Mixed plastic waste remains difficult to upcycle selectively under mild conditions, and piezocatalysis has been constrained by a persistent see‐saw effect: Stronger piezoelectric polarization tends to divert charge carriers away from the very active sites that drive catalysis. Sha et al. (Nature Communications, 2026)…

Synthesis of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) for mRNA delivery is now standardized and automated. In contrast, post-synthesis purification-ethanol removal, clearance of unencapsulated components, and buffer exchange-remains less controlled. Conventional bulk dialysis is time-consuming, whereas centrifugal ultrafiltration,…

We apply a modal framework for investigating the effect of density variations on gravity-type driven flows at the nanoscale. Using eigenfunction decomposition of the density and acceleration fields, each shear-pressure mode is separated into a homogeneous contribution and an inhomogeneous contribution determined by th…

The photocatalytic degradation of Ciprofloxacin (CIP) was evaluated under ultraviolet photo irradiation and a composite of β-Ga2O3 with nanocellulose citrate-capped fibers (CNCFs) at an 80:20 weight ratio (β-Ga2O3/20%CNCFs). At a dosage of 2 mg photocatalyst and optimized conditions, the CIP degradation rate (k = 2.88…

This paper establishes the global existence of non-negative weak solutions to a two-dimensional, fourth-order nonlinear degenerate parabolic equation modeling surface-tension-driven convection in thin fluid films. First, we construct a regularized approximate problem and prove its solvability via the Galerkin method.…

Abstract Scientific work depends on memory, provenance, and continuity across projects, yet most agentic scientist systems are evaluated in bounded workflows or short benchmark runs. We describe a persistent fleet of cooperative AI scientist agents that operated continuously for nearly six months using shared memory,…

GPT attention measures token compatibility through dot-product similarity. This mechanism is simple, effective, and memory-efficient. But it does not explicitly model whether strong token features should reinforce or suppress one another. We introduce Q-Interference, a fully classical quantum-inspired attention mechan…

The exploration of topological fermions and bosons marks a new chapter in condensed matter physics, unveiling rich and unconventional phenomena. Particularly in quantum field theory, exotic quasiparticle excitations such as Dirac and Weyl fermions can serve as direct analogs, and their recent experimental realizations…

To address the challenge that elastic wave energy can only transmit through narrow path waveguides in topological metamaterials, the proposal of large area waveguides effectively breaks through this technical bottleneck. Nevertheless, elastic waves are vector waves with complex multi component transmission characteris…

Recent efforts toward fully automated AI scientists have demonstrated that language-model agents can generate hypotheses, execute experiments, and draft scientific manuscripts. However, during the early stages of research, when research problems are formulated, these AI scientists often rely heavily on proprietary fro…

Thiele-based descriptions of magnetic vortex dynamics in thin ferromagnetic nanodots rely on magnetization ansätze that describe the equilibrium texture but cannot represent perturbation-induced deformations. We introduce the Deformed Image Vortex Ansatz (DIVA): a perturbation-aware ansatz in which the response to an…

Ti/SnO2-Sb-Ni (Ti/NATO) is an effective anode for electrochemical ozone production (EOP), yet its limited service life hinders practical use. TiO2 nanotube arrays (TNTAs) with tunable inner diameter, outer diameter, and length were constructed on Ti substrates as an interlayer, and their geometric effects on the stabi…

Drug discovery and development underpins healthcare but remains costly and failure-prone. A critical bottleneck lies in predicting molecular properties such as solubility, potency, and toxicity, which directly determine whether a candidate can advance from preclinical to clinical trials.

ABSTRACT Severe voltage polarization limits the deployment of zinc–iodine batteries by collapsing energy/power output under high iodine loadings (> 10 mg cm −2 ) and current densities (> 3 A g −1 ). Yet its origins remain unresolved because ohmic, charge‐transfer, and mass‐transport losses evolve concurrently during o…
