Paving the Way to Elucidate Hg's Role in Tumorigenesis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Tumorigenesis can result from diverse environmental carcinogens. Among them, mercury—a lifelong bioaccumulative Group 2B carcinogen—has tumorigenic potential that remains poorly understood due to confounding co‐exposures and limited organ‐specific data.

Wide‐Range Adaptive Metal Oxide for Hydrogen Sulfide Detection From Earth to Space‐Like Environments

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work presents a gas sensing platform based on Cu‐doped SnO2 microspheres that operates reliably from ambient to space‐like conditions. The sensor maintains performance across vacuum and cryogenic environments, bypassing traditional oxygen‐mediated mechanisms, utilizing direct chemisorption and interfacial charge transfer.
