Spectral‐Integrated Thermal Absorption Model for Broadband Laser‐Protective Reflectors Under Supercontinuum Irradiation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A universal laser absorption model based on spectral integration enables the design of ultrabroadband dielectric multilayer reflectors for laser protection. The model reveals exponential decay of absorption characterized by two coefficients, and a design that prioritizes short‐wavelength reflection minimizes heating.

Global Nitrogen Deposition Promotes Carbon Sink Formation in Terrestrial Ecosystems

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Nitrogen deposition alleviates ecosystem N limitation and enhances carbon sinks. Using 829 observations, we show 36% of deposited N is retained globally (39.15 Tg N yr−1), with distinct NHx and NOy contributions. This retention drives a terrestrial C sink of 0.88 Pg C yr−1 (25.48%), highlighting the importance of pool‐specific C:N stoichiometry ...

Macrophage Extracellular Traps in Immunity and Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
As a macrophage‐mediated innate defense mechanism, the dysregulated release of METs drives chronic inflammation and influences tumor progression. Furthermore, METs exhibit a functional duality within the tumor microenvironment, capable of both promoting and suppressing tumor development.

An On‐Demand Neuromorphic Vision System Enabled by a Multi‐Paradigm Neuromorphic Device and Hierarchical Reconfigurability Designed from Device to System Level

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An on‐demand ultra‐reconfigurable intelligent vision system with hierarchical reconfigurability from device to system levels is demonstrated. Through co‐design of a multi‐paradigm device, reconfigurable circuits, and adaptive system architecture/algorithms, the system enables seamless switching among spiking, non‐spiking, neuromorphic imaging (NI), and

In Situ Quantization with Memory‐Transistor Transfer Unit Based on Electrochemical Random‐Access Memory for Edge Applications

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
By combining ionic nonvolatile memories and transistors, this work proposes a compact synaptic unit to enable low‐precision neural network training. The design supports in situ weight quantization without extra programming and achieves accuracy comparable to ideal methods. This work obtains energy consumption advantage of 25.51× (ECRAM) and 4.84× (RRAM)

Lattice Genome Framework for Regionally Tailored Component‐Level Multi‐Objective Design in Additive Manufacturing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A Lattice Genome framework links geometric and process “genes” to lattice “phenotypes” via correction‐calibrated high‐throughput simulations and a growing performance database. Genome‐driven retrieval and recombination of unit cells enables component‐level, regionally tailored multi‐objective design: stress fields are programmed under constant relative

AI‐Assisted Self‐Powered Wearable Dual‐Mode Sensor With TENG and Stretchable Optical Fiber for Neurological Disorder Diagnostics

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This manuscript presents the WDMS platform, an AI‐assisted, self‐powered wearable dual‐mode sensor for tele‐neurology. It integrates a contact–separation TENG insole with stretchable polyurethane optical‐fiber strain sensors to synchronously track plantar pressure and lower‐limb muscle deformation.
