From Materials to Systems: Challenges and Solutions for Fast‐Charge/Discharge Na‐Ion Batteries

open access: yesAdvanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
This review systematically analyzes the key characteristics limiting the fast‐charge/discharge capability of Na‐ion batteries (SIBs) from a multi‐scale perspective encompassing electrode materials, the electrode‐electrolyte interface, and the system. Furthermore, it presents practical solution strategies for the fundamental issues arising at each scale,

‘'Rightsize'’: a housing design game for spatial and energy sufficiency

open access: yesBuildings & Cities
A chronic misallocation of housing space in the UK creates sufficiency problems because some people do not have enough space, whilst others use excess energy to heat and cool unoccupied rooms.

Dual Band Optimization and Defect Engineering Enable Ultrahigh Thermoelectric Performance in Filled Skutterudites

open access: yesAdvanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
A synergistic dual‐modulation strategy is employed in Yb‐filled skutterudites through concurrent indium filling and tellurium doping to optimize electronic band structure and phonon scattering. Cooperative band convergence and nanoprecipitate‐induced lattice distortions yield a high zT of 1.72 and enable an ultra‐efficient thermoelectric device with 8 ...

Total Neoadjuvant Therapy for Rectal Cancer: Why Japan Says “Not Yet”

open access: yesAnnals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT) has rapidly gained global acceptance as a standard treatment for locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC). Supported by multiple phase III trials, TNT improves pathological complete response (pCR) rates, enhances systemic control, and expands opportunities for non‐operative management (NOM).

Soft Magnetic Sensor Array for Amphibious Measurement of 3D Muscle Deformation Distribution for Human Motion Recognition

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This article develops a soft magnetic sensor array to extract 3D and distributional muscle deformations, which has highly consistent measurements in amphibious environments, robustness to hydraulic pressure, and about 200 ms faster response than an inertial measurement unit, achieving over 98% classification accuracy and below 3% phase estimation ...

Downsizing of Star-Forming Galaxies by Gravitational Processes

open access: yes, 2006
There is observed a trend that a lower mass galaxy forms stars at a later epoch. This downsizing of star-forming galaxies has been attributed to hydrodynamical or radiative feedback processes that regulate star formation.
