A Pentaradial and Bilateral Combined Photoreception System in the Sea Cucumber is Mediated by a Blue Light‐Sensitive R‐Opsin

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The sea cucumber Holothuria leucospilota detects blue and adjacent wavelengths of light via an r‐opsin with a maximum absorption at 459 nm. In the oral tentacles, papillae, and tube feet, distinct light‐sensing structures with specialized morphologies are formed, constituting a unique pentaradial and bilateral combined photoreception system.

Phase‐Resolved Dual Control of Phenol Photodissociation at the Air–Water Interface From Structure‐Resolved Statistics

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Faster phenol photolysis at the air–water interface arises from two cooperative factors: a more favorable initial microenvironment for solvent‐side electron stabilization, which lowers CI access, and a more labile hydrogen‐bond network, which more readily reorganizes to stabilize the dark‐state intermediate.

Deprotonation and Alkylation of Weakly Acidic C(sp3)─H Bonds Through In Situ Generation of a Strong Hydride Base From 1,1,3,3‐Tetramethyldisiloxane and Potassium tert‐Butoxide

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
The use of 1,1,3,3‐tetramethyldisiloxane (TMDSO) and potassium tert‐butoxide enables direct alkylation of weakly acidic carbon–hydrogen bonds with alkyl halides. Experimental and computational studies support the formation of a substrate‐associated hydride‐like base, providing a single‐step alternative to the classical deprotonation and electrophile ...

The Preparatory (Anti)Bonding Character of Molecular Orbitals

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Herein, a concept to qualitatively predict changes in bond dissociation energies upon reduction or oxidation of molecular compounds is introduced. Changing the population of so‐called preparatory molecular orbitals influences how molecular fragments are relaxing after bond cleavage, which is shown for isolated organometallic aluminum compounds as well ...

Self‐Assembled Pt(II) Complexes Boost Up Stem Cell Proliferation and Accelerate Metamorphosis in Living Organisms

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Pt1, an organometallic platinum‐based complex, act as a modulator of redox homeostasis in cnidarians, regulating cellular functions and life‐cycle dynamics. In Nematostella vectensis, it mitigates oxidative stress, strengthens detox systems and accelerates development.

Metal Battery Anode: Rich in Electrons, Rich in Problems: A Critical Review from Industrial Perspectives

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Metal‐anode batteries using Li, Na, Mg, and Ca offer exceptionally high energy density, but dendrites, unstable interphases, cracking, and pore formation hinder durability and safety. This review shows how careful electrolyte and interphase design can stabilize these reactive metals.

Inverse Design of Pre‐Strain via a Predictive Electromechanical Model for Enhanced Strain Sensing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An analytical electromechanical model rooted in microcrack evolution mechanics is globally calibrated from only eight pre‐strain datasets, enabling prediction of the complete sensing response at untested pre‐strain values within the calibrated design space (R2 > 0.99).

Revealing the Underlying Mechanisms in Performance Enhancement of Shellular Lattice Electrodes During Anion Exchange Membrane Water Electrolysis Process

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Micro laser powder bed fusion enables architected nickel shellular lattice gas diffusion layers for anion exchange membrane water electrolysis. Among regular open cell geometries, the Gyroid lattice promotes bubble release, convective reactant replenishment and continuous electron transport, delivering low overpotentials, enhanced charge transfer and ...

Double-crowned valved stents for off-pump mitral valve replacement☆ [PDF]

European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2005
An animal model has been designed to assess the feasibility of off-pump mitral valve replacement using valved stents.Glutaraldehyde-preserved homograft was sutured inside a prosthetic tube (Dacron). Then, two self-expandable nitinol Z-stents were sutured on the external surface of the prosthesis in such a way to create two self-expanding crowns for ...
