Advanced Science, EarlyView.Palatable food alleviates stress and prevents anxiety. This study uncovers a dedicated neural pathway: dopamine release in the PFC activates D1R neurons, whose projections to the peri‐PVN engage a population of anxiolytic CRFR1 neurons. These neurons then inhibit stress‐induced hyperactivity of PVNCRF neurons, providing a circuit‐level explanation for ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Defect‐configurational origins of the asymmetric apparent electrostrain are revealed in different piezoelectric ceramics via atomic‐scale visualization of defect configurations. Migration of oxygen vacancies leads to the electrobending effect in N2‐sintered BaTiO3, while defect dipoles in Ba0.99TiO2.99 generate true asymmetric electrostrain without ...

Regional Climate Change as a Driver in Forest Fires
Most of the forest fires have an anthropogenic origin. However, meteorological droughts can create conditions for fires to spread in greater numbers and extent. Two cases are presented in southern Mexico and Guatemala, where human activities have generated large forest losses.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This work develops a breathable potentiometric self‐powered pressure sensor with good wearability, using a non‐woven fabric substrate and hydrogel electrolyte. The sensor is integrated into a five‐channel smart glove to acquire reliable hand motion signals, which are processed by a CNN for identity verification and smart vehicle control in human ...

Inhibitory Decay and Supercritical Brain Dynamics During Sleep Deprivation
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Sleep deprivation progressively shifts human brain dynamics from near‐critical toward supercritical states, as revealed by neuronal avalanche analysis of resting‐state fMRI. These changes track subjective sleep pressure rather than vigilance lapses and show marked network heterogeneity. A circuit model suggests that reduced inhibitory efficacy provides

Neuromorphic Near‐Sensor and In‐Sensor Computing Enabled by Next‐Generation Material‐Based Sensors
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This Review presents a structural framework that classifies neuromorphic sensing into near‐sensor and in‐sensor architectures, clarifying physical coupling between sensing and computation. The framework connects neural and synaptic device functions with recent advances in optical, mechanical, and chemical sensing, compares energy consumption and ...

Photonic‐Enabled Energy‐Efficient Transparent Neuromorphic Computing Devices: A Review
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Transparent photonic neuromorphic computing devices merge optics and brain‐inspired computing to overcome von Neumann bottlenecks with ultrafast, low‐energy processing. By exploiting transparent oxides, 2D materials, phase‐change materials, and hybrid heterostructures, these platforms enable photonic synapses, memory, and logic for see‐through edge ...

Extra Climate Benefits From Afforestation Due to Reduced Forest Fragmentation in China
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Afforestation in China reduced forest fragmentation in 2015, transforming 51.8 M ha of edge forests into interior forests. This enhanced carbon sequestration (1.4±0.2 Pg CO2e, a cooling biogeochemical effect), while reduced albedo (−0.9 Pg CO2e, a warming biophysical effect) partially offset the gain, yielding a net extra climate benefit of ...
