Light‑Driven Propulsion of Graphene Aerogels in Microgravity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Ultralight graphene aerogels convert laser light into thrust. Parabolic‐flight experiments directly compare their motion in microgravity and at 1 g, revealing order‐of‐magnitude enhancements in distance, velocity, and transient thrust when weight and friction are removed (∼50 times enhancement).

Operando X‐Ray Diffraction and Total Scattering Characterization of Battery Materials: Not Just a Pretty Picture

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
This review focuses on operando studies of battery materials by X‐ray diffraction (XRD) and total X‐ray scattering (TXS). This work highlights potential pitfalls and identify best‐practices for operando studies and reviews some unusual experiments to illustrate how these methods can be applied beyond the evaluation of the early‐stage cycling mechanisms

Establishment and multifaceted characterization of a graded spinal cord injury model based on graduated impact depth

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
We established a graded spinal cord injury (SCI) model based on graduated impact depth, which was subsequently characterized across multiple dimensions, including locomotor function, imaging, histology, and transcriptomic profiles. We further identified transcriptomic changes in graded SCI at different time points postinjury and investigated the ...
