Nanocrystalline Cellulose from the Solitary Tunicate Phallusia Mammillata, a Valuable Nanocellulose Precursor

Advanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
This study explores the potential of locally harvested Phallusia mammillata, a tunicate usually discarded as waste from mussles farming as a viable source for producing various high‐grade cellulose derivatives in the form of nanofibrils (NFC) and nanocrystals (CNC). Abstract Ascidians are ubiquitous filter‐feeding marine invertebrates, the only animals

Unraveling the Interfacial Properties of Twisted Single‐Crystal Au(111)/MoS2 Heterostructures: A Pathway to Robust Superlubricity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Interfacial mechanical properties of MoS2/Au(111) heterostructures are revealed by advanced experimental and computational methods. The developed semi‐anisotropic interlayer potential (SAIP) accurately predicts moiré‐driven out‐of‐plane corrugation, aligning with experimental observations.

Micro‐Coil Neuromodulation at Single‐Cell and Circuit Levels for Inhibiting Natural Neuroactivity, Neutralizing Electric Neural Excitation, and Suppressing Seizures

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Micromagnetic stimulation (µMS) offers a precise method for neural inhibition, complementing existing neuromodulation techniques. Using an implantable micro‐coil device, µMS selectively suppresses cortical activity with high spatial resolution. It effectively counteracts micro‐electrode stimulation and reduces seizure amplitude, highlighting its ...

Surface‐Engineered Cenospheres Encapsulating Phase Change Materials for Functional Cementitious Composites

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The global energy demand drives the need for advanced energy‐efficient building solutions. While current polymeric‐shell microencapsulated PCMs show promise for thermal energy storage, their use in cementitious materials is challenged by poor shell strength and interfacial bonding. This study develops novel cement‐compatible microencapsulated PCM using

Virome and Experimental Analysis Reveal Tryptophan‐Like Dissolved Organic Matter Contributes to the Persistence of Plant Viruses in River Water

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Tryptophan‐like dissolved organic matter (Try‐like DOM), a key component of organic matter in river ecosystems, demonstrates significant protective effects against plant viruses. The protective mechanism operates via a “swimming firewall” mode, whereby free Try‐like DOM attenuates ultraviolet (UV) radiation and scavenges reactive oxygen species ...

Dissolution of Spent Lithium‐Ion Battery Cathode Materials: Overlooked Significance of Aluminum Impurities

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
During the mechanical crushing of retired lithium‐ion batteries, aluminum foil from current collectors may penetrate NCM active crystals through frictional contact, forming more stable Al─O bonds. The dissolution behavior of critical metals in NCM cathodes will be influenced to varying extents by different mechanisms in various hydrometallurgical ...
