Generalized Mechanism Model for Ecosystem Hysteresis
A simplified model examines ecosystem transitions into alternative states after disturbances by leveraging positive and negative feedbacks. It identifies critical tipping points and quantifies hysteresis. Tests conducted on lakes, grasslands, and pitcher‐plant leaves align closely with empirical data and enable the prediction of recovery trajectories ...

Transient Antiskyrmion‐Mediated Topological Transitions in Isotropic Magnets
A transient antiskyrmion‐mediated pathway that drives repeated stripe‐to‐skyrmion transitions is revealed, producing a net increase in topological charge in isotropic Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction films. Experiments and simulations identify the antiskyrmion as a metastable excitation, enabling stochastic bitstream generation for probabilistic ...

This study presents a hybrid quantum‐classical framework for accurate prediction of protein structures on utility‐level quantum processors. We evaluate the practical application of the Variational Quantum Eigen‐solver (VQE) in protein structure prediction and demonstrate its superiority over state‐of‐the‐art deep learning methods in molecular docking ...

Synaptic vesicle (SV) motion and exocytosis dynamics in the presynaptic terminals of live neurons are intimately linked to synaptic transmission during neuronal activity. In this work, it is revealed that, during electrical stimulation, SVs located farther from their fusion sites exhibit greater straightness and experience larger mean forces directed ...

AI‐Optimized Vanadium Oxide Multilayers for More Than 20‐fold Enhancement in Bolometric Performance
Machine‐learning‐optimized WxV1‐xOy multilayer thin films with graded doping achieve a high TCR (7.3 % K−1), reduced hysteresis, and low noise under CMOS‐compatible growth conditions. This approach overcomes the long‐standing trade‐off in microbolometers between linear response and performance, offering a universal bolometric parameter greatly enhanced

A thin topological insulator (Bi2Te3) inserted between two single magnetic septuple layers of MnBi2Te4 is shown to convert the intrinsic antiferromagnetic interlayer coupling into robust ferromagnetism. As the Bi2Te3 spacer thickness increases from 1 to 4 quintuple layers, the weakening coercivity, Curie temperature, and interlayer coupling reveal ...

Miniature Robotic Swimmer with Precise 2D Motion Control via Acoustic Vortex‐Induced Propulsion
In this work, a miniature robotic swimmer achieves precise 2D motion using sound waves with customized 3D‐printed lenses. Localized acoustic vortices drive both translation and rotation of the swimmer without mechanical parts. This contactless approach offers a novel route to controlled micro‐scale movement, with promising applications in biomedical ...

Photothermal Transport for Guiding Nanoparticles Through the Vitreous Humor
Nanosecond laser irradiation of the clinically approved dye indocyanine green (ICG) enables light‐guided nanoparticle transport within the vitreous humor. The combined use of ICG and pulsed laser illumination induces localized convection and thermophoresis, directing particles toward illuminated regions.
