Summary: The performance of terahertz devices can be significantly improved by using optical regulation strategy with the aid of hybrid materials, such as gold nanobipyramids (AuNBPs). The introduction of AuNBPs can effectively enhance the modulation depth of terahertz modulators, and an ultrahigh modulation enhancement can be achieved in the AuNBPs hybrid metamaterials. The optical regulation with AuNBPs is attributed to increased damping rate and higher coupling coefficient.

Summary: In this study, the researchers evaluated the osteogenic differentiation of ectomesenchymal stem cells (EMSCs) using an alendronate-loaded chitosan/polycaprolactone scaffold (CS/PCL@AL) in vitro. The results showed that the CS/PCL@AL scaffold enhanced osteogenic differentiation by upregulating bone morphogenetic protein 2, interleukin 10, and laminin expression, as well as activating the yes-associated protein (YAP) signaling pathway. In vivo experiments in rats with calvarial defects also demonstrated that the CS/PCL@AL scaffold promoted new and mature bone formation. This study highlights the potential of CS/PCL@AL scaffolds as an efficient delivery system for bone defect repair.

Summary: This research examines the impact of Buddhism on mergers & acquisitions (M&As) performance using data from 4622 M&A transactions of Chinese public firms between 2004 and 2018. The findings provide ample evidence that acquirers located in regions with a higher intensity of Buddhism achieve better short-term and long-term performance after the merger. Furthermore, the study reveals that state ownership plays a crucial role in mitigating this effect, and the value creation is driven by higher deal completion rates and fewer violation cases for acquiring firms. Finally, the study addresses the issue of endogeneity, and the results remain unchanged.

Summary: In this study, a composite electrode composed of Ti/TiH2/beta-PbO2_Mn3O4@C was fabricated and investigated for zinc electrowinning. The composite electrode exhibited low overpotential, Tafel slope, icorr, and high voltage stability, outperforming most reported Ti-based PbO2 electrode materials. The excellent catalytic activity can be attributed to the low resistance and porous interlayer of TiH2 nanosheets, as well as the addition of Mn3O4@C micro-flakes to the active layer.
