+), calcium (Ca++), chloride (Cl−), and pH levels, thus, enabling real‐time urine analysis. This sensing platform utilizes an extended gate (EG)‐field effect transistor (FET) design employing EG electrodes made of LASER engraved graphene on flexible Kapton substrates. These experimental findings from individual sensors demonstrate consistent linear responses to ion levels, discrimination of specific ions among interferences, and operational stability over time. Additionally, the six‐channel sensor array exhibits notable sensitivity and selectivity in a urine environment, effectively discerning various ions and pH, illustrating its efficacy for urine analysis and validating its potential for reliable point‐of‐care diagnostics.

Published: May 2024

Abstract2D organic crystals play a unique role in photodetection owing to their tunable detection wavelength, low manufacturing cost, compatibility with lightweight, and controllable synthesis. However, their detection wavelength range mainly encompasses the visible (Vis) and near‐infrared (NIR) spectra. Herein, 2D erucamide crystals are synthesized using nitrogen gas and methanol as raw materials without catalysts at room temperature under atmospheric pressure via laser processing. The synthesized 2D erucamide is demonstrated to be a promising broad bandgap organic semiconductor material. A UV photodetector made of 2D erucamide exhibited a responsivity as high as 145 mA W−1, a millisecond‐level response speed, and an excellent detectivity of 4.96 × 109 Jones. Furthermore, the synthesized erucamide showed an excellent UV–vis suppression ratio (R254 nm/R532 nm) of 59. The synthesis mechanism of erucamide via laser bubbling in liquids is proposed. Thermodynamically, the high temperature of the bubbles is beneficial for nitrogen and methanol decomposition. Kinetically, rapid bubble quenching facilitates final product formation. This accomplishment represented the pioneering utilization of lasers in converting nitrogen gas into organic compounds while introducing 2D erucamide into the realm of organic UV photodetectors.

AbstractLighting systems with circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) are an emerging field with high hopes in, for example, neural cell circuits and encoding applications. The major challenges that forfeits their real‐world application are i) the design of chiroptical materials (CMs) with high CPL brightness (BCPL; today's record is Eu‐based compounds with average 287 M−1cm−1, while 90% of other CMs show <150 M−1cm−1 in solution) and ii) how to keep CPL response in films/coatings of technological relevance. Since natural evolution is driven by chiral selectivity at the supramolecular level, fluorescent proteins (FPs) are ideal candidates to provide large BCPL spanning visible and near‐infrared regions. This hypothesis is confirmed for all the known FP classes, demonstrating high emission intensities (photoluminescence quantum yields (ϕ) up to 76%) and record average BCPL of |200| M−1cm−1 (solution). What is more, the CPL response is also kept in polymer coatings. It is rationalized that structural factors (chromophore rigidity, surrounding amino acids, supramolecular packaging, and exciton coupling) hold a significant influence, regardless of the ϕ values. Finally, proof‐of‐concept CPL‐encoded signals in monochromatic/white hybrid light‐emitting diodes with FP‐polymer filters show exceptional stabilities. Overall, this work stands out FPs toward a new CM family, in general, and biogenic CPL‐encoded lighting systems, in particular.

AbstractIn the realm of organic light‐emitting diode (OLED), through‐space charge transfer (TSCT) thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) emitters have demonstrated remarkable achievements. Nevertheless, realizing both deep‐blue emission and high efficiency by the TSCT strategy remains a persistent challenge. Here, the novel donor‐π‐donor‐σ‐acceptor (D‐π‐D‐σ‐A) type deep‐blue TSCT emitter, namely D‐tCz‐BO, is formulated to investigate its performance in OLED. D‐tCz‐BO show a narrow deep‐blue emission and efficient TADF character (λPL = 448, FWHM = 54 nm, ΦPL = 82%, and ΔEST = 0.09 eV). More importantly, the OLED based on D‐tCz‐BO as the emitter showed a maximum external quantum efficiency (EQEmax) of 20.5%, with a Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage (CIE) coordinate of (0.14, 0.12). This represents one of the best deep‐blue TSCT‐TADF emitters to date.
Dental sculpting and compensatory shearing crests demonstrated in a WEAR series of Presbytis rubicunda (Cercopithecoidea, Colobidae) with dental topography analysis

Published: May 2024

AbstractObjectivesMaintaining effective and efficient occlusal morphology presents adaptive challenges for mammals, particularly because mastication produces interactions with foods and other materials that alters the geometry of occlusal surfaces through macrowear and/or catastrophic failure (i.e. “chipping”). Altered occlusal morphologies are often less effective for masticating materials of given diet—but not always—some species exhibit dental sculpting, meaning their dentitions are set up to harness macrowear to hone their occlusal surfaces into more effective morphologies (i.e. secondary morphologies). Here we show that dental sculpting is present in the folivorous Presbytis rubicunda of Borneo.MethodsThirty‐one undamaged lower second molars of P. rubicunda exhibiting various stages of macroscopic wear were micro‐CT scanned and processed into digital surfaces. The surfaces were measured for convex Dirichlet normal energy (vDNE, a measure of surface sharpness), and degree of surface wear. Regression analyses compared surface sharpness with several measures of wear to test for the presence and magnitude of dental sculpting.ResultsPositive correlations between the wear proxies and vDNE reveal that P. rubicunda wear in such a way as to become sharper, and therefore more effective chewing surfaces by exposing enamel‐dentine junctions on their occlusal surfaces and then honing these junctions into sharpened edges. Compared to another primate folivore in which increasing surface sharpness with macrowear has been demonstrated (i.e., Alouatta palliata), the worn surfaces are similarly sharp, but the dental sculpting process appears to be different.DiscussionThe results presented here suggest that not only do some primates exhibit dental sculpting and the attendant secondary morphology, but that there appear to be multiple different morphological configurations that can achieve this result. P. rubicunda has thicker enamel and a more stereotyped wear pattern than A. palliata, although both show positive correlations of occlusal surface sharpness (vDNE) with various wear proxies. These findings shed light on the varied approaches for the maintenance of effective and efficient occlusal surfaces in primates.

AbstractGold nanoclusters exhibiting concomitant photothermy (PT) and photoluminescence (PL) under near‐infrared (NIR) light irradiation are rarely reported, and some fundamental issues remain unresolved for such materials. Herein, we concurrently synthesized two novel rod‐shaped Au nanoclusters, Au52(PET)32 and Au66(PET)38 (PET = 2‐phenylethanethiolate), and precisely revealed that their kernels were 4 × 4 × 6 and 5 × 4 × 6 face‐centered cubic (fcc) structures, respectively, based on the numbers of Au layers in the [100], [010], and [001] directions. Following the structural growth mode from Au52(PET)32 to Au66(PET)38, we predicted six more novel nanoclusters. The concurrent synthesis provides rational comparison of the two nanoclusters on the stability, absorption, emission and photothermy, and reveals the aspect ratio‐related properties. An interesting finding is that the two nanoclusters exhibit concomitant PT and PL under 785 nm light irradiation, and the PT and PL are in balance, which was explained by the qualitative evaluation of the radiative and non‐radiative rates. The ligand effects on PT and PL were also investigated.

Published: May 2024

AbstractSb2S3 has been extensively used as light absorber for photoelectrochemical cell. However, its p‐type nature may result in the formation of Schottky junction with substrates, thus hindering the collection of photogenerated holes. Herein, an ultrathin CuxS layer is successfully engineered as the bottom junction for Sb2S3 for the first time. Capitalizing on its impressive electrical properties and superior optical properties, the CuxS layer exhibits a high work function of 4.90 eV, which causes the upward band bending of p‐type Sb2S3, forming a hole‐transparent structure with ohmic contact. The transparency of the ultrathin CuxS layer enables back‐illumination of the Sb2S3/CuxS platform, facilitating the integration of intricate catalyst layers for photoelectrochemical transformation. When modified with Pt nanoparticles, the photocurrent density reaches −5.38 mA cm−2 at 0 V vs. RHE, marking a fourfold increase compared to the photocathode without CuxS layer. When introducing a molecular hybrid TC‐CoPc@carbon black, a remarkable average photocurrent density of −0.44 mA cm−2 at the overpotential of 0 V is obtained for CO2 reduction reaction, while the photocurrent density is less than −0.03 mA cm−2 without CuxS.

AbstractTo enhance the rapid switching ability of the boiler load and reduce NOx emissions, a new combustion system was implemented in a 600‐MWe wall‐fired boiler with swirl burners. This system included two levels of overfire air (OFA) and low NOx combustion technology. Industrial tests were conducted at 300‐, 450‐, and 600‐MWe loads before and after the retrofitted. These tests included measuring flue gas and furnace temperatures with thermocouples and analyzing local gas concentrations using a gas analyzer. The research results indicate that under conditions where the OFA ratio exceeds 30%, the burner exhibits good ignition performance at different loads. At the 600‐MWe load, the nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions were reduced by 55% compared to before the retrofit. After the retrofit, the flame center inside the furnace of different loads was located at the height of 33.36 m, the first and second‐stage cooling water quantities were slightly higher, the reheat cooling water quantity was greatly reduced after the retrofit, and contributes to the boiler's safe operation. Under different load conditions after the retrofit, the gas temperature near the sidewall was below 850°C, and the O2 concentration near the sidewall was above 5%, effectively suppressing sidewall high‐temperature corrosion and slagging.
