Published: June 2023

AbstractThe uncontrollable growth and uneven nucleation of lithium metal can be addressed by utilizing spatial confinement structures in conjunction with lithiophilic sites. However, their complex fabrication technique and the inhomogeneous dispersion of lithiophilic sites make the application ineffective. In this work, ultra‐uniformly dispersed SiOx seeds and defects are produced in situ to achieve the spatially restricted protection within the reduced graphene oxide (rGO) layer. The in situ formed SiOx and defects during annealing double constrain lithium nucleation and growth behaviors thanks to the superlithiophilic characteristic, while both provide the fast Li+ transport channel to utilize the interlayer protection of rGO in limiting lithium dendrite growth. Furthermore, XANES and XPS analyze the SiOx seeds that are dominated by various valence states, and theoretical calculations further verify the control on the nucleation of lithium atoms. Benefiting from the optimum average valence of three for the “control site”, the host realizes steady circulation. In asymmetric cells, the host demonstrates excellent coulombic efficiency of 99.1% and stable lifespans over 1250 h at 1 mA cm−2. When assembled in LiFePO4 full cells, it retains a favorable capacity of 116.2 mA h g−1 after 170 cycles.

AbstractThe quantum phase transition caused by regulating the electronic correlation in strongly correlated quantum materials has been a research hotspot in condensed matter science. Herein, a photon‐induced quantum phase transition from the Kondo‐Mott insulating state to the low temperature metallic one accompanying with the magnetoresistance changing from negative to positive in the infinite‐layer NdNiO2 films is reported, where the antiferromagnetic coupling among the Ni1+ localized spins and the Kondo effect are effectively suppressed by manipulating the correlation of Ni‐3d and Nd‐5d electrons under the photoirradiation. Moreover, the critical temperature Tc of the superconducting‐like transition exhibits a dome‐shaped evolution with the maximum up to ≈42 K, and the electrons dominate the transport process proved by the Hall effect measurements. These findings not only make the photoinduction a promising way to control the quantum phase transition by manipulating the electronic correlation in Mott‐like insulators, but also shed some light on the possibility of the superconducting in electron‐doped nickelates.

AbstractTo further improve the output performance of triboelectric devices, reducing charge attenuation and loss has become a hot research topic. Particularly, textiles have emerged as one of the promising research directions for triboelectric devices owing to their special internal structure and large specific surface area. In the present work, polyacrylonitrile fibers are fabricated with two distinct structures to provide a higher dielectric constant due to the strong polar properties brought about by higher dipole moment of the CN group. In addition, the complex and closely connected structure of the textile increases specific internal surface area. As a friction layer, the output voltage is shown to increase to 625% of the initial value (from 8 to 60 V) after the application of friction for a short time due to accumulation property. When acting as a trapping layer, the charge loss after injection is effectively prevented due to excellent charge trapping effect. After 24 h, the triboelectric output performance remains at ≈70% of the initial value (decreasing from 320 to 220 V), which is more than 20 times that of the polytetrafluoroethylene film, which decreases from 125 to 19 V. The device is realized for the advanced application of multi‐modal sensors.

Published: June 2023

AbstractCurrent artificial designs of the periosteum focus on osteogenic or angiogenic properties, while ignoring the filling and integration with bone microcracks, which trigger a prolonged excessive inflammatory reaction and lead to failure of bone regeneration. In this study, seamless adhesive biomimetic periosteum patches (HABP/Sr‐PLA) were prepared to fill microcracks in defective bone via interfacial self‐assembly induced by Sr ions mediated metal‐ligand interactions among pamidronate disodium‐modified hyaluronic acid (HAPD), black phosphorus (BP), and hydrophilic polylactic acid (PLA). In vitro, HABP/Sr‐PLA exhibited excellent self‐healing properties, seamlessly filled bone microcracks, and significantly enhanced osteogenesis and angiogenesis. Furthermore, in a rat cranial defect model, HABP/Sr‐PLA was demonstrated to significantly promote the formation of blood vessels and new bone under mild 808 nm photothermal stimulation (42.8 °C), and the highest protein expression of CD31 and OPN was five times higher than that of the control group and other groups. Therefore, the proposed seamless microcrack‐filled bionic periosteum patch is a promising clinical strategy for promoting bone repair.
Tuning the Electrode/Electrolyte Interface Enabled by a Trifunctional Inorganic Oligomer Electrolyte Additive for Highly Stable and High‐Rate Zn Anodes
Authors: Yu Yuanze , Zhang Pengfei , Wang Weiyu , Liu Jie 
Published: June 2023

AbstractThe practical application of aqueous Zn‐ion batteries is still greatly hindered by the unstable Zn anode with severe Zn dendrites growth and side reactions. As it is accessible and economical, the exploitation of electrolyte additives is one of the most promising strategies to stabilize the Zn electrode/electrolyte interface. Herein, the penta‐potassium triphosphate (KTPP) as a novel trifunctional electrolyte additive is introduced to tune the electrode/electrolyte interface. First, the KTPP additive can induce an ion‐conducting and mechanically robust solid electrolyte interphase film to stabilize the Zn anode. Second, the KTPP can complex with Zn2+ ions to reconstitute the dissolution sheath structure of the Zn2+ ion. Finally, the K+ cations in KTPP adsorb on the tips of the Zn anode surface as a shielding film to regulate Zn2+ ion flux. As a result, Zn//Zn symmetric cells can achieve significantly prolonged cycling stability (e.g., from 1077 to 3800 h at 1 mA cm−2/1 mAh cm−2, from 256 to 2500 h at 2 mA cm−2/2 mAh cm−2), and ultrahigh cumulative capacity of 6400/7200 mAh cm−2 at high current density (40/20 mA cm−2). A four‐layer Zn–MnO2 pouch full cell with a high capacity of 9 mAh can be constructed, showing impressive practical application potential.
Recent Development of Anion Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells and Performance Optimization Strategies: A Review
Authors: Li Fangju , Chan Siew Hwa , Tu Zhengkai 
Published: June 2023

AbstractAnion exchange membrane fuel cells (AEMFCs) are the most promising low‐temperature fuel cells and have received extensive attention. Compared to PEMFCs, the cost per unit of power can be significantly reduced for AEMFCs because, in theory, they allow the usage of non‐precious metal catalysts and low‐cost cell components. Owing to the development of advanced materials and performance improvement strategies, AEMFCs have achieved new records in both initial performance and durability. However, the high performance currently achieved is contingent on certain conditions, e. g., high Pt loading, large gas flowrates, and operation in pure O2, which are far from practical applications. Therefore, the transition to commercially relevant performance and durability is the next goal of AEMFCs. This paper reviews the performance data of H2‐fueled AEMFCs since 2010 and summarizes possible performance optimization schemes, which can provide useful insights for developing next‐generation AEMFCs.

Published: June 2023

AbstractA 16‐year‐old, neutered, male cat presented to an emergency and specialty care facility for persistent pneumothorax. Bilateral thoracocentesis, biochemical and hematological evaluation, thoracic radiographs, abdominal ultrasound, heartworm antigen test and computed tomography scan were performed. No definitive cause of the pneumothorax was identified, making a diagnosis of spontaneous (idiopathic) pneumothorax most likely.  Surgical exploration of the thorax was declined. Evacuation of the pleural space was performed for 4 days, without resolution of air accumulation. An autologous blood patch pleurodesis was performed on the fifth day. The pneumothorax resolved, and the patient was discharged from the hospital the following day. Recheck radiographs were performed 17 days after discharge, which confirmed resolution of pneumothorax. The patient was alive 1200 days after discharge, with no recurrent clinical signs. This case report demonstrates successful use of an autologous blood patch pleurodesis in a feline patient.
Imperialism, colonialism, and climate change science
Authors: Mercer Harriet , Simpson Thomas 
Published: June 2023

AbstractHistorical studies of the influence of imperialism and colonialism on climate science have yet to be brought together into a critical synthesis. This advanced review offers a critical overview of the key themes of this literature with the primary intention of enabling historians and other scholars to recognize, specify, and acknowledge the roles of imperial and colonial processes in shaping scientific framings of climate. Following a brief overview of debates in older literature over the significance of imperialism and colonialism in climate sciences, the article investigates the wealth of recent scholarship that demonstrates specific and diverse connections between empires and climate science. Major features of this scholarship include: the role and the erasure of Indigenous and local knowledge; imperial climate infrastructures and visions; and climate data and theories in land empires as well as in informal empires and neocolonial settings. Through critically engaging these themes, the article seeks to help historians identify avenues for future research.This article is categorized under:

The Potential of Dental Calculus as a Novel Source of Biological Isotopic Data
Authors: Salazar-García Domingo C. , Warinner Christina , Eerkens Jelmer W. , Henry Amanda G. 
Published: June 2023

AbstractStable isotope analysis has become an essential tool in investigations of ancient migration and paleodietary reconstruction. Because the biogeochemistry of bone collagen and apatite is well known, current methods rely almost exclusively on analyses of bones and teeth; however, dental calculus represents a potentially additional biological source of isotopic data from ancient skeletons. Dental calculus is a mineralized bacterial biofilm that forms on the surfaces of teeth. Sampling dental calculus does not damage the dentition and thus can be used in cases where it is not possible to perform destructive analyses of conventional mineralized tissues. Like bone and dentine, dental calculus contains both inorganic and organic components, allowing measurement of C, N, O, H, and Sr isotopes. Additionally, dental calculus forms as serial, non-remodeling laminar accretions on the tooth surface, opening up the possibility of analyzing discrete time points during the lifetime of an individual. However, as a microbial biofilm and not a human tissue, the biochemistry of dental calculus is complex, containing multiple calcium phosphate mineral phases, organic and inorganic food remains, hundreds of human and bacterial proteins, and diverse biomolecules from thousands of endogenous bacterial taxa. Isotopic investigation of dental calculus is still in its infancy, and many questions remain regarding its formation and processes of diagenesis. This chapter (1) reviews the unique advantages presented by dental calculus as a novel source of biological isotopic data, (2) critically evaluates published isotopic studies of dental calculus, and (3) explores the current challenges of dental calculus stable isotope analysis through a case study of an Ancient Puebloan Basketmaker II population from the American Southwest.

Abstract
Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 2 (PARP2) alongside PARP1 are responsible for the bulk of cellular PARP activity, and they were first described as DNA repair factors. However, research in past decades implicated PARPs in biological functions as diverse as the regulation of cellular energetics, lipid homeostasis, cell death, and inflammation. PARP activation was described in Th2-mediated inflammatory processes, but studies focused on the role of PARP1, while we have little information on PARP2 in inflammatory regulation. In this study, we assessed the role of PARP2 in a Th17-mediated inflammatory skin condition, psoriasis. We found that PARP2 mRNA expression is increased in human psoriatic lesions. Therefore, we studied the functional consequence of decreased PARP2 expression in murine and cellular human models of psoriasis. We observed that the deletion of PARP2 attenuated the imiquimod-induced psoriasis-like dermatitis in mice. Silencing of PARP2 in human keratinocytes prevented their hyperproliferation, maintained their terminal differentiation, and reduced their production of inflammatory mediators after treatment with psoriasis-mimicking cytokines IL17A and TNFα. Underlying these observations, we found that aromatase was induced in the epidermis of PARP2 knock-out mice and in PARP2-deficient human keratinocytes, and the resulting higher estradiol production suppressed NF-κB activation, and hence, inflammation in keratinocytes. Steroidogenic alterations have previously been described in psoriasis, and we extend these observations by showing that aromatase expression is reduced in psoriatic lesions. Collectively, our data identify PARP2 as a modulator of estrogen biosynthesis by epidermal keratinocytes that may be relevant in Th17 type inflammation.

Key messages

PARP2 mRNA expression is increased in lesional skin of psoriasis patients.

PARP2 deletion in mice attenuated IMQ-induced psoriasis-like dermatitis.

NF-κB activation is suppressed in PARP2-deficient human keratinocytes.

Higher estradiol in PARP2-deficient keratinocytes conveys anti-inflammatory effect.

Abstract
Aims/hypothesis
Type 2 diabetes is associated with increased risk of cognitive decline although the pathogenic basis for this remains obscure. Deciphering diabetes-linked molecular mechanisms in cells of the cerebral cortex could uncover novel therapeutic targets.

Methods
Single-cell transcriptomic sequencing (scRNA-seq) was conducted on the cerebral cortex in a mouse model of type 2 diabetes (db/db mice) and in non-diabetic control mice in order to identify gene expression changes in distinct cell subpopulations and alterations in cell type composition. Immunohistochemistry and metabolic assessment were used to validate the findings from scRNA-seq and to investigate whether these cell-specific dysfunctions impact the neurovascular unit (NVU). Furthermore, the behavioural and cognitive alterations related to these dysfunctions in db/db mice were assessed via Morris water maze and novel object discrimination tests. Finally, results were validated in post-mortem sections and protein isolates from individuals with type 2 diabetes.

Results
Compared with non-diabetic control mice, the db/db mice demonstrated disrupted brain function as revealed by losses in episodic and spatial memory and this occurred concomitantly with dysfunctional NVU, neuronal circuitry and cerebral atrophy. scRNA-seq of db/db mouse cerebral cortex revealed cell population changes in neurons, glia and microglia linked to functional regulatory disruption including neuronal maturation and altered metabolism. These changes were validated through immunohistochemistry and protein expression analysis not just in the db/db mouse cerebral cortex but also in post-mortem sections and protein isolates from individuals with type 2 diabetes (74.3 ± 5.5 years) compared with non-diabetic control individuals (87.0 ± 8.5 years). Furthermore, metabolic and synaptic gene disruptions were evident in cortical NVU cell populations and associated with a decrease in vascular density.

Conclusions/interpretation
Taken together, our data reveal disruption in the cellular and molecular architecture of the cerebral cortex induced by diabetes, which can explain, at least in part, the basis for progressive cognitive decline in individuals with type 2 diabetes.

Adaptive learning in human–android
interactions: an anthropological analysis of play and ritual
Authors: Mazuz Keren , Yamazaki Ryuji 
Published: June 2023

AbstractUsing anthropological theory, this paper examines human–android
interactions (HAI) as an emerging aspect of android science. These interactions are
described in terms of adaptive learning (which is largely subconscious). This article is
based on the observations reported and supplementary data from two studies that took
place in Japan with a teleoperated android robot called Telenoid in the socialization of school children and older adults. We
argue that interacting with androids brings about a special context, an interval, and a
space/time for reflection and imagination that was not there before. During the
interaction something happens. There is adaptive learning and as a result, both children
and older adults accepted Telenoid, and the children and older adults accepted each
other. Using frames of play and ritual, we make sense and ‘capture’ moments of adaptive
learning, and the feedback that elicits a social response from all study participants
that results in self-efficacy and socialization. While “ritual” refers to the
application of what has been learned and “play” means that there are no obvious
consequences of what has been learned. This analysis illuminates new understanding about
the uncanny valley, cultural robotics and the therapeutic potential of HAI. This has
implications for the acceptance of androids in ‘socialized roles’ and gives us insight
into the subconscious adaptive learning processes that must take place within humans to
accept androids into our society. This approach aims to provides a clearer conceptual
basis and vocabulary for further research of android and humanoid development.
On the thermal stresses in chiral porous elastic beams
Authors: Cicco Simona De , Ieşan Dorin 
Published: June 2023

AbstractThis paper is concerned with the strain gradient theory of porous thermoelastic solids. We study the deformation of isotropic chiral cylinders subjected to a temperature field that is linear in the axial coordinate. It is shown that the solution can be reduced to the study of two-dimensional problems. The results are used to investigate the deformation of a circular cylinder subjected to a uniform temperature variation. In contrast to the case of achiral materials, the thermal field in chiral cylinders produces torsional effects.
Analysis of hydrogen diffusion in the three stage electro-permeation test
Authors: Raina Arun , Deshpande Vikram S. , Martínez-Pañeda Emilio , Fleck Norman A. 
Published: June 2023

AbstractThe presence of hydrogen traps within a metallic alloy influences the rate of hydrogen diffusion. The electro-permeation (EP) test can be used to assess this: the permeation of hydrogen through a thin metallic sheet is measured by suitable control of hydrogen concentration on the front face and by recording the flux of hydrogen that exits the rear face. Additional insight is achieved by the more sophisticated three stage EP test: the concentration of free lattice hydrogen on the front face is set to an initial level, is then dropped to a lower intermediate value and is then restored to the initial level. The flux of hydrogen exiting the rear face is measured in all three stages of the test. In the present study, a transient analysis is performed of hydrogen permeation in a three stage EP test, assuming that lattice diffusion is accompanied by trapping and de-trapping. The sensitivity of the three stage EP response to the depth and density of hydrogen traps is quantified. A significant difference in permeation response can exist between the first and third stages of the EP test when the alloy contains a high number density of deep traps.
Comparison of comet-based approaches to assess base excision repair

Published: June 2023

AbstractDNA repair plays an essential role in maintaining genomic stability, and can be assessed by various comet assay-based approaches, including the cellular repair assay and the in vitro repair assay. In the cellular repair assay, cells are challenged with a DNA-damaging compound and DNA damage removal over time is assessed. In the in vitro repair assay, an early step in the repair process is assessed as the ability of a cellular extract to recognize and incise damaged DNA in substrate nucleoids from cells treated with a DNA-damaging compound. Our direct comparison of both assays in eight cell lines and human peripheral blood lymphocytes indicated no significant relationship between these DNA repair assays (R2 = 0.084, P = 0.52). The DNA incision activity of test cells measured with the in vitro repair assay correlated with the background level of DNA damage in the untreated test cells (R2 = 0.621, P = 0.012). When extracts were prepared from cells exposed to DNA-damaging agents (10 mM KBrO3 or 1 µM Ro 19–8022 plus light), the incision activity was significantly increased, which is in line with the notion that base excision repair is inducible. The data presented suggest that the two assays do not measure the same endpoint of DNA repair and should be considered as complementary.
