Two‐Dimensional Quaternary Alloys of (RuMoVNb)Se2 for Superior Hydrogen Evolution Reaction Catalysis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Composition‐tuned (RuMoVNb)Se2 quaternary alloy nanosheets are synthesized via colloidal reactions. Incorporation of Ru into (MoVNb)Se2 ternary alloys results in more metallic electronic structures and significantly enhances their electrocatalytic activity for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) under alkaline, acidic, and neutral conditions.

Leptoconops nosopheris sp. n. (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) and Paleotrypanosoma burmanicus gen. n., sp. n. (Kinetoplastida: Trypanosomatidae), a biting midge - trypanosome vector association from the Early Cretaceous

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2008
Leptoconops nosopheris sp. n. (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) is described from a blood-filled female biting midge in Early Cretaceous Burmese amber. The new species is characterized by a very elongate terminal flagellomere, elongate cerci, and an indistinct ...

A Sustainable Bio‐Based Epoxy Thermoset as a High‐Performance Alternative to BPA‐Based Resins

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A rigid–flexible bio‐based epoxy network integrates soybean oil, lignin, and maleic anhydride to overcome the strength–toughness–sustainability trade‐off of conventional BPA epoxy. The thermoset delivers excellent performance as both a structural adhesive and a matrix for glass‐fabric composites, while enabling pH‐responsive degradation, environmental ...

Probing Electrocatalyst Design for Product Selectivity in CO2 Reduction

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Selective CO2 electroreduction is controlled by catalyst structure, dynamic surface reconstruction, adsorbate interactions, and reaction microenvironment. This review summarizes Cu‐ and non‐Cu‐based catalysts, single‐atom and molecular systems, degradation pathways, and operando/computational strategies for steering CO2RR toward hydrocarbons ...

Ferroelectric Catalysts in the Hydrogen Evolution Reaction: A Perspective

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This perspective summarizes recent advances in ferroelectric (FE) catalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). It first introduces HER fundamentals and FE mechanisms, then classifies FE catalysts into single‐phase, single‐atom‐modified, heterostructured, and other engineered types, with representative examples.

Maximizing the Energy Output of Soft Electrohydraulic Generators

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Many energy resources cannot be viably harvested with electromagnetic generators. This article evaluates the potential of soft electrohydraulic generators as an alternative approach for energy capture. An analytical model charts their operational limits and a rigorous experimental study results in new performance benchmarks with maximum specific energy

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 ...

Interfacial Electric Field Engineering of High‐Entropy Heterostructures Triggering Self‐Limiting Reconstruction for Industrial‐Scale Electrocatalysis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An interfacial electric field engineering strategy is proposed to trigger the self‐limiting surface reconstruction of high‐entropy heterostructures. Driven by this built‐in field, the controlled sacrificial leaching of W evolves a robust active layer, enabling exceptional oxygen evolution performance and ultrastability at ampere‐level current densities
