Mitochondria‐Specific Protein Delivery by Protease‐Triggered Release in Plants with Single‐Walled Carbon Nanotubes

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Polymer‐coated carbon nanotubes were engineered as protease‐responsive nanocarriers for protein delivery in intact plants. GFP cargo can be released by cytosolic phytaspase cleavage and subsequently targeted to mitochondria via an N‐terminal sequence, enabling controlled intracellular protein delivery without tissue damage and demonstrating stable ...

Anti‐Slip Material‐Based Strategies and Approaches

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This review highlights the principle mechanisms of slipping at the microscale, linking contact mechanics with a friction behavior model for surface interfaces. Main strategies to develop anti‐slip properties to the surfaces are discussed alongside standardized testing approaches.

Economic burden of ambulance transports for patients with heatstroke under climate change: comparison of the effects of gradual temperature increases and extreme heat events

Environmental Research Communications
Although the risk of heatstroke is already severe in Japan, it is expected to increase due to climate change. Researchers have mainly focused on future increases in heatstroke morbidity and mortality to project the risk of heatstroke in Japan.

Engineering of Double Absorber Organic‐Perovskite Solar Cells for >34% Efficiency with V2O5 as Back Surface Field Layer

Advanced Photonics Research, EarlyView.
This study investigates high‐efficiency double perovskite active layer (DPAL) structures using MAPbI3 and MASnI3 to surpass the Shockley‐Queisser limit in single‐junction perovskite solar cells. SCAPS‐1D simulations show that the V2O5‐assisted DPAL device achieves 34.14% power conversion efficiency with improved JSC, VOC, and FF.
