Lightning is a major cause of large tree mortality in a lowland Neotropical forest.

open access: yesNew Phytologist, 2019
The mortality rates of large trees are critical to determining carbon stocks in tropical forests, but the mechanisms of tropical tree mortality remain poorly understood.

Biomedical Application of Cold Plasma: Navigating Through Plasma Types and Devices by Antimicrobial Effectiveness and Tissue Tolerance

open access: yesAdvanced Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Cold plasma devices (J‐Plasma, Piezo Brush PZ3, Plasma Care) generate unique reactive species that penetrate tissues differently, enabling biofilm eradication while preserving tissue health. This study uncovers plasma‐device interactions with biofilms and surfaces, highlighting tailored applications for precision medicine and infection control ...

Retrospective Observation of Ball Lightning [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2022
Ball lightning is a very rarely observed phenomenon that makes it extremely difficult to characterize scientifically. Eye-witness accounts of ball lightning that describe many features in common have been variously recorded for centuries. This note is an account of my observation of ball lightning almost five decades ago.

Crystal Structure Prediction of Cs–Te with Supervised Machine Learning

open access: yesAdvanced Theory and Simulations, EarlyView.
High‐throughput density functional theory calculations combined with machine learning models are employed to predict stable Cs– Te binary crystals. By systematically evaluating various structural descriptors and learning algorithms, the superiority of models based on atomic coordination environments is revealed.

Cost‐Effective Identification of Hepatocellular Carcinoma from Cirrhosis or Chronic Hepatitis Virus Infection Using Eight Methylated Plasma DNA Markers

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Early detection of hepatocellular carcinoma in patients with liver cirrhosis and/or hepatitis virus B/C infection improves survival. Through marker discovery, 8 methylated DNA markers are identified and a logistic regression model (COMET‐LR) is built in the training set, which achieved 90.0% sensitivity at 97.4% specificity in the validation set.

Reshape the Fates of Treg and CD8+T Cells Through IL‐2Rα by Synergizing Divergent Receptor‐Biased IL‐2 PEGylates

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study presents receptor‐biased IL‐2 PEGylates that selectively modulate IL‐2 receptor subunit interactions to enhance CD8⁺ T cell antitumor activity while curbing Treg activation and endothelial toxicity. The combined not‐α and not‐β variants balance immune stimulation and prevent T cell exhaustion, offering a novel, fine‐tuned approach for ...

Eddy Current Model of Ball Lightning [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2011
Eddy Current Model of Ball Lightning Calculations show that high-energy ball lightning may consist of a ball of plasma containing a large circular electric current arising as an eddy current generated by lightning. Synthetic ball lightning might serve as a method of plasma confinement for purposes of nuclear fusion.
