Micro‐Galvanic Coupling Programs the Therapeutic Zinc Ion Window to Reconfigure Immune Cascades for Pro‐Regenerative Bone Healing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study utilized alloy micro‐galvanic coupling design to regulate the release of essential elements, thereby programming immune responses and promoting regeneration. The sacrificial anodic process of Zn‐0.8Mg reduced Zn2+ release compared to the “large cathode‐small anode” coupling of Zn‐0.8Fe.

Spin‐Selective Oxygen Evolution in Chiral Molecule‐Intercalated Layered Double Hydroxides

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This hybrid electrocatalyst utilizes chiral phenylalanine intercalation within layered double hydroxides to boost oxygen evolution. Acting as a spin filter via the chiral‐induced spin selectivity effect, the material directs electron transfer along a lower‐energy pathway.

Oral contraceptive misuse as a risk factor for cerebral venous and sinus thrombosis

Journal of Research in Medical Sciences, 2012
Background: Consumption of oral contraceptive pills (OCP) is a known risk factor for cerebral venous and sinus thrombosis (CVST) among women. We determined whether misuse of OCP could increase the risk of CVST in women.

Study on the Reaction Mechanism of RuOx and Its Enhanced Hydrogen Evolution Reaction Activity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In situ Raman spectroscopy and DFT calculations reveal that, prior to the onset of HER, the surface of RuOx undergoes reversible reduction and structural reconstruction. The resulting Ru(II)O/Ru(IV)O2 configuration is identified as the true catalytically active species.

Electrocatalytic Coupling Conversion of Methane by Dual‐Site Control in Nickel Oxyhydroxide

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Electrocatalytic coupling conversion of methane (CH4) is accomplished on the nickel oxyhydroxide (NiOOH), wherein the Ni─O dual‐site is triggered via the proper electronic interaction, synergistically promoting the C─H activation and C─C formation, enabling a selective and efficient C2 product generation route under ambient conditions. ABSTRACT Methane

Thermoelectric PANI/TeNWs Fiber Based Microsensor for Passive Temperature and Active Chemical Sensing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Continuous wet‐spinning of PANI with TeNWs yields a multifunctional microfiber. Oriented TeNWs impose chain alignment and enhance π‐electron delocalization, boosting the Seebeck coefficient to 59.9 µV K−1 for passive temperature sensing (1 K detection limit), while achieving high pH sensitivity (59.25 mV pH−1) and rapid NH3 response (0.96 s).

Enhancing All‐Solid‐State Batteries Performance Through Thickness Control and Surface Passivation of Thermally Evaporated Lithium Metal Anodes

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that thermally evaporated lithium anodes combined with LiF passivation provide a high‐performance thin anode design for next‐generation ASSBs. This approach increases the critical current density from 1.6 to 2.6 mA cm−2, enabling full cells to achieve over 500 and 300 cycles at 1.5 and 3 mA cm−2, respectively, outperforming even
