Targeted Multifunctional Fluorine‐Rich Copolymer Coating Design for Ambient‐Stable Prelithiated SiOC Anodes

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A fluorine‐rich acrylate copolymer, poly (tridecafluorooctyl methacrylate‐co‐methyl methacrylate) (PFMMA), is introduced as a multifunctional protective coating to stabilize the prelithiated SiOC electrodes in humid conditions and preserve unimpeded interfacial ion/charge transport during redox reactions.

Middle Class Evolving To Precariat: Labour Conditions for the 21st Century

open access: yesSocial Work and Society, 2016
Middle Class has become a confusing term. Low, medium and high middle classes are attempts to reorganize meaning. The appearance of new middle classes in emergent countries adds new difficulties to make sense of the concept.

Absorption of Broadband Low‐Frequency Sound Beyond the Thermodynamics Limit: An Acoustic Resonator With Magnetic Bearing

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This work presents a magnetic‐bearing acoustic resonator that overcomes the thermodynamics limit of sound absorption. By introducing tunable negative stiffness, it achieves broadband low‐frequency absorption within a compact cavity, far exceeding the performance achievable by classic mass‐tuned designs.

Enhancing Super‐Resolution Spatial Transcriptomics Data by Transfer Learning

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
SpotZoomer employs a transfer‐learning‐based strategy to enhance the resolution of Visium data by leveraging available high‐resolution priors. The resulting super‐resolved maps enable sharper delineation of cell boundaries and more precise inference of cell–cell communication patterns that would otherwise remain obscured at native resolution.

Green consumerism and collective action [PDF]

open access: yes
We analyze the effect of collective action by green/environmentally aware consumers on ambient environmental quality and market equilibrium. We consider a model with two types of consumers who differ in their willingness-to-pay for a good available in ...

TPI1 Loss Triggers a Metabolite‐Driven Mitochondrial Redox Vulnerability via the SARM1–cADPR–Ca2+ Axis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Metabolite‐driven redox stress governs cancer cell senescence. TPI1 deficiency elevates DHAP, initiating SARM1‐dependent cADPR‐Ca2+ release. Mitochondrial ROS surge subsequently induces DNA damage and senescence, offering a conserved therapeutic target in multiple cancers.

Cicada Wing‐Inspired Skeleton‐GO Networks in Melamine Foams for Multifunctional High‐Performance Composites

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Inspired by the intricate microstructure of cicada wings, researchers developed a novel in situ skeleton‐graphene membrane architecture within lightweight foams. This bioinspired design dramatically enhances multifunctional performance: vibration attenuation time decreases by ∼83.3%, damping capacity increases by ∼179.3%, and compressive modulus rises ...

Habits of Sustainable Citizenship : The Example of Political Consumerism

open access: yes, 2012
This article develops the notion of sustainable citizenship, investigates the kinds of citizenship practices that emerge from and in the market and theorizes how the roles of citizen and consumer are increasingly forged together.
