Summary: In this paper, cobalt-doped graphdiyne nanosheets were successfully synthesized by introducing transition metal cobalt into the alkynyl unit of graphdiyne using a bottom-up liquid-liquid interface synthesis method. The obtained nanosheets showed obvious room temperature ferromagnetism. Density function theory results indicated that cobalt-doped graphdiyne is a half-metallic material with a kagome lattice, and the embedded cobalt atoms are the source of magnetic moment. The special kagome structure exhibited flat band ferromagnetism, consistent with the experimental observations. The successful synthesis of cobalt-doped graphdiyne not only promotes the study of graphdiyne's magnetism, but also provides a new route for the experimental synthesis of kagome lattice materials.

However, existing methods often ignore the relationship between emotion clauses and cause clauses. To address this, we propose an end-to-end framework that uses interactive attention and fusion mechanism to learn the relationship between emotions and causes, achieving better results than state-of-the-art baselines.

Summary: In this study, a NbTi-Bi2223 hybrid low-resistive joint fabricated by the superconducting solder method was systematically investigated. The joint resistance and current capability under different applied magnetic fields were measured, and the resistance exhibited a near-linear relationship with the applied field. Beyond the superconducting properties, the allowed mechanical criteria for the Bi2223 tape in the joint were also briefly studied. A 1.3 GHz NMR design with a NbTi-Bi2223 hybrid low-resistive joint was shown as an application demonstration based on the above two properties. The attempt to obtain a lower resistance value by extending the joint length was unsuccessful, and the main source of resistance in NbTi-Bi2223 was studied. We aim to present an engineering-feasible NbTi-Bi2223 hybrid low-resistive joint to help improve the development of GHZ NMR.

Summary: This paper presents a novel two-step procedure for measuring the critical current properties as a function of tensile stress. The proposed method eliminates the negative effect of the voltage tap used during the tensile procedure, allowing the determination of the actual irreversible degradation stress. The results show that the critical current value does not degrade until the stress reaches the 'inflection area' in the tensile curve. A feasible composite-material tensile model is established to explain this phenomenon. Fatigue measurements and EBSD experiments confirm the proposed model.

Summary: The use of machine learning to predict the performance of specific adsorbents in phosphate adsorption shows great promise in saving time and revealing underlying mechanisms. However, the small size of the dataset and insufficient detailed information limits the model training process and the accuracy of results. To address this, the study employs a fuzzing strategy that replaces detailed numeric information with descriptive text messages on the physiochemical properties of adsorbents. This strategy allows the recovery of discarded samples with limited information, leading to accurate prediction of adsorption amount, capacity, and kinetics. The study also finds that phosphate uptake by adsorbents is generally through physisorption, with some involvement of chemisorption. The framework established in this study provides a practical approach for quickly predicting phosphate adsorption performance in urgent scenarios, using easily accessible information.
