From Surface to Bulk Activation: Tailoring the Porosity and Surface Chemistry of Resorcinol‐Formaldehyde Carbon Sorbents for Atmospheric Water Harvesting

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
A bulk activation route to produce nanoporous carbons for atmospheric water harvesting by incorporating potassium hydroxide during resorcinol‐formaldehyde polycondensation. These high‐oxygen sorbents deliver daily water yields up to 23 L kg−1 day−1 with great cyclability, providing a scalable solution for water production in diverse climates.

Singing on key: An integrative taxonomic revision of barking geckos (Gekkonidae: Ptenopus) with six additional species and keys for morphology and advertisement calls [PDF]

Vertebrate Zoology
Barking geckos, Ptenopus Gray, 1866 are burrowing geckos that occur across the xeric regions of southern Africa. They possess unique vocal abilities, with males producing loud advertisement calls to attract females. The taxonomy of the genus has remained

Integrative Omics Analysis Reveals the Regulation of Hypoxia Tolerance in Large Yellow Croaker (Larimichthys crocea) via the Lipoic Acid Synthase (lias) Gene

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Lipoic acid synthase (lias) can regulate α‐KG levels through lipoylation, thereby negatively regulating HIF‐1α protein levels via PHD under hypoixa. The Hap2 allele of lias exhibits lower expression levels than Hap1, leading to the accumulation of more HIF‐1α protein and thereby enhancing hypoxia tolerance. ABSTRACT Hypoxia stress seriously affects the

Black Hole Quencher‐Enhanced Plasmonic Photothermal Conversion

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Researchers have developed a universal method to boost plasmonic photothermal conversion by attaching black hole quencher (BHQ) molecules to matched metal nanostructures. This hybrid approach increases efficiency by roughly threefold, reaching up to 69.1% in the near‐infrared‐II window.

Ultrathin 2D In2O3 Nanosheets Confining Cu Single Atoms Synergized With Oxygen Vacancies for High Selectivity of Photocatalytic Reduction of CO2 to CO

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In this work, we constructed an ultrathin two‐dimensional (2D) In2O3 nanosheet (In2O3‐Ns) structure based on oxygen vacancies (OV)‐rich defects and low crystallinity to anchor Cu single atoms (Cu SAs) and synthesized Cu/In2O3‐Ns photocatalysts. ABSTRACT In this work, we constructed an ultrathin two‐dimensional (2D) In2O3 nanosheet (In2O3‐Ns) structure ...
