A New Ordered Transformation‐Induced Plasticity Enables Exceptional Strength and Ductility in a B2 Medium‐Entropy Alloy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A novel B2‐ordered Ti‐Zr‐V‐Al medium‐entropy intermetallic is developed through controlled metastability engineering, which activates an ordered TRIP effect via a new B2→D019‐α2 transformation with a distinctive {0001}α2//{110}B2, <11‐20>α2//<100>B2 orientation relationship. This alloy achieves an elongation of ∼7%, a strength of ∼1.1 GPa, and superior

Bioinspired Metastable Transient Peeling for Repeatable Rapid Release

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Inspired by the explosive seed ejection of the squirting cucumber, this work introduces metastable transient peeling that temporally regulates stored interfacial energy release via a tunable energy barrier. A viscoelastic hemispherical gripper achieves 52 ms ultrafast, residue‐free release with 300 000‐cycle durability, enabling damage‐free handling of

Aryl‐Tethered Pendant Sterically Shielded Imidazoliums for Durable Anion Exchange Membranes

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An aryl‐tethered, sterically shielded imidazolium architecture protects cationic sites from hydroxide attack while avoiding vulnerable benzylic cation–polymer linkages. Incorporated into poly(arylimidazolium) membranes, this dual‐protection design enhances alkaline and oxidative durability and supports prolonged alkaline water electrolysis, offering a ...

Neuron‐Derived Vesicular circMagi1 Restrains Vascular Repair After Ischemic Stroke by Promoting TRIM65‐Mediated ANXA2 Degradation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
After ischemic stroke, injured neurons transfer circMagi1 to endothelial cells through extracellular vesicles. Within endothelial cells, circMagi1 binds ANXA2 and enhances its engagement with TRIM65, promoting ANXA2 ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation to constrain angiogenic repair.

Acid‐Responsive Nanobot‐Integrated Core‐Shell Microneedles Reprogram the Degenerative Annulus Fibrosus Microenvironment Through Epigenetic Suppression of Ferroptosis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An acid‐responsive core‐shell microneedle system normalizes the degenerative annulus fibrosus microenvironment by consuming pathological H+, generating O2, and providing NIR‐amplified redox buffering. Mechanistically, it epigenetically suppresses ferroptosis via DNMT3A‐dependent methylation of the ATF3 promoter, relieving ATF3‐mediated repression of ...

Developmental Environmental Chronotoxicity by Polystyrene Nanoplastics Exacerbates High‐Fat Diet‐Induced Pediatric MAFLD Through Circadian Disruption and Mitochondrial Dysfunction

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Polystyrene nanoplastics exacerbate high‐fat diet‐induced metabolic dysfunction in an age‐dependent manner. Juvenile mice exhibit greater susceptibility, characterized by circadian disruption, impaired mitochondrial function, reduced energy metabolism, and enhanced hepatic lipid accumulation.

Unequal Impact of Conservatism on Accrual Measures and Drivers: Implications for the Specification of Accrual Models [PDF]

This study makes two main contributions to the literature. Firstly, it tests empirically the relative timeliness of accrual measures and earnings components used as explanatory variables in accrual models (“accrual drivers”) regarding the impact of ...

Persistent Zn2+ Influx‐Mediated Deacetylation of ANXA2 Regulates the “Zn2+‐Autophagic Flux” and Alleviates Intervertebral Disc Degeneration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Zinc transporter SLC39A14 sustains intracellular Zn2+ levels to activate SIRT3‑dependent ANXA2 deacetylation at K302. This modification weakens ANXA2‑mTOR binding and releases autophagic‑flux suppression in nucleus pulposus cells. Dysregulated Zn2+ homeostasis disrupts this axis to drive intervertebral disc degeneration.

Bio‐Memristor Based on Clinical Bile Samples: A Proof‐of‐Concept Pilot Study for Detection of Gallbladder Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In this work, we present a bile‐based memristor hardware framework that enables direct, label‐free identification of cholelithiasis and gallbladder cancer at the device level. The Ag/bile/FTO memristor features stable resistive switching and disease‐specific electrical responses, providing a conceptual foundation for circuits and an integrated ERCP ...
