Bidirectionally Thermochromic Nanocolloid System for on‐Demand Optical Switching and Agricultural Energy Management

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A bidirectionally thermochromic nanocolloid system is developed for facility agriculture. The bidirectional and wide‐temperature response dynamically modulates light radiation, stabilizing the indoor climate, improving supplemental lighting efficiency, and accelerating plant photosynthesis.

Childhood predictors of balance in life: a cross-national analysis of the global flourishing study

Scientific Reports
Although the importance of balance has been recognized in various specific domains, from work-life balance to a balanced diet, there has been curiously little attention to balance in life overall (i.e., across all aspects of living).

Encapsulating Textiles with Dynamic Covalent Networks for Sustainable and Efficient Oil Spill Cleanup

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
By encapsulating industrially relevant fabrics with dynamic imine networks, we show that the resulting composites exhibit exceptional oil absorbtion capability and chemical recyclability. It is poised for sustainable oil spill cleanup. ABSTRACT The development of high‐performance sorbents for oil spill remediation is highly desirable, which now calls ...

Transcription Factor Promiscuity Drives Regulatory Rewiring and Evolvability in Gene Networks in Bacteria

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This special issue marking the University of Bath's 60th anniversary offers an opportunity to reflect on nearly a decade of research into the evolution of gene regulatory networks (GRNs) from members of the lab and elsewhere. Our goal is to understand how GRNs rewire and how new transcription factor (TF) functions evolve. Using an experimental

Topological Defects in Carbon Matrix Are Efficiently Constructed by Joule Thermal Shock for Catalyzing the Growth of Carbon Nanotubes

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The Joule thermal shock technique ensures the efficient construction of topological defects in the carbon matrix because the instantaneous cooling suppresses the graphitization rearrangement of the heteroatom removal sites. This topological defect carbon can activate carbon source molecules by electron transfer, and further grow into carbon nanotubes ...

Characterizing the childhood roots of adult sense of mastery across 22 countries in the global flourishing study

Scientific Reports
How might we cultivate a life imbued with a sense of mastery? An expanding body of research demonstrates that a heightened sense of mastery improves health and well-being outcomes. Despite this, it remains unclear which childhood factors foster increased
