Summary: In this study, MXene composites decorated with Fe3O4 nanoparticles were prepared to improve the electromagnetic attenuation performance in the microwave and millimeter-wave frequency bands. The MXene layers were distributed with Fe3O4 nanoparticles, forming a sandwich-like microstructure. By adjusting the thickness of the absorber, the minimum reflection loss (RLmin) can be up to -66.25 dB, and the maximum effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) can be up to 8.49 GHz. The MXene/Fe3O4 composites show superior EMW absorption performance in microwave and millimeter-wave frequency bands due to the synergistic effects and structural advantages of Fe3O4 and MXene.

Summary: In this study, spherical Fe was transformed into spherical Fe4N through the gas-nitriding process, and the obtained spherical Fe4N exhibited better microwave absorption performance than spherical Fe. The minimum reflection loss (RLmin) reached -22.3 dB when the matching thickness was only 1.5 mm. The effective absorption bandwidth reached 4.5 GHz when the matching thickness increased to 2 mm. The mechanisms for the improved microwave absorption performance in spherical Fe4N were explored through the characterization of crystal structure, microscopic morphology, magnetic properties, and absorbing properties.

Summary: This study compares three list scrolling gestures on a mobile phone: sliding to scroll, moving a regular scrollbar, and scrolling through alphabetic index. It finds that scrolling through alphabetic index is the fastest regardless of target locations. The study also reveals that sliding to scroll has shorter reaction time for near-reaching targets, but longer reaction time for far-reaching targets. The evaluation scores of alphabetic index increase over time, while those of sliding to scroll decrease. The different rating patterns before and after the task are attributed to fatigue and emotional changes. This study provides insights into users' mental models for three list scrolling gestures and their implications for future gesture design.

Summary: Soil biogeochemical processes exhibit depth-dependent responses to climate change. This study presents an innovative and cost-effective approach of field incubation of intact soil cores to explore this depth dependence. The results indicate that soil respiration responds significantly to climate shifts induced by translocation experiments, but this response is independent of soil depth.

Summary: A flexible tent-like interface constructed by self-assembly of graphene oxide on zinc nanosheets is proposed to achieve stable lithium metal anode. This interface immobilizes the graphene oxide layer and enables homogeneous lithium deposition within nanocavities. The confinement of Li plating/stripping inside the nanocavities effectively reduces electrolyte-Li reaction and eliminates continuous consumption of Li metal, leading to excellent cycling performance and high-capacity retention.

Summary: The half-boundary method (HBM) is developed for nonlinear convection-diffusion equations (CDEs) and shows excellent performance in simulating flow and heat transfer, especially for convection domination. The HBM reduces the maximum order of matrix and calculation memory storage by utilizing the variable relationship between the nodes inside the domain and the nodes on half of the boundaries. Moreover, it can directly solve discontinuous problems without adding continuity conditions due to the use of mixed variables.

Summary: Metal injection molding (MIM) is an effective method for preparing brittle TiAl alloy parts. The rheological properties, as-sintered microstructure, interstitial impurities, and mechanical properties of feedstocks using non-spherical powders were systematically studied. By optimizing raw materials and process control, Ti-48Al powder was prepared through self-propagation synthesis. The powder consists of TiAl, Ti3Al, and TiAl3, with an O content of 0.34 wt%. The pseudo-plastic flow behavior and powder loading of feedstock based on different binder systems (POM and PW) were studied. Sintering the non-spherical TiAl powder at 1450°C resulted in samples with a relative density of 96.4%, a tensile strength of 352 MPa, and an elongation of 0.32%, reaching the level of as-cast alloys. Furthermore, the microstructures of samples sintered at various temperatures were compared with the ingot metallurgy TiAl alloy.

Summary: Lead-free double perovskite Cs(2)NaLnX(6) nanocrystals (NCs) with lanthanide elements as structural ions and emission centers exhibit high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) and stability. The broadband emission of Cs(2)NaLnX(6) NCs is attributed to self-trapped excitons. These NCs demonstrate remarkable water stability, temperature stability, and light irradiation stability. The PLQY of these materials is higher than most double perovskite materials, reaching up to 70%. A white light-emitting diode device based on Cs2NaEuTbCl6 shows good color properties. Overall, Cs(2)NaLnX(6) NCs have great potential for future optoelectronic devices.

Summary: In this study, the researchers identified CreTPT2 and CreTPT3, two proteins involved in the export of photoassimilates from the chloroplast in the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. They found that CreTPT3 plays a dominant role in this process and is essential for preventing oxidative stress and accumulation of reactive oxygen species in the cell. The study also suggests differences in the export of photoassimilates between Chlamydomonas and vascular plants. The triose phosphate transporter TPT3 is a major distributor of fixed carbon, fueling Chlamydomonas metabolism.

Summary: Mutations in genes encoding nuclear envelope proteins cause nuclear envelopathies, which are characterized by skeletal muscle and heart abnormalities, such as Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD). However, the tissue-specific role of the nuclear envelope in these diseases has not been well studied. This study showed that the muscle-specific nuclear envelope protein NET39 is crucial for normal skeletal muscle function and its deficiency leads to key features of EDMD. It was also found that NET39 protects against mechanical stress and DNA damage in muscle cells.

Summary: Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by the aggregation of β-amyloid (A,B). Although efforts have been made to control A,B aggregation, no effective medications have been developed. Photodynamic treatment, due to its excellent temporal and spatial selectivity, has been employed to intervene in the aggregation process with some success. This paper reviews the progress of small-molecule photosensitizers in recent years and outlines existing strategies and potential obstacles for enhancing the research and application of photodynamic therapy in Alzheimer's disease.
