AbstractThis work demonstrates the low‐temperature operation of solid‐state lithium metal batteries (LMBs) through the development of a fluorinated and plastic‐crystal‐embedded elastomeric electrolyte (F‐PCEE). The F‐PCEE is formed via polymerization‐induced phase separation between the polymer matrix and plastic crystal phase, offering a high mechanical strain (≈300%) and ionic conductivity (≈0.23 mS cm−1) at −10 °C. Notably, strong phase separation between two phases leads to the selective distribution of lithium (Li) salts within the plastic crystal phase, enabling superior elasticity and high ionic conductivity at low temperatures. The F‐PCEE in a Li/LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 full cell maintains 74.4% and 42.5% of discharge capacity at −10 °C and −20 °C, respectively, compared to that at 25 °C. Furthermore, the full cell exhibits 85.3% capacity retention after 150 cycles at −10 °C and a high cut‐off voltage of 4.5 V, representing one of the highest cycling performances among the reported solid polymer electrolytes for low‐temperature LMBs. This work attributes the prolonged cycling lifetime of F‐PCEE at −10 °C to the great mechanical robustness to suppress the Li‐dendrite growth and ability to form superior LiF‐rich interphases. This study establishes the design strategies of elastomeric electrolytes for developing solid‐state LMBs operating at low temperatures and high voltages.

Published: May 2024

AbstractIntegrating multiple single‐cell datasets is essential for the comprehensive understanding of cell heterogeneity. Batch effect is the undesired systematic variations among technologies or experimental laboratories that distort biological signals and hinder the integration of single‐cell datasets. However, existing methods typically rely on a selected dataset as a reference, leading to inconsistent integration performance using different references, or embed cells into uninterpretable low‐dimensional feature space. To overcome these limitations, a reference‐free method, Beaconet, for integrating multiple single‐cell transcriptomic datasets in original molecular space by aligning the global distribution of each batch using an adversarial correction network is presented. Through extensive comparisons with 13 state‐of‐the‐art methods, it is demonstrated that Beaconet can effectively remove batch effect while preserving biological variations and is superior to existing unsupervised methods using all possible references in overall performance. Furthermore, Beaconet performs integration in the original molecular feature space, enabling the characterization of cell types and downstream differential expression analysis directly using integrated data with gene‐expression features. Additionally, when applying to large‐scale atlas data integration, Beaconet shows notable advantages in both time‐ and space‐efficiencies. In summary, Beaconet serves as an effective and efficient batch effect removal tool that can facilitate the integration of single‐cell datasets in a reference‐free and molecular feature‐preserved mode.

AbstractDNA nanostructures exhibit versatile geometries and possess sophisticated capabilities not found in other nanomaterials. They serve as customizable nanoplatforms for orchestrating the spatial arrangement of molecular components, such as biomolecules, antibodies, or synthetic nanomaterials. This is achieved by incorporating oligonucleotides into the design of the nanostructure. In the realm of drug delivery to cancer cells, there is a growing interest in active targeting assays to enhance efficacy and selectivity. The active targeting approach involves a “key‐lock” mechanism where the carrier, through its ligand, recognizes specific receptors on tumor cells, facilitating the release of drugs. Various DNA nanostructures, including DNA origami, Tetrahedral, nanoflower, cruciform, nanostar, nanocentipede, and nanococklebur, can traverse the lipid layer of the cell membrane, allowing cargo delivery to the nucleus. Aptamers, easily formed in vitro, are recognized for their targeted delivery capabilities due to their high selectivity for specific targets and low immunogenicity. This review provides a comprehensive overview of recent advancements in the formation and modification of aptamer‐modified DNA nanostructures within drug delivery systems.

AbstractThe distinctive properties of topological semimetals, including linear band dispersion and compensated electron‐hole carriers, have positioned these materials at the forefront of research in power generation and solid‐state cooling due to their remarkable magneto‐thermoelectric performance. In this work, the transverse thermoelectric characteristics of the topological semimetal NbAs2 are studied. Specifically, under a magnetic field of 9 T, the Nernst coefficient displays a linear and unsaturated trend, reaching a peak of 600 µV K−1 at 35 K. Consequently, this engenders a substantial transverse power factor (tPF) of 850 µW cm−1 K−2 under a 5 T magnetic field. The exceptional attributes of NbAs2 driven by its remarkably high carrier mobility and compensated electron‐hole concentration near the Fermi level are revealed by band structure analysis based on theoretical calculations and quantum oscillations. This work not only underscores the immense potential of topological semimetals as transverse thermoelectric materials for niche applications where magnetic fields exist but also provides valuable guidance for the discovery and optimization of topological materials for promising thermoelectric performance.
Spatial ecology and thermal preferences of muskellunge within a Midwest impoundment
Authors: Bieber John F. , Suski Cory D. 
Published: May 2024

AbstractMuskellunge are a valuable sportfish species which has been stocked throughout North America. Stocking is a strategy to generate angling opportunities by introducing species to waterbodies that otherwise would not have contained the fish, such as impoundments and reservoirs. Therefore, understanding the ways fish interact with different waterbodies is critical for managers to understand. To that end, we utilized a year‐long passive telemetry study with muskellunge in a reservoir known for its muskellunge angling. Additionally, we employed temperature loggers to track lake temperatures. We found that smaller female muskellunge were more resident at sites compared to similar‐sized males, although fish did not exhibit site‐specific preferences. We also found that fish moved high distances over the course of the year without time‐specific differences. Furthermore, we found evidence that muskellunge was selected for thermal refuges in the reservoir; however, in summer, when water temperatures were elevated, fish inhabited water, which has been shown to increase incidental mortality. The results of this study indicate a need for muskellunge managers, especially in reservoirs, to consider water temperature in angling regulations. Additionally, our results highlight a need for adding habitat structure in reservoirs and altering stocking densities of fish. Collectively, these results will help inform managers on muskellunge spatial interactions within a reservoir and achieve management goals.

AbstractViologen, as a type of strong electron acceptor, is prone to undergo electron transfer (ET) and change color under external stimuli. However, due to the easy aggregation of viologen molecules, they usually suffer from poor fluorescence emission in the condensed phase. Herein, a new viologen derivative of VioCl2·2Cl (12+·2Cl) was designed and synthesized, in which the fluorescence was enhanced by introducing Me‐β‐CD to weaken the interactions between viologen molecules. Then a viologen‐based host–guest supramolecule of 12+@Me‐β‐CD was obtained by electrostatic interactions. Photo‐/chemo‐responded guest 12+ supplies 12+@Me‐β‐CD, a green and dark purple caused by intramolecular and intermolecular ET. Furthermore, 12+@Me‐β‐CD displays an additional thermal responsive purple color. The triple chromic behaviors all exhibit excellent reversibility and cycling stability. As expected, 12+@Me‐β‐CD exhibits strong photoluminescence (PL) in solid–liquid dual states, presenting an improved quantum yield (Φ) from 12+ (Φs = 0.37%, Φl = 16.74%) to 12+@Me‐β‐CD (Φs = 10.45%, Φl = 25.86%), and the fluorescence intensity can be dynamically modulated by light, heat, and acid/base vapors. The multi‐responsive chromism and tunable fluorescence of 12+@Me‐β‐CD allow for potential applications in information security and smart windows.

AbstractLattice mismatch significantly influences microscopic transport in semiconducting devices, affecting interfacial charge behavior and device efficacy. This atomic‐level disordering, often overlooked in previous research, is crucial for device efficiency and lifetime. Recent studies have highlighted emerging challenges related to lattice mismatch in perovskite solar cells, especially at heterojunctions, revealing issues like severe tensile stress, increased ion migration, and reduced carrier mobility. This review systematically discusses the effects of lattice mismatch on strain, material stability, and carrier dynamics. It also includes detailed characterizations of these phenomena and summarizes current strategies including epitaxial growth and buffer layer, as well as explores future solutions to mitigate mismatch‐induced issues. We also provide the challenges and prospects for lattice mismatch, aiming to enhance the efficiency and stability of perovskite solar cells, and contribute to renewable energy technology advancements.

Published: May 2024

AbstractDirect interspecies electron transfer (DIET) is essential for maintaining the function and stability of anaerobic microbial consortia. However, only limited natural DIET modes have been identified and DIET engineering remains highly challenging. In this study, an unnatural DIET between Shewanella oneidensis MR‐1 (SO, electron donating partner) and Rhodopseudomonas palustris (RP, electron accepting partner) was artificially established by a facile living cell‐cell click chemistry strategy. By introducing alkyne‐ or azide‐modified monosaccharides onto the cell outer surface of the target species, precise covalent connections between different species in high proximity were realized through a fast click chemistry reaction. Remarkably, upon covalent connection, outer cell surface C‐type cytochromes mediated DIET between SO and RP was achieved and identified, although this was never realized naturally. Moreover, this connection directly shifted the natural H2 mediated interspecies electron transfer (MIET) to DIET between SO and RP, which delivered superior interspecies electron exchange efficiency. Therefore, this work demonstrated a naturally unachievable DIET and an unprecedented MIET shift to DIET accomplished by cell‐cell distance engineering, offering an efficient and versatile solution for DIET engineering, which extends our understanding of DIET and opens up new avenues for DIET exploration and applications.

AbstractInterfacial engineering of perovskite films has been the main strategies in improving the efficiency and stability of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). In this study, three new donor‐acceptor (D–A)‐type interfacial dipole (DAID) molecules with hole‐transporting and different anchoring units are designed and employed in PSCs. The formation of interface dipoles by the DAID molecules on the perovskite film can efficiently modulate the energy level alignment, improve charge extraction, and reduce non‐radiative recombination. Among the three DAID molecules, TPA‐BAM with amide group exhibits the best chemical and optoelectrical properties, achieving a champion PCE of 25.29 % with the enhanced open‐circuit voltage of 1.174 V and fill factor of 84.34 %, due to the reduced defect density and improved interfacial hole extraction. Meanwhile, the operational stability of the unencapsulated device has been significantly improved. Our study provides a prospect for rationalized screening of interfacial dipole materials for efficient and stable PSCs.
A Cages‐on‐Cluster Structure Constructed by Post‐Clustering Covalent Modifications and Guest‐Enabled Stimuli‐Responsive Luminescence

Published: May 2024

AbstractA gold(I)‐cluster‐based twin‐cage has been constructed by post‐clustering covalent modification of a hexa‐aldehyde cluster precursor with triaminotriethylamines. The cages‐on‐cluster structure has double cavities and four binding sites, which show site‐discriminative binding for silver(I) and copper(I) guests. The guests in the tripodal hats affect the luminescence of the cluster: the tetra‐silver(I) host–guest complex is weakly red‐emissive, while the bis‐copper(I)‐bis‐silver(I) one is non‐emissive but is a stimuli‐responsive supramolecule. The copper(I) ion inside the tri‐imine cavity is oxidation sensitive, which enables the release of the bright emissive precursor cluster triggered by H2O2 solution. The hybridization of a cluster with cavities to construct a cluster‐based cage presents an innovative concept for functional cluster design, and the post‐clustering covalent modification opens up new avenues for finely tuning the properties of clusters.

Abstract

Long‐term biodiversity monitoring is crucial for freshwater ecosystems as it enables the detection of even subtle changes and biodiversity trends, guiding conservation efforts and ensuring the sustainability of these vital habitats. Despite becoming more commonly considered in the field of freshwater ecology and biological invasions, studies using long‐term time series from Türkiye's freshwater resources have remained scarce.
To assess the availability of data and ultimately present a baseline for future efforts, we combined published museum records and samples from recent field studies from the highly anthropogenically‐altered Lake Bafa in Western Anatolia covering the period 1958–2019.
Lake Bafa has a very diverse aquatic ecosystem, providing habitat for both freshwater and saltwater species, and is one of the allottees in Türkiye's inland fish production. In the current study, we investigated how fish populations in Lake Bafa were affected by environmental changes and examined changes in taxonomic and functional diversity of non‐native species over time.
The analyses revealed—concomitant to an increase in native marine and freshwater species richness—an increase in non‐native species richness over time. Non‐native species did not interfere with native species' niche space, whereas applied models indicate that in this highly altered ecosystem, foremost temperature and salinity shaped the fish community over time, limiting the impacts of non‐native species.
These results have implications for the fishery of the lake, which includes highly valuable catadromous fish species, highlighting the value and importance of collecting long‐term data in Türkiye to better understand both invasion dynamics and changes in the naturality of Turkish ecosystems. These findings further underline the importance of long‐term data to create new management strategies for the lake and to start restoration processes, thus improving fisheries management.

Published: May 2024

AbstractZinc polycarboxylate cement is one of the few dental materials that demonstrate true adhesion to tooth structure. It is suitable for use in living organisms without causing harm. Its strong adhesion to teeth and low level of irritancy are two important parameters for the dental applications. In this study, the dosimetry properties of zinc polycarboxylate cement using thermoluminescence (TL) method were investigated and determined the effectiveness of its use as a good dosimeter. According to the results of this study, the sample shows a good TL properties with three main peaks found around 140°C, 220°C and 330°C. It has a wide linear dose response between 72 Gy and 2.3 kGy and good reusability of the TL peak found at 330°C. Unfortunately, the TL peak intensity values are rapidly faded within a short waiting time interval. Zinc polycarboxylate cement, which is frequently used in dental crowns, can be used as a retrospective dosimeter for measuring the amount of radiation in space studies and nuclear accidents due to its wide linear dose–response curve in the high dose region.

Published: May 2024

AbstractSolanum nigrum is a common weed in arable land, while being used in traditional medicine around the world due to its remarkable levels of valuable secondary metabolites. Agronomic and biological techniques can alter the production of a specific metabolite by influencing plant growth and metabolism. The effects of colonization with three arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), including Funneliformis mosseae, Rhizoglomus intraradices, and Rhizoglomus fasciculatum, on the chemical composition of S. nigrum fruits were evaluated by gas chromatography‐mass spectrometry (GC‐MS) analysis. More than 100 different chemical constituents were evaluated by GC‐MS. Our study revealed that the levels of phenols (quinic acid), benzenes (hydroquinone), sulfur‐containing compounds, lactone and carboxylic acids were improved by R. intraradices. In contrast, hydroxymethylfurfural increased by 68 % in R. fasciculatum inoculated with uninoculated S. nigrum plants, and this species was also the most efficient in inducing sugar compounds (D‐galactose, lactose, and melezitose). Our results suggest that AMF colonization is an effective biological strategy that can alter the chemical composition and improve the medicinal properties of S. nigrum.

AbstractBackgroundThe BIONYX randomized trial is the first study to evaluate the Resolute Onyx durable polymer‐coated zotarolimus‐eluting stent (ZES) in all‐comers. Furthermore, it is the first trial to assess safety and efficacy of this stent versus the Orsiro biodegradable‐polymer sirolimus‐eluting stent (SES) in all‐comers, paying particular attention to patients with diabetes. It has previously shown promising results until 3 years of follow‐up.AimsWe aimed to assess long‐term clinical outcome after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with Onyx ZES versus Orsiro SES at 5‐year follow‐up.MethodsThe main composite endpoint was target vessel failure (TVF): cardiac death, target vessel myocardial infarction, or target vessel revascularization. Time to primary and secondary endpoints was assessed using Kaplan–Meier methods, applying the log‐rank test for between‐group comparison.ResultsFollow‐up was available in 2414/2488 (97.0%) patients. After 5 years, TVF showed no significant difference between Onyx ZES and Orsiro SES (12.7% vs. 13.7%, hazard ratio [HR] 0.94, 95% confidence interval [CI] [0.75–1.17], plog‐rank = 0.55). Landmark analysis between 3‐ and 5‐year follow‐up found a lower target lesion revascularization rate for Onyx ZES (1.1% vs. 2.4%, HR 0.47, 95% CI [0.24–0.93], plog‐rank = 0.026). A prespecified subgroup analysis showed no significant between‐stent difference in clinical outcome among patients with diabetes. After treatment with Onyx ZES, patients aged ≥75 years had significantly lower rates of TVF (13.8% vs. 21.9%, HR 0.60, 95% CI [0.39–0.93], plog‐rank = 0.023).ConclusionsThe final 5‐year analysis of the randomized BIONYX trial showed favorable and similar long‐term outcomes of safety and efficacy for Onyx ZES and Orsiro SES in both all‐comers and patients with diabetes.
