Drought Stress Mediated Changes in Food Crops: Mechanisms and Remediation Strategies
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This work presents a multi‐scale framework for flavonoid‐mediated drought tolerance in staple food crops, integrating ROS redox regulation, antioxidant defense, rhizosphere microbial interactions, and sustainable agronomic practices. This interdisciplinary model provides core insights to develop climate‐resilient cropping systems and enhance global ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.A Molecular Solar Thermal (MOST) system combining a scalable norbornadiene–quadricyclane photoswitch, a biodegradable solvent, propylene carbonate, and noble and first‐row metal catalysts, is presented. Propylene carbonate boosts photoisomerization quantum yield by 25% compared to toluene, prolongs energy storage by an additional 15 days, and enables ...

Re‐Thinking Electronic Circuit Design Through Emerging Reconfigurable Field Effect Transistors
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Graphical illustration of reconfigurable field effect transistor (RFET) operation modes, including n‐type, p‐type, and ambipolar transport, as well as their areas of application discussed in this review: digital circuit design, analog circuit design, post‐Shannon computing, and sensing. ABSTRACT Reconfigurable field‐effect transistors, short RFETs, are

Advanced Science, EarlyView.In this study, we demonstrate that aberrant MEKK3 signaling in endothelial cells and microglia drives the progression of cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs). Furthermore, we identify DPDH as a potent small‐molecule MEKK3 inhibitor with substantial therapeutic potential for CCM treatment.

A Biomimetic Solvatochromic Chip With Optimized Chemical Diversity for On‐Site Liquid Identification
Advanced Science, EarlyView.A compact biomimetic photonic‐gustatory chip uses Hansen‐solubility‐parameter‐guided solvatochromic disks to create distinct color patterns in organic liquids. An optimized four‐disk array distinguishes solvent types, ratios, homologues, isomers, and alcoholic beverages. Coupled with smartphone imaging and deep learning, it identifies 80 liquid classes
