Mode‐dependent Far‐field Radiation of Circularly Polarized Light by a Single Plasmonic Nanohelix
Advanced Optical Materials, Volume 13, Issue 8, March 13, 2025.The numerical simulations explored the chiroptical response and far‐field radiation behaviors of single plasmonic nanoantennas transitioning into helical structures. This study highlights the ability of these plasmonic nanohelices to regulate the far‐field directionality of radiation power and circular polarization in plasmon‐exciton coupled systems ...

Advances and Outlook of Nickel‐Based MOFs–LDHs Materials for Energy Conversion
Advanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.In this graphical abstract, we present the pivotal gap between the activity and stability parameters as far as intergrated Ni‐based MOF/LDF electrocatalysts are concerned. For large scale application, these two parameters should be optimized and furthermore balanced in order to promote sustainable electrocatalytic hydrogen production.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Midkine (MDK) is a mediator of the interaction between pancreatic cancer and beta cells. MDK, which originated from pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma cells, exerted deleterious effects on paraneoplastic beta cells by binding to the SDC4 receptor on the beta cell surface and subsequently downregulating the Ras signaling pathway, thereby impairing insulin

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Nonsyndromic orofacial clefts (NSOFCs) are the most common craniofacial defects. Exome sequencing of 214 sporadic cases sheds new light on its genetic architecture and identifies many candidate pathogenic variants. Furthermore, functional studies establish BOC as a novel causal gene and reveal an unusual two‐locus model of inheritance via the epistatic
