Summary: Porous graphitic carbon nitride layers (UMCN-A1.25) with a typical three-dimensional network structure were prepared by a simple calcination process. NH4HCO3 was used as a pore generator and glucose was used as the carbon precursor, while urea and melamine functioned as binary precursors for the sacrificial template. The hierarchical pore structure and high nitrogen-doping level contribute to the high specific capacitances and stable charge-discharge behavior of UMCN-A1.25.

Summary: Nitrogen-doped hierarchical porous carbon (N-HPC) was prepared from houttuynia cordata through chemical activation and nitrogen-doping. The etching behavior of the activator was enhanced by nitrogen doping, promoting the proportion of pyridinic and pyrrolic nitrogen. The prepared N-HPC exhibited a high specific surface area and nitrogen atoms mainly existed in the form of pyridinic and pyrrolic nitrogen. The N-HPC electrode showed a high specific capacitance and good rate characteristic, and the assembled symmetric supercapacitors achieved a high energy density. This work reveals the interaction between nitrogen-doping process and etching behavior, providing a novel route for biomass-based carbon material synthesis for supercapacitors.

Summary: In this study, the dynamic equations of a six-bar mechanism considering the coupling action of dry friction revolute clearance and translational clearance were established using the Lagrangian multiplier method. The general solution strategy for the system dynamic equations considering the dry friction revolute and translational clearance was provided by utilizing the Baumgarte constraint stabilization methodology and contact state judgment at clearance. The effects of different clearance types on the mechanism dynamics were compared and analyzed, and chaos phenomena were identified using various methods. The influence of different friction models, lubrication/dry friction revolute clearance, various loads, and driving speeds on the dynamic behavior and nonlinear characteristics of the mechanism were studied.

Summary: Macrophagy/autophagy is protective in sepsis-induced liver injury. CD36, a member of class B scavenger receptors, plays important roles in various disorders. In sepsis, CD36 expression is increased in hepatocytes, accompanied by impaired autophagy flux. CD36 knockout improves liver injury and autophagosome-lysosome fusion impairment in septic mice. Mechanistically, CD36 acts as a bridge molecule between UBQLN1 and SNARE proteins, promoting the proteasomal degradation of SNARE proteins and fusion impairment. Targeting CD36 in hepatocytes may be a promising strategy for treating septic liver injury.

Summary: The method combines self-primer-assisted chain extension, CRISPR-Cas12a-system-based chain cleavage, and functionalized gold nanoparticle-based color generation to achieve high sensitivity. Detecting miRNA, which undergoes significant changes during pregnancy to support fetal development, remains challenging. This study presents a reliable miRNA detection approach that integrates self-assembly-triggered signal amplification and CRISPR-Cas12a-system cleavage-based color generation. The colorimetric approach involves three signal amplification processes, leading to high sensitivity and a low limit of detection, making it promising for disease diagnosis.

Summary: Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are bright, short-duration radio bursts occurring at cosmological distances. Recent observations suggest that there may be different types of progenitors for FRBs, with young magnetars being the most likely source candidate. In this study, a potential correlation between a binary neutron star merger event and a non-repeating FRB event is investigated. The FRB occurred within the same area as the gravitational wave event, approximately 2.5 hours after it, and its characteristics are consistent with the distance inferred from gravitational wave parameter estimation. The probability of this correlation occurring by chance is estimated to be 0.0052 (2.8 sigma).

Summary: The photocurrent and single-photon-counting performance of 4H-SiC APDs under a wide-range incident flux were investigated. Experimental results showed that the photocurrent was sub-linear with the incident photon rate at high-level incident flux. Furthermore, the ratio of photon count rate to dark count rate was non-monotonic as the incident flux increased. The highest detectable flux of the 4H-SiC APD could be extended by reducing the threshold voltage and increasing the reverse voltage, reaching more than 4 x 104 photons/s · μm2.
