China's Low‐Carbon Energy Transition Over the Past Two Decades: Experiences and Implications

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
China's low‐carbon energy transition features a brief decline and subsequent rebound in coal consumption, alongside the rapid expansion of renewable energy. This study develops a stage‐based analytical framework to explain this evolution from the perspectives of economic development, energy security, and environmental sustainability, revealing how ...

Agent-based pedestrian modelling [PDF]

, 2003
When the focus of interest in geographical systems is at the very fine scale, at the level of streets and buildings for example, movement becomes central to simulations of how spatial activities are used and develop.

Targeting β2‐Adrenergic Receptor Stability With Lycorine Reveals a Host‐Directed Pathway for Antiviral Defense Against Poxviruses

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Chronic stress drives autophagy‐mediated β2‐AR degradation, impairing antiviral immunity and promoting poxvirus lethality. Lycorine directly stabilizes β2‐AR to restore host defense, suppress excessive inflammation and improve survival. ABSTRACT Psychological stress is a pervasive yet poorly understood modulator of infectious disease outcomes. Here, we

A Microenvironment‐Adaptive Scaffold Rejuvenates Peripheral Nerve Regeneration During Aging Via Dual Modulation of Ferroptotic Stimuli in Schwann Cells

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
(i) Aging impairs peripheral nerve regeneration via its dual ferroptosis‐mediated pathologies in senescent schwann cells. (ii) The composite nerve conduit is a symbiosis niche integrating microenvironment‐responsive nanoparticles (Ga‐PTAs) and maxillofacial‐derived mesenchymal stem cells (Mmscs).

A Magnetic‐Driven Self‐Rotation‐Stabilized Miniature Swimming Robot

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Inspired by the stable rotational descent of seeds in nature, this study designs a magnetic‐driven self‐rotation‐stabilized miniature swimming robot (MSMSR). Based on a resonance‐driven strategy, the robot exhibits high swimming performance, offering enhanced directional swimming and improved resistance to water flow disturbances compared to existing ...

Matrix Stiffness Orchestrates Mesenchymal Stem Cell Lineage Commitment Toward Osteogenesis and Adipogenesis Through the PIEZO1/SP1/STC2 Axis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Matrix stiffness directs mesenchymal stem cell lineage commitment through PIEZO1‐dependent activation of the SP1/STC2 pathway. Stiff matrices favor osteogenesis and suppress adipogenesis, whereas the loss of PIEZO1 function impairs early bone formation. STC2 retains lineage‐regulatory activity even when PIEZO1 is inactive.

Bridging Horizontal to Vertical Radiative Cooling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Radiative cooling materials are mature but only work facing the sky, confining them to rooftops. Instead of developing new ones, this system bridges existing horizontal coolers to vertical windows using blades outside the glass. On an occupied urban building, windows stay up to 1.4°C below air temperature while preserving daylight, outward views, and ...

Supercapacitor Safety: Overcharge‐Induced Failure Mechanisms in Electrochemical Double‐Layer Capacitors

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Time‐resolved synchrotron radiography reveals the internal evolution of electrochemical double‐layer capacitors under abusive overcharge. EDLCs are shown to follow a thermally driven failure pathway involving electrolyte decomposition, gas generation, and structural collapse, distinct from chemically driven thermal runaway effects of Lithium‐ion ...
