Efficient light confinement to λ/10 spot sizes in optical fibre

Light confinement beyond the diffraction limit has been achieved in optical fibre tips. We successfully fabricated a gold-coated optical fibre tip with wedge-shaped apex for the efficient excitation of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs).

Nacre‐inspired layered composite with excellent mechanical support and osteogenic potential for cervical interbody cage

BMEMat, EarlyView.
The cervical interbody cage needs to take both biomechanical and biological requirements into account. Here, a new‐style degradable, multicomponent, and bioinspired nacre‐like cervical interbody cage composite, which exhibits promising mechanical‐support‐related behavior and osteogenesis‐related potential, is designed and prepared.

Ru Nanoparticle Supported by Mesoporous SiOx and Pillared Montmorillonite: Suppressing Catalyst Inhibition in Carbon Dioxide Hydrogenation

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Ru nanoparticles confined within mesoporous SiOx‐pillared montmorillonite exhibit exceptional performance for CO2 methanation. The catalyst maintains a high reaction rate even at elevated CO2 conversion while preserving high Ru mass–specific activity, overcoming typical inhibition by H2O and CO observed in conventional supported Ru catalysts.

Investigation on tunnel stability considering pipe‐roof support with transparent soil technology

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study integrates transparent soil technology, 3D reconstruction and numerical simulation to captures the full‐field deformation of shield tunnel instability. Results demonstrate that pipe‐roof support enhances stability via the “soil‐arching barrier effect,” effectively restraining failure wedge development by extending stress transfer paths ...

Exponentially‐constrained Gaussian mixture model for quantifying vertical development of water‐conducting fracture zones in lithologically stratified mining roofs

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study proposes an exponentially‐constrained Gaussian mixture model (EcGMM) to quantify vertical fracture heterogeneity in stratified roof strata. The model integrates a piecewise exponential decay term capturing global stress dissipation with Gaussian components representing localized fracture intensification at lithological interfaces.

Revealing Structure–Performance Relations in Core‐Shell Catalyst‐Based PEM Water Electrolyzer Anodes with Low Iridium Loading

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Table of Contents The TiO2@IrO2 core–shell architecture ensures high electronic conductivity even at a low iridium content of 10 wt%. The resulting catalyst layer shows significantly higher iridium utilization than a commercial reference, leading to improved PEMWE single‐cell performance at low iridium loading.
