Effects of Lotus (Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn.) on the Methane Emission in Littoral Zones of a Subtropical Lake, China

Applied Sciences, 2023
Freshwater lakes represent a potential source of methane (CH4) emission into the atmosphere. However, the CH4 emission contribution to the total emission in the littoral zones of lakes, especially emergent macrophytes (e.g., lotus), is poorly known ...

Photothermal Conversion Promotes Challenging SNAr for Facile C─N Bond Formation

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Photothermal conversion enables facile aromatic C─N bond formation via red light irradiation. A variety of inter‐ and intramolecular SNAr transformations are achieved under mild, schematically simple conditions. Additionally, a thermally promoted halogen exchange mechanism provides access to aryl bromides, chlorides, and fluorides – making this ...

Fusing Horizon Information for Visual Localization

AI
Localization is the foundation and core of autonomous driving. Current visual localization methods rely heavily on high-definition maps. However, high-definition maps are not only costly but also have poor real-time performance.

Advancing Research on Biomaterials and Biological Materials with Scanning Electron Microscopy under Environmental and Low Vacuum Conditions

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Herein, environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM) is discussed as a powerful extension of conventional SEM for life sciences. By combining high‐resolution imaging with variable pressure and humidity, ESEM allows the analysis of untreated biological materials, supports in situ monitoring of hydration‐driven changes, and advances the functional ...

A Human Kidney Tubuloid Model of Repeated Cisplatin‐Induced Cellular Senescence and Fibrosis for Drug Screening

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Replicating aging and senescence‐related pathophysiological responses in kidney organoids remains a significant challenge. Human adult renal tubular organoid, tubuloids, are successfully developed recapitulating cellular senescence that is the central pathophysiological mechanism of chronic kidney disease (CKD).
