Sustained and Efficient Ethanol Oxidation by Tethering Tunable N‐Donors Onto Integrated MXene/Pd‐Electrodes

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 2, 9 January 2026.
Three novel 3D layered integrated electrodes for Pd‐catalysed ethanol oxidation are developed; their innovative design features N‐heterocyclic amide linkers grafted on an MXene, co‐anchoring Pd nanoparticles via “hand‐in‐hand” coordination. The resulting well‐defined Pd (111) catalytic sites help achieve extremely stable long‐term cycling with ...

Distribution Network Fault Detection and Classification Using an Improved S‐Transform and a Modified Convolutional Neural Network

IET Generation, Transmission &Distribution, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
ABSTRACT In recent years, smart distribution networks have developed rapidly. However, complex electrical equipment and multisource monitoring data present great challenges for efficient fault detection in distribution networks. Accordingly, this study designs a multistage fault diagnosis framework based on a modified convolutional neural network (MCNN)

An Investigation of Colistin Heteroresistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolates in Iran

BioMed Research International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background According to the World Health Organization 2024 bacterial priority pathogens list, carbapenem‐resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) were listed among the critical priority pathogens. Heteroresistance (i.e., a bacterial isolate that appears susceptible but harbors resistant subpopulations) represents a challenge in traditional laboratory testing ...
