From Single Atoms to Nanoparticles: Pathways Toward Efficient and Durable Pt/TiO2 Photocatalysts

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Platinum single atoms on TiO2 nanosheets evolve into clusters and nanoparticles under ethanol photoreforming and thermal treatments. By controlling deposition and post‐treatments, particle size and location on specific facets are modulated. The study reveals how stability pathways determine efficiency, guiding the design of more durable photocatalysts.

Surface Diffusion in SnTe‐PbTe Monolayer Lateral Heterostructures

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The lateral heterostructures between 2D materials often suffer from the interdiffusion at the interfaces. Here, a surface diffusion mechanism is found to be dominating at the interfaces between semiconducting SnTe and PbTe monolayers. Atomically sharp interfaces can be achieved by suppressing this diffusion process. ABSTRACT The construction of complex

3D‐Printed Porous Hydroxyapatite Formed via Enzymatic Mineralization

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bone combines lightness, strength, and the ability to heal, inspiring new materials design. This work introduces a room‐temperature, enzyme‐mediated 3D printing method to create porous hydroxyapatite scaffolds. The process avoids energy‐intensive sintering, preserves bioactivity, and allows control over porosity and mineralization.

A Bayesian Bootstrap Approach for Dynamic Borrowing for Minimizing Mean Squared Error

For dynamic borrowing to leverage external data to augment the control arm of small RCTs, the key step is determining the amount of borrowing based on the similarity of the outcomes in the controls from the trial and the external data sources. A simple approach for this task uses the empirical Bayesian approach, which maximizes the marginal likelihood (

Equivalence between Frequency-Domain Blind Source Separation and Frequency-Domain Adaptive Beamforming for Convolutive Mixtures

EURASIP Journal on Advances in Signal Processing, 2003
Frequency-domain blind source separation (BSS) is shown to be equivalent to two sets of frequency-domain adaptive beamformers (ABFs) under certain conditions. The zero search of the off-diagonal components in the BSS update equation can be viewed as the
