RNA Promotes Synapsin Condensates That Organize Synaptic Vesicles in Live Neurons and Enable Localized Translation in Reconstituted System

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Condensates at synapses organize synaptic vesicles (SVs) and are crucial for efficient neurotransmitter release, yet how RNA contributes to this mesoscale architecture remains poorly understood. Here we uncover that RNA modulates synapsin–driven condensates.

MetaboSense: An Integrated Quantum Dot‐Mediated Aptamer Assay and Modular Microfluidic Platform for Continuous In‐Line Monitoring of Lung Metabolism During Ex Vivo Perfusion

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
MetaboSense is a first‐of‐its‐kind microfluidic platform enabling continuous, in‐line monitoring of glucose and lactate during ex vivo lung perfusion. Combining a quantum dot–mediated aptamer assay with mixing, depletion, and optofluidic detection modules, it achieves 60–s temporal resolution and shows strong agreement with standard blood gas analyzers,

Coordinated Control Strategy for Hybrid Black Start with LCC HVDC System and Auxiliary Synchronous Generator

CSEE Journal of Power and Energy Systems
Inverter-based resources (IBRs) are expected to support black start in case of blackout events, as they can significantly speed up restoration process. This paper proposes a coordinated control scheme to improve frequency and voltage stability for hybrid

Orientation‐Engineered Insulator‐Metal Transition in Vanadium Dioxide

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Crystallographic orientation engineering in VO2/TiO2 heterostructures enables tunable insulator‐metal transitions. The high‐Miller‐index (102) orientation breaks in‐plane mirror symmetry, inducing anisotropic transport, while its inclined oxygen channels accelerate protonation kinetics.

The potential and pitfalls of de-extinction

, 2016
‘De-extinction’ is the nascent discipline that aims to one day literally revive now-extinct species from the dead. Although we have yet to see any successful attempts to truly resurrect an extinct species, several technologies are now in place that might

Unveiling a Near‐Total Rear Passivation for High Performance of Ultra‐Thin ACIGS

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Ultra‐thin solar cells of (Ag,Cu)(In,Ga)Se2 (ACIGS) suffer from rear interface recombination, limiting their performance. To tackle it, a full coverage plasma enhanced chemically vapor‐deposited 8 nm porous SiOx passivation layer was implemented and evaluated. It is shown that a combination of the near‐complete passivation from silica and the formation

Switching Spike Plasticity Shapes ACE2 Engagement Across SARS‐CoV‐2 Variants

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Conformational plasticity governs SARS‐CoV‐2 spike function and ACE2 recognition. Using high‐speed AFM and single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we analyzed the ancestral spike and nine variants, revealing progressive rigidification from Delta, variable plasticity in Omicron sublineages, and JN.1 compaction.

α‐Synuclein Forms Distinct Micelle‐Like Assemblies at Low Ionic Strengths

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
At high ionic strength, α‐synuclein forms diverse assemblies, including oligomers, fibrils, and condensates. Here, we show that at low ionic strength, α‐synuclein adopts a distinct, low‐abundance assembly state. These assemblies maintain a constant size above a critical concentration and do not coalesce, suggesting a micelle‐like organization ...
