A Critical Review on the Comparative Assessment of Rare-Earth and Non-Rare-Earth Alloying in Magnesium Alloys Magnesium (Mg) alloys have emerged as highly sought-after alloys in aerospace, automotive, and biomedical engineering industries due to their low density and excellent mechanical properties. The addition of alloying elements plays a critical role in improving the performance of these Mg alloys, with rare-earth (RE) elements being especially helpful in improving mechanical properties, specifically strength and ductility. However, due to the higher cost and limited availability of RE elements, researchers are trying to explore non-rare-earth (non-RE) alternatives, such as aluminum, calcium, zinc, etc. These non-RE elements offer various advantages including cost effectiveness and enhanced manufacturability, but they may not always match the performance improvements of RE elements. This review critically examines and compares the effects of RE and non-RE alloying elements on the microstructural evolution, corrosion resistance, and strengthening implications of Mg alloys. Furthermore, it explores the recent advancements in alloy development and evaluates the trade-offs between RE and non-RE alloying elements, offering key insights into the optimal approaches for enhancing the performance of Mg alloys across various applications.

End‐to‐End Optimization of Metalens for Broadband and Wide‐Angle Imaging Abstract End‐to‐end optimization of metalens and artificial intelligence‐driven image restoration algorithms has recently emerged as a powerful tool for realizing ultra‐compact imaging systems. However, the limited imaging quality of existing approaches remains challenging in meeting the demand for commercial devices due to the severe aberrations exhibited by metalens. These results in highly blurred sensor images, creating substantial challenges for accurate image restoration. In this work, a novel meta‐imager is introduced that overcomes this challenge by employing an aperture‐stop‐integrated metalens and co‐designing it with a computational image restoration network using a fully differentiable optimization framework. The proposed imager physically consists of a single metalens and an aperture stop located on the opposite side of the 1 mm‐thick glass substrate. This configuration effectively alleviates off‐axis aberrations such as coma and astigmatism, facilitating the image restoration process of the deep neural networks. The experimental results present that this scheme features 70° field‐of‐view, for full‐color imaging across the entire visible spectrum. It is believed that this work represents a significant advancement in creating ultra‐compact cameras using nanophotonics.

MSFragger-DDA+ enhances peptide identification sensitivity with full isolation window search Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry based proteomics, particularly in the bottom-up approach, relies on the digestion of proteins into peptides for subsequent separation and analysis. The most prevalent method for identifying peptides from data-dependent acquisition mass spectrometry data is database search. Traditional tools typically focus on identifying a single peptide per tandem mass spectrum, often neglecting the frequent occurrence of peptide co-fragmentations leading to chimeric spectra. Here, we introduce MSFragger-DDA+, a database search algorithm that enhances peptide identification by detecting co-fragmented peptides with high sensitivity and speed. Utilizing MSFragger's fragment ion indexing algorithm, MSFragger-DDA+ performs a comprehensive search within the full isolation window for each tandem mass spectrum, followed by robust feature detection, filtering, and rescoring procedures to refine search results. Evaluation against established tools across diverse datasets demonstrated that, integrated within the FragPipe computational platform, MSFragger-DDA+ significantly increases identification sensitivity while maintaining stringent false discovery rate control. It is also uniquely suited for wide-window acquisition data. MSFragger-DDA+ provides an efficient and accurate solution for peptide identification, enhancing the detection of low-abundance co-fragmented peptides. Coupled with the FragPipe platform, MSFragger-DDA+ enables more comprehensive and accurate analysis of proteomics data.

Nickel-embedded three-in-one pyridyl-quinoline-linked covalent organic framework photocatalysts for universal C(sp2) cross-coupling reactions Metallaphotocatalysis, integrating interlocked photocatalytic cycles and transition-metal catalysis, harmonizes the ground state and excited state reactivities, enabling cross-couplings under mild conditions and expanding the scope of accessible transformations. However, homogeneous dual metallaphotocatalysts often suffer from limitations such as low catalyst stability, high metal loading, and challenges in catalyst recycling. In this study, we engineered a class of nickel-incorporated pyridyl-quinoline-linked covalent organic frameworks (Ni-PQCOFs) serving as robust and efficient heterogeneous metallaphotocatalysts. These Ni-PQCOFs facilitate universal visible-light-driven C(sp<sup>2</sup>)-carbon and heteroatom (S, N, O, B, P, Se, and Cl) bond formations across a broad range of aromatic halides and nucleophiles, while maintaining low metal loading (1-2 mol%). The Ni-PQCOFs, featuring fully conjugated and tunable pyridyl-quinoline (PQ) motifs, exhibit exceptional (photo)chemical stability, broadened absorption wavelength range, and enhanced redox capability. Remarkably, these COF-based heterogeneous metallaphotocatalysts exhibited significantly enhanced catalytic efficiency compared to their homogeneous counterparts. The versatility and practicality of this photocatalytic system extend to diverse synthetic applications, including late-stage functionalization of complex molecules, sequential functionalizations, and decagram-scale synthesis assisted by an in-house-built high-speed circulation flow system. Moreover, the micrometer-sized Ni-PQCOF catalyst could be recycled over 10 times through direct filtration with minimal activity loss and negligible metal leaching. All these advantages establish Ni-PQCOFs as versatile, effective, and sustainable metallaphotocatalysts for cross-coupling reactions.

These "smart" polymers respond to temperature changes, enabling controlled drug release in pathological environments characterized by high temperatures. By exploiting their unique phase transition, occurring at the lower or upper critical solution temperatures (LCST and UCST), these systems ensure localized therapeutic action, minimizing collateral damage to healthy tissues. The integration of these polymers into nanoparticles with hydrophilic shells and hydrophobic cores enhances their stability and biocompatibility. Furthermore, advanced polymer engineering allows precise modulation of LCST and UCST through adjustments in composition and hydrophilic-lipophilic balance, optimizing their responsiveness for specific applications. In addition to drug delivery, thermo-responsive nanoparticles are gaining attention in several fields such as gene therapy and imaging. Therefore, this review explores the chemical and structural diversity of thermo-responsive nanoparticles, emphasizing their ability to encapsulate and release drugs effectively. Second, this review highlights the potential of thermo-responsive nanoparticles to redefine treatment paradigms, providing a comprehensive understanding of their mechanisms, applications, and future perspectives in biomedical research.

Amphoteric chalcogen-bonding and halogen-bonding rotaxanes for anion or cation recognition The ever-increasing demand in the development of host molecules for the recognition of charged species is stimulated by their fundamental roles in numerous biological and environmental processes. Here, capitalizing on the inherent amphoteric nature of anisotropically polarized tellurium or iodine atoms, we demonstrate a proof of concept in charged guest recognition, where the same neutral host structure binds both cations or anions solely through its chalcogen or halogen donor atoms. Through extensive <sup>1</sup>H nuclear magnetic resonance titration experiments and computational density functional theory studies, a library of chalcogen-bonding (ChB) and halogen-bonding (XB) mechanically interlocked [2]rotaxane molecules, including seminal examples of all-ChB and mixed ChB/XB [2]rotaxanes, are shown to function as either Lewis-acidic or Lewis-basic multidentate hosts for selective halide anion and metal cation binding. Notably, the exploitation of the inherent amphoteric character of an atom for the strategic purpose of either cation or anion recognition constitutes the inception of a previously unexplored area of supramolecular host-guest chemistry.
