Enhancing Maturation of Human Neuromuscular Organoids via Electrical Stimulation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A framework for on‐demand and non‐invasive exposure of human neuromuscular organoids (NMOs) to electrical stimuli is established to promote their maturation. The robustness and effectiveness of different stimulation regimes are evaluated via thorough characterization of organoid tissue structure and contraction capacity. Chronic electrical stimulation,

Living with extreme heat: perceptions and experiences

Buildings & Cities
Climate change is increasing global temperatures, leading to periods of extreme heat in temperate regions, e.g. in the UK. Cooling can mitigate the impacts of heat, with air-conditioning (AC) widely considered the most effective solution.

N‐Doping Activated Presodiation Enhances Sodium‐Ion Provision in Hard Carbon Anodes

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Introducing pyrrolic‐N sites enables efficient presodiation and stronger PF6− capture, thus pre ‐ forming a robust inorganic‐rich SEI layer in hard carbon anodes. ABSTRACT Hard carbon (HC) is considered the most promising anode material for commercial sodium‐ion batteries (SIBs), yet it still faces critical challenges such as low initial Coulombic ...
