Published: June 2023

AbstractDifficult childhood experiences can lead to the development of early maladaptive schemas (EMS) that cause emotional and behavioral problems later in life. The present study examined the role of cognitive distortions in mediating relationships between EMS and aggression in adults as a function of sex. Participants were 59 women (Mage = 34.7 years, standard deviation [SD] = 8.0) and 86 men (Mage = 39.3 years, SD = 13.2) who completed the Young Schema Questionnaire—Short Form‐V3, the How I Think Questionnaire of cognitive distortions, and the Buss–Warren Aggression Questionnaire. Multiple mediation analysis identified EMS domain impaired limits to be uniquely and directly related to aggression, and the domain impaired autonomy to be indirectly related via a range of cognitive distortions. Multigroup analyses revealed no sex differences in these relationships, and analysis of covariance with age as a covariate revealed no sex differences in levels of EMS, cognitive distortion, or aggression. The results suggest that impaired limits and impaired autonomy are EMS domains of relevance to aggression regardless of sex. Furthermore, in the case of impaired autonomy, self‐serving, proaggression cognitive distortions appear to be involved. Interventions for aggression may thus benefit by focusing on clients with entitlement/grandiosity traits indicative of impaired limits, and vulnerability/dependence traits indicative of impaired autonomy, and in the latter case consider addressing the self‐serving cognitions that enable the expression of aggression in these clients.

AbstractNeuromorphic computing has been attracting ever‐increasing attention due to superior energy efficiency, with great promise to promote the next wave of artificial general intelligence in the post‐Moore era. Current approaches are, however, broadly designed for stationary and unitary assignments, thus encountering reluctant interconnections, power consumption, and data‐intensive computing in that domain. Reconfigurable neuromorphic computing, an on‐demand paradigm inspired by the inherent programmability of brain, can maximally reallocate finite resources to perform the proliferation of reproducibly brain‐inspired functions, highlighting a disruptive framework for bridging the gap between different primitives. Although relevant research has flourished in diverse materials and devices with novel mechanisms and architectures, a precise overview remains blank and urgently desirable. Herein, the recent strides along this pursuit are systematically reviewed from material, device, and integration perspectives. At the material and device level, one comprehensively conclude the dominant mechanisms for reconfigurability, categorized into ion migration, carrier migration, phase transition, spintronics, and photonics. Integration‐level developments for reconfigurable neuromorphic computing are also exhibited. Finally, a perspective on the future challenges for reconfigurable neuromorphic computing is discussed, definitely expanding its horizon for scientific communities.

AbstractSpin–orbit torques generated by a spin current are key to magnetic switching in spintronic applications. The polarization of the spin current dictates the direction of switching required for energy‐efficient devices. Conventionally, the polarizations of these spin currents are restricted to be along a certain direction due to the symmetry of the material allowing only for efficient in‐plane magnetic switching. Unconventional spin–orbit torques arising from novel spin current polarizations, however, have the potential to switch other magnetization orientations such as perpendicular magnetic anisotropy, which is desired for higher density spintronic‐based memory devices. Here, it is demonstrated that low crystalline symmetry is not required for unconventional spin–orbit torques and can be generated in a nonmagnetic high symmetry material, iridium dioxide (IrO2), using epitaxial design. It is shown that by reducing the relative crystalline symmetry with respect to the growth direction large unconventional spin currents can be generated and hence spin–orbit torques. Furthermore, the spin polarizations detected in (001), (110), and (111) oriented IrO2 thin films are compared to show which crystal symmetries restrict unconventional spin transport. Understanding and tuning unconventional spin transport generation in high symmetry materials can provide a new route towards energy‐efficient magnetic switching in spintronic devices.

Published: June 2023

AbstractIncreasing sulfur mass loading and minimizing electrolyte amount remains a major challenge for the development of high‐energy‐density Li–S batteries, which needs to be tackled with combined efforts of materials development and mechanistic analysis. This work, following the same team's most recent identification of the potential‐limiting step of Li–S batteries under lean electrolyte conditions, seeks to advance the understanding by extending it to a new catalyst and into the high‐sulfur‐mass‐loading region. CeOx nanostructures are integrated into cotton‐derived carbon to develop a multifunctional 3D network that can host a large amount of active material, facilitate electron transport, and catalyze the sulfur lithiation reaction. The resulting S/CeOx/C electrode can deliver a stable areal capacity of 9 mAh cm−2 with a high sulfur loading of 14 mg cm−2 at a low electrolyte/sulfur ratio of 5 µL mg−1. This study discovers that Li||S/CeOx/C cells usually fail during charging at high current density, as a consequence of local short circuiting caused by electrochemically deposited Li dendrites penetrating through the separator, a previously overlooked failure pattern distinctive to cells operating under lean electrolyte conditions. This work highlights the importance of developing new material structures and analyzing failure mechanisms in the advancement of Li–S batteries.

AbstractThe discovery of a novel long‐lived metastable skyrmion phase in the multiferroic insulator Cu2OSeO3 visualized with Lorentz transmission electron microscopy for magnetic fields below the equilibrium skyrmion pocket is reported. This phase can be accessed by exciting the sample non‐adiabatically with near‐infrared femtosecond laser pulses and cannot be reached by any conventional field‐cooling protocol, referred as a hidden phase. From the strong wavelength dependence of the photocreation process and via spin‐dynamics simulations, the magnetoelastic effect is identified as the most likely photocreation mechanism. This effect results in a transient modification of the magnetic free energy landscape extending the equilibrium skyrmion pocket to lower magnetic fields. The evolution of the photoinduced phase is monitored for over 15 min and no decay is found. Because such a time is much longer than the duration of any transient effect induced by a laser pulse in a material, it is assumed that the newly discovered skyrmion state is stable for practical purposes, thus breaking ground for a novel approach to control magnetic state on demand at ultrafast timescales and drastically reducing heat dissipation relevant for next‐generation spintronic devices.

Published: June 2023

AbstractAn enantioselective C−P bond formation has been developed through a C(sp3)−H activation in an oxidation step followed by an organocatalyzed hydrophosphonylation protocol. The asymmetric organocatalytic Pudovik reaction has been achieved following a one‐pot strategy, starting from different benzylic and allylic alcohols and dibenzyl phosphite, using MnO2 as the oxidant and a chiral squaramide as organocatalyst. The scope of the reaction provides enantiomerically enriched α‐hydroxy phosphonates with yields from 40% to >95% and enantioselectivities from 64% to >99%. Furthermore, the use of this methodology has been demonstrated to form a tetrasubstituted carbon stereocenter, generating an acetophenone derivative in situ, using diphenyl phosphite. Therefore, this approach represents an asymmetric strategy for constructing chiral C−P bonds, which are of interest to the pharmaceutical industry.

AbstractUltraviolet (UV) communication is a cutting‐edge technology in communication battlefields, and self‐powered photodetectors as their optical receivers hold great potential. However, suboptimal charge utilization has largely limited the further performance enhancement of self‐powered photodetectors for high‐throughput communication application. Herein, a self‐powered Ti3C2Tx‐hybrid poly(3,4 ethylenedioxythiophene):poly‐styrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS)/ZnO (TPZ) photodetector is designed, which aims to boost charge utilization for desirable applications. The device takes advantage of photothermal effect to intensify pyro‐photoelectric effect as well as the increased conductivity of the PEDOT:PSS, which significantly facilitated charge separation, accelerated charge transport, and suppressed interface charge recombination. Consequently, the self‐powered TPZ photodetector exhibits superior comprehensive performance with high responsivity of 12.3 mA W−1 and fast response time of 62.2 µs, together with outstanding reversible and stable cyclic operation. Furthermore, the TPZ photodetector has been successfully applied in an integrated UV communication system as the self‐powered optical receiver capable of real‐time high‐throughput information transmission with ASCII code under 9600 baud rate. This work provides the design insight of highly performing self‐powered photodetectors to achieve high‐efficiency optical communication in the future.
A vision of precision agriculture: Balance between agricultural sustainability and environmental stewardship
Authors: Nath Soumitra 
Published: June 2023

AbstractPrecision agriculture (PA) has become an increasingly popular approach to sustainable intensification in agriculture, with the intent of a balance between agricultural productivity and environmental stewardship. Sustainable intensification aims to increase agricultural productivity while minimizing negative environmental impacts. To assist this, PA has been enabled through the use of advanced technologies such as the Internet of Things, global positioning system, geographic information systems, sensors, drones, and machine learning. These technologies have enabled farmers to practice more efficient and precise farming techniques. This review provides a vision of sustainable intensification and explores the potential of PA to contribute to this goal. This review emphasizes various PA practices, such as precise irrigation and fertilizer management, accurate pest and disease management, and precise livestock farming. PA is also explored for its role in addressing climate change through mitigation and adaptation, while proactively addressing the barriers and challenges that may arise in implementing sustainable PA. Therefore, the future of sustainable precision agriculture lies in technological innovation, sustainable farming practices, data analytics, and policy interventions.

AbstractAneurysmal coronary artery disease (ACAD) has been reported rarely in patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), mostly in adults. We report on a female newborn affected by NF1 with ACAD disclosed during investigation for an abnormal prenatal ultrasound along with a review of the previously reported cases. The proposita had multiple café‐au‐lait spots and had no cardiac symptoms. Echocardiography, and cardiac computed tomography angiography confirmed aneurysms on the left coronary artery, left anterior descending coronary artery, and of the sinus of Valsalva. Molecular analysis detected the pathogenic variant NM_001042492.3(NF1):c.3943C>T (p.Gln1315*). Literature findings on ACAD in NF1 indicated that this mostly occurs in males, showing predilection for the development of aneurysms at the left anterior descending coronary artery, and manifesting predominantly as acute myocardial infarction, inclusively in teenagers, though it may be also asymptomatic as in our case. This report documents the first case of ACAD in a patient with NF1 diagnosed at birth, emphasizing that its early diagnosis is essential to prevent potential life‐threatening events attributable directly to coronary lesions.

Published: June 2023

AbstractBiological neuronal networks are characterized by nonlinear interactions and complex connectivity. Given the growing impetus to build neuromorphic computers, understanding physical devices that exhibit structures and functionalities similar to biological neural networks is an important step toward this goal. Self‐organizing circuits of nanodevices are at the forefront of the research in neuromorphic computing, as their behavior mimics synaptic plasticity features of biological neuronal circuits. However, an effective theory to describe their behavior is lacking. This study provides for the first time an effective mean field theory for the emergent voltage‐induced polymorphism of circuits of a nanowire connectome, showing that the behavior of these circuits can be explained by a low‐dimensional dynamical equation. The equation can be derived from the microscopic dynamics of a single memristive junction in analytical form. The effective model is tested on experiments of nanowire networks and show that it fits both the potentiation and depression of these synapse‐mimicking circuits. It is shown that this theory applies beyond the case of nanowire networks by formulating a general mean‐field theory of conductance transitions in self‐organizing memristive connectomes.

AbstractProtein post‐translational modification with ubiquitin (Ub) is a versatile signal regulating almost all aspects of cell biology, and an increasing range of diseases is associated with impaired Ub modification. In this light, the Ub system offers an attractive, yet underexplored route to the development of novel targeted treatments. A promising strategy for small molecule intervention is posed by the final components of the enzymatic ubiquitination cascade, E3 ligases, as they determine the specificity of the protein ubiquitination pathway. Here, we present UbSRhodol, an autoimmolative Ub‐based probe, which upon E3 processing liberates the pro‐fluorescent dye, amenable to profile the E3 transthiolation activity for recombinant and in cell‐extract E3 ligases. UbSRhodol enabled detection of changes in transthiolation efficacy evoked by enzyme key point mutations or conformational changes, and offers an excellent assay reagent amenable to a high‐throughput screening setup allowing the identification of small molecules modulating E3 activity.

AbstractA stable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer is crucial for lithium metal anode (LMA) to survive in long‐term cycling. However, chaotic structures and chemical inhomogeneity of natural SEI make LMA suffering from exasperating dendrite growth and severe electrode pulverization, which hinder the practical application of LMAs. Here, we design a catalyst‐derived artificial SEI layer with an ordered polyamide‐lithium hydroxide (PA‐LiOH) bi‐phase structure to modulate ion transport and enable dendrite‐free Li deposition. The PA‐LiOH layer can substantially suppress the volume changes of LMA during Li plating/stripping cycles, as well as alleviate the parasitic reactions between LMA and electrolyte. The optimized LMAs demonstrate excellent stability in Li plating/stripping cycles for over 1000 hours at an ultra‐high current density of 20 mA cm−2 in Li||Li symmetric cells. A high coulombic efficiency up to 99.2 % in Li half cells in additive‐free electrolytes is achieved even after 500 cycles at a current density of 1 mA cm−2 with a capacity of 1 mAh cm−2.

AbstractCesium methylammonium lead iodide (CsxMA1−xPbI3) nanocrystals were obtained with a wide range of A‐site Cs‐MA compositions by post‐synthetic, room temperature cation exchange between CsPbI3 nanocrystals and MAPbI3 nanocrystals. The alloyed CsxMA1−xPbI3 nanocrystals retain their photoactive perovskite phase with incorporated Cs content, x, as high as 0.74 and the expected composition‐tunable photoluminescence (PL). Excess methylammonium oleate from the reaction mixture in the MAPbI3 nanocrystal dispersions was necessary to obtain fast Cs‐MA cation exchange. The phase transformation and degradation kinetics of films of CsxMA1−xPbI3 nanocrystals were measured and modeled using an Avrami expression. The transformation kinetics were significantly slower than those of the parent CsPbI3 and MAPbI3 nanocrystals, with Avrami rate constants, k, at least an order of magnitude smaller. These results affirm that A‐site cation alloying is a promising strategy for stabilizing iodide‐based perovskites.

AbstractThe Germanium (Ge), as a fast‐charging and high specific capacity (1568 mAh g−1) alloy anode, is greatly hampered in practical application by poor cyclability. To date, the understanding of cycling performance degradation remains elusive. This study illustrates that, contrary to conventional beliefs, most of the Ge material in failed anodes still retains good integrity and does not undergo severe pulverization. It is revealed that capacity degradation is clearly correlated to the interfacial evolution of lithium hydride (LiH). Tetralithium germanium hydride (Li4Ge2H), as a new species derived from LiH, is identified as the culprit of Ge anode degradation, which is the dominant crystalized component in an ever‐growing and ever‐insulating interphase. The significantly increased thickness of the solid electrolyte interface (SEI) is accompanied by the accumulation of insulating Li4Ge2H upon cycling, which severely retards the charge transport process and ultimately triggers the anode failure. We believe that the comprehensive understanding of the failure mechanism presented in this study is of great significance to promoting the design and development of alloy anode for the next generation of lithium‐ion batteries.

AbstractEin Gen, das für ein Terpensynthase‐Homolog aus Kitasatospora viridis kodiert, wurde kloniert und in Escherichia coli exprimiert. Das gereinigte rekombinante Protein besaß Aktivität als Sesterterpensynthase und wandelte Geranylfarnesyldiphosphat (GFPP) mit einer Ausbeute von 19 % effizient in den Sesterterpen‐Kohlenwasserstoff Sesterviriden A um. Enzymatische Synthese im großen Maßstab ermöglichten auch die Isolierung von zwei Nebenprodukten, die mit sehr geringen Ausbeuten von ca. 0.1 % erhalten wurden. Mehrere Derivate von Sesterviriden A wurden durch chemische Umwandlungen erhalten, wodurch die NMR‐basierten Strukturzuordnungen gesichert wurden. Die absolute Konfiguration von Sesterviriden A wurde durch chemische Korrelation unter Verwendung stereoselektiv deuterierter Vorläufer und durch Röntgenkristallographie mit anomaler Dispersion bestimmt. Der Cyclisierungsmechanismus von GFPP zu Sesterviriden A wurde detailliert durch Isotopenmarkierungsexperimente und DFT‐Berechnungen untersucht.

AbstractCell encapsulation has been studied for various applications ranging from cell transplantation to biological production. However, current encapsulation technologies focus on cell protection rather than cell regulation that is essential to most if not all cell‐based applications. Here we report a method for cell nanoencapsulation and regulation using an ultrathin biomimetic extracellular matrix as a cell nanocapsule to carry nanoparticles (CN2). This method allows high‐capacity nanoparticle retention at the vicinity of cell surfaces. The encapsulated cells maintain high viability and normal metabolism. When gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are used as a model to decorate the nanocapsule, light irradiation transiently increases the temperature, leading to the activation of the heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) promoter and the regulation of reporter gene expression. As the biomimetic nanocapsule can be decorated with any or multiple NPs, CN2 is a promising platform for advancing cell‐based applications.
