Nucleoside‐Based Hydrogel Platform Synergizes with Photothermal Effects for Enhanced Biofilm Eradication Against Periodontitis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A synergistic antibiofilm hydrogel platform (ZBAg@FNP) is developed by encapsulating an organic small‐molecule photothermal agent (FNP) within a silver ion‐mediated supramolecular hydrogel (ZBAg), enabling photothermal disruption of biofilm integrity and controlled Ag⁺ ion release upon irradiation.

Scalable Wheat Bran‐Algae Composites for Edible Electronics with Spray‐Coated Food‐Grade Conductive Inks

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
A fully edible wheat bran–algae substrate is fabricated through scalable mould‐compression and spray‐coating, enabling robust, food‐grade platforms for sustainable electronics. A chitosan barrier improves water resistance and ink compatibility, while activated‐carbon conductive films form uniform electrodes with Ohmic behaviour.

Beyond Imperfect Match: Silicon/Graphite Hybrid Anodes for High‐Energy–Density Lithium‐Ion Batteries

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
Silicon/graphite (Si/Gr) hybrid anodes are limited by Si's large volume change and mismatch with Gr. This review offers mechanistic insights into imperfectly matched Si/Gr hybrid anodes, elucidating heterogeneous lithiation behavior and interfacial failure pathways, and thereby informing the design of durable, high‐energy–density lithium‐ion batteries.

Effect of Imidazolium Concentration in Densely Functional Polymer Binder on Robust Electrochemical Kinetics and Cycling Performance of Lithium Iron Phosphate Cathode

Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research, EarlyView.
The improved performance of the cathodic half‐cell containing poly(oxycarbonylmethylene 1‐allyl‐3‐methylimidazolium) (PMAI) binder (PMAI/LFP) is attributed to the ion conduction properties of imidazolium‐functionalized polymer, which participates in cathode‐electrolyte interphase (CEI) formation as confirmed by X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy and ...

Development, Nutritional Evaluation, and Shelf‐Life Study of a Jackfruit‐Based Meat Analogue Enriched With Legumes and Spirulina

AgriFood: Journal of Agricultural Products for Food, EarlyView.
A jackfruit‐based meat analog enriched with legumes and spirulina was developed, optimized, and evaluated for sensory, nutritional, and shelf‐life qualities. The best formulation offered superior taste, texture, nutrient density, and maintained safety and quality for up to 60 days under frozen storage. ABSTRACT This study focuses on the development and

Intra-National Regional Heterogeneity in International Trade [PDF]

We present a two-country model with explicit incorporation of two regions in the home country and one region in a foreign country. Each region consists of two types of workers: skilled workers, freely mobile across domestic regions, are required to set ...
