AI‐Optimized Vanadium Oxide Multilayers for More Than 20‐fold Enhancement in Bolometric Performance

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
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

Lewis Pair‐Engineered CuMnOx as Cold‐Adapted Multinanozyme for Cooperative Hydrolytic and Oxidative Degradation of Raw Corn Stalk

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A Lewis pair site design strategy was established to construct Cu‐doped Mn‐based amorphous nanozymes, where Mn and oxygen vacancies generate cooperative acid‐base pairs. The resulting multinanozyme integrates glycosidase‐, oxidase‐, and cold‐adapted enzyme‐mimicking activities, enabling cooperative depolymerization of cellulose and hemicellulose ...
