Investigations of the Evolved Molecular Basis for Terpenoid Biosynthesis in Marine Sponges
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Confirming and extending a previous observation in another Bubarida sponge, genomic and functional analyses of A. cavernosa reveal that sponges retain the mevalonate pathway and employ single α‐domain T1TSs and UbiA‐type TSs for terpenoid biosynthesis. The absence of T1TSs clustering with other biosynthetic genes tentatively suggests, based on limited ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.The cathode of proton exchange membrane water electrolyzers remains a poorly understood region despite its importance for hydrogen purity and operational safety. Operando synchrotron X‐ray radiography directly visualizes liquid water behavior and uncovers a transition from continuous to pulsating transport, providing new insight into multiphase ...

Advances in Se Wide‐Bandgap Photovoltaics and TexSe1‐x SWIR Photodiodes
Advanced Science, EarlyView.In this review, fundamental properties and current challenges in Se photovoltaics (PVs) for tandem and indoor PVs and TexSe1‐x alloys for short wave infrared photodiodes are discussed. A case is made for the practicality of elemental chalcogenide optoelectronics, and a pathway toward resolving the key challenges in these respective technologies is ...

ZrCo3B2 and HfCo3B2 Electrodes Go on Stage for Oxygen Evolution Reaction
Advanced Science, EarlyView.The intermetallic compounds ZrCo3B2 and HfCo3B2 with distinctive chemical bonding features are excellent OER precursors, restructuring into OER‐active electrocatalysts delivering significantly high OER activities compared to the elemental Co, which is obvious from their lower onset potentials and increased obtained current densities.
