EFTUD2 Regulates Cortical Morphogenesis via Modulation of Caspase‐3 and Aifm1 Splicing Pathways

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
EFTUD2, a spliceosomal GTPase linked to MFDM, regulates cortical development through apoptotic control. Conditional Eftud2 knockout in murine neural stem cells induces microcephaly and cortical disorganization, while pathogenic variants drive neuronal loss.

Bioinspired Brush Reinforced Solid Slippery Coatings for Marine Photovoltaic Protection

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Plant cuticles exhibit exceptional liquid repellency and self‐healing properties, providing a novel strategy for the multifunctional self‐cleaning materials. A plant‐inspired solid slippery surface (PI‐SSS) based on surface‐grafted poly(ionic liquid) brushes and lubricating copolymer via ion‐dipole interactions are introduced, effectively protecting ...

An Ultrafast Charge‐Driven Topological Intercalation Prelithiation Strategy for Carbon‐Silicon Composite Anodes

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In this work, an ultrafast topological intercalation prelithiation method capable of forming a uniformly 3D stable solid electrolyte interface (SEI) network on porous C/SiOx nanofiber anodes within mere 30 s is designed. The SEI significantly enhances the initial Coulombic efficiency of the anodes to 99.44%, and the corresponding batteries show a ...

Superelastic Fire‐Safe Aerogel with Hierarchical Structures via Dual Templates Aided by Microbubble Engineering

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Here, a dual‐template strategy (ice and bubble template) is used to prepare fire‐safe aerogels with hierarchical structures. When the foam expansion ratio exceeds the jamming transition value in the foam system, the aerogels demonstrate superelasticity and extreme shape adaptability.
