Summary: In this study, it was demonstrated that spermidine carbon dots (Spd-CDs) enhance tomato tolerance under heat stress. Spraying 6 mg L-1 Spd-CDs on tomato plants increased their maximum quantum efficiency of PSII and net photosynthesis rate. Spd-CDs also alleviated heat stress-induced oxidative stress through various mechanisms, including reducing reactive oxygen species accumulation and increasing the activity of antioxidant enzymes.

Summary: Lateral roots (LR) are crucial for plants to absorb water and nutrients, especially under stress conditions. Recent research shows that melatonin regulates LR development, with reactive oxygen species (ROS) acting as downstream signaling molecules in this process. This suggests a novel signaling network controlled by melatonin for LR development.

Summary: Size-selective, negative ion photoelectron spectroscopy in conjunction with quantum chemical calculations is employed to investigate the geometric and electronic structures of a protype system in catalytic olefin epoxidation research. The study illustrates the prevalence of a high-lying isomer with asymmetric dual hydrogen-bonding configuration, which is formed by direction-specific electrostatic interactions between [HFIP-H](-) and H2O2. The occurrence of partial charge transfer and proton transfer is observed, and the produced hydroperoxyl radical HOO center dot offers a possible new pathway in olefin epoxidation chemistry.

Summary: The aim of this study was to develop a population pharmacokinetic (PK) model for ciprofol and its major metabolite M4, and link it to the population pharmacodynamics (PD) model in subjects with different renal functions. The study found that the PK of ciprofol and M4 could be best described by three-compartment and two-compartment models, respectively. The concentrations of ciprofol and M4 were linked using a linear protein binding model. Hemoglobin and uric acid were identified as covariates affecting the clearance of ciprofol and M4. The developed model provides a comprehensive understanding of the PK and PD of ciprofol.

Summary: Perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells (PSTSCs) have the potential to overcome the efficiency limit of single-junction silicon solar cells by combining the wider bandgap of a semitransparent perovskite solar cell (PSC) with the ability of a narrow bandgap silicon solar cell to convert infrared light. However, the actual efficiency of PSTSCs is currently below the theoretical limit, and challenges in stability and upscaling need to be addressed.

Summary: This study estimated the fetal and pediatric doses from chest CT scans performed during the COVID-19 pandemic. Organ and effective doses were calculated using VirtualDose-CT software. The results showed that fetal absorbed doses ranged from 0.04 to 0.61 mGy depending on the gestational age, and extending the scan range to the abdominal region increased fetal doses by almost 4-fold. The findings provide valuable information for radiologists and patients to minimize unnecessary radiation exposure.

Summary: An innovative in-situ etching (ISE) method using methanol is proposed to reduce surface defects in inorganic perovskite solar cells (IPSCs). The treatment with methanol leads to a decrease in surface defects and the passivation of grain boundary defects, resulting in a reduction in trap density and improved charge carrier extraction. The efficiency of the IPSCs is enhanced from 16.00% to 19.34% using this method.

Summary: Hybrid organic-inorganic piezoelectrics have gained attention for their fascinating performance, ease of synthesis, and mechanical flexibility. However, most reported systems contain toxic heavy metals or are unstable due to metal halide bonds. In this research, a stable zero-dimensional hybrid piezoelectric material based on an environmentally friendly anion of SCN- was synthesized. The resulting flexible composite films showed exceptional mechanical energy harvesting properties, outperforming state-of-the-art piezoelectric devices, with excellent durability and stability.
