Sonoselective Transfection of Glioma Endothelium

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Delivering non‐viral, gene‐bearing nanoparticles with thiol‐decorated surfaces to gliomas with focused ultrasound yields transfection tropism for endothelial cells. From this platform, “sonoselective” transfection of glioma endothelium is achieved via incorporation of an endothelial cell‐specific promoter.

Resolving the fire governance paradox in an increasingly fire-prone world

Communications Earth & Environment
Fire is a planetary-scale governance challenge. Across fire-prone landscapes of the Global South, managing fire to support biodiversity, livelihoods and climate resilience requires approaches and policy to move beyond treating fire as a uniform threat ...

Multi‐Scale Bionic Structure Constructs Biomass Flame‐Retardant Thermal Insulation Foam Material

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Inspired by mussel adhesion and hierarchical brick‐and‐mortar architectures, a cellulose‐based biomimetic foam is constructed by anchoring bentonite nanosheets onto a polydopamine‐decorated cellulose nanofiber network. The resulting foam combines low thermal conductivity with intrinsic flame retardancy and full biodegradability, presenting a ...

VlPAG/DRN Microglia Drive Neuropathic Pain‐Induced Depression via a Defined Neuroimmune Axis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Peripheral nerve injury (SNI) induces neuropathic pain, activates midbrain microglia, and triggers an NLRP3–IL‐1β–dependent inflammatory cascade. IL‐1β signals through IL‐1R1 on vlPAG/DRN VGLUT2+ neurons (vlPAG/DRNGlu), inducing hyperexcitability and driving the vlPAG/DRNGlu→BNSTGABA circuit to produce the affective component of neuropathic pain ...

Neuromorphic Optical Tracking and Imaging of Randomly Moving Targets Through Dynamic Dense Scattering Media

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Vision begins not with images but with change: the retina fires only when something moves, handing the brain a stream of spikes. A neuromorphic imaging system adopts the same strategy—an event sensor that sees like the retina, a spiking network that thinks like the brain—to track and reconstruct fully randomly moving targets through tissue (phantom ...

Heat‐to‐Electricity Conversion Using Barium Strontium Titanate Multilayer Capacitors

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Lead‐free barium strontium titanate multilayer capacitors convert waste heat into electricity via the Olsen electro‐thermodynamic cycle. These capacitors achieve an energy density of 3.7 J cm−3, comparable to the performance of lead‐based ceramics. Their high dielectric strength and broad operating temperature window below 100°C make them practical for

Neuromorphic Devices and Computing for Sensing, Memory, and Control

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This review introduces neuromorphic devices made from diverse materials. These devices mimic neuronal functions and architectures and, when integrated with artificial or biological computing, can form closed loops with neurons for pressure, optical, acoustic, and biochemical sensing and modulation.
