Summary: We propose an approach based on DeepSet technology for supervised classification and regression of superconductive materials. The method takes the chemical constituents as input, avoiding artefacts from ordering in the list. Successful performance is achieved in classifying superconducting materials and quantifying their critical temperature. Using the trained neural network, we searched the International Mineralogical Association list and identified three superconducting candidates, confirming superconductivity in the synthetic analogue of michenerite and observing it for the first time in monchetundraite with critical temperatures in good agreement with theory predictions. This marks the first certified superconducting material identified through artificial intelligence methodologies.

Summary: We present a blinded analysis of low-energy electronic recoil data from the first science run of the XENONnT dark matter experiment. By employing novel subsystems and increasing the liquid xenon target to 5.9 tons, the background in the (1, 30) keV search region has been reduced to the lowest ever achieved in a dark matter detector, 5 times lower than that in XENON1T. With an exposure of 1.16 ton-years, no excess signal above background is observed, and stringent new limits on solar axions, an enhanced neutrino magnetic moment, and bosonic dark matter are set.

Summary: The transport infrastructure is crucial for the interconnection of urban, rural, and commercial centers. However, the ageing phenomenon significantly reduces the useful life of asphalt pavements and requires greater financial resources for maintenance and rehabilitation. This study aims to review the state of the art regarding the UV ageing of bituminous materials and identify knowledge gaps and areas for further exploration. The mechanisms and laboratory protocols for simulating, evaluating, and mitigating UV ageing are explained in detail.

Summary: Lipid bilayer membranes cannot adequately explain peptide-lipid interactions as a hydrophobic continuum solvent. Peptide diffusion should be understood in terms of free volume, not classical continuum mechanics. Peptide solubility or partitioning in membranes cannot be explained solely by hydrophobic mismatch, and the folding and translocation of peptides require the understanding that lipids adapt to their presence and may undergo lipid redistribution.

Summary: This study examines driver mutations in cancer and questions whether activating mutations or signal strength play a larger role in tumor development. It suggests that signal strength, rather than the initial mutation, determines cell fate. Factors such as homeostatic mechanisms, additional mutations, and the expression levels of certain genes and regulators can impact signaling strength. Signal levels vary across cell types, states, and time windows due to chromatin structure. The study highlights the importance of determining signaling thresholds and predicting signal strength for improving patient outcomes.

Summary: This work demonstrates the synthesis and characterization of ultrathin metal oxide, biotene, using liquid-phase exfoliation from abundant biotite. The atomically thin biotene exhibits a flexoelectric response for energy harvesting and shows increased response in magnetic fields and thermal heating. The synthesis of 2D metal-oxide biotene suggests great potential for future energy generation and harvesting applications.

Summary: We developed a combined machine learning and high-throughput DFT framework to speed up the search for new ferroelectric materials. The framework predicts potential ferroelectric compounds based on elemental composition. Machine learning algorithms predict stable and insulating stoichiometries with polar crystal structures, and a classification model predicts their point groups. High-throughput DFT calculations find the lowest-energy crystal structure within each point group. Nonpolar parent structures are identified using group theory considerations, and the spontaneous polarization values are calculated using DFT. This method provides a powerful tool to explore new ferroelectric materials beyond existing databases.

Summary: The resource based view (RBV) is a comprehensive theory in management studies that focuses on the source and nature of an organization's strategic resources and capabilities. This special issue aimed to explore how the RBV and related theories can be further developed and applied in new contexts and in light of recent global developments. Through a bibliometric analysis of papers published in the Journal of Business Research, including 31 papers in this special issue, this opening piece identified themes and mapped future trends in the reconceptualization and development of these theories.

Summary: Water utilization is closely related to human development, but gaseous moisture has been underexploited as a resource. Highly efficient hygroscopic materials have enabled atmospheric water harvesting, converting moisture into clean water. The discovery of hygroelectricity and moisture-enabled electric generation (MEG) has advanced energy conversion and electricity output. This article systematically summarizes the evolution and development of MEG, discusses optimization strategies, presents the latest applications, and provides a perspective on future development to inspire researchers in this promising area.

Summary: We propose a method that can infer the 3D pose of mice from monocular videos, including their limbs and feet. This non-invasive method provides insights into animal health by accurately measuring their 3D motion. The inferred poses can estimate stride length even when the feet are mostly occluded, making it useful for continuous monitoring of animal health and classification based on age and genotype.

Summary: In this study, colored compounds with an apatite structure of compositions Sr5(PxVyCrzO4)3F (x + y + z = 1.0) were synthesized using a solid-state method. All compounds, except when z = 0.0, were colored in different shades of green. A comprehensive analysis of the structures of the synthesized ternary solid solutions was conducted, and the crystallographic boundaries of the isomorphous mixture were refined.
