Lattice Genome Framework for Regionally Tailored Component‐Level Multi‐Objective Design in Additive Manufacturing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A Lattice Genome framework links geometric and process “genes” to lattice “phenotypes” via correction‐calibrated high‐throughput simulations and a growing performance database. Genome‐driven retrieval and recombination of unit cells enables component‐level, regionally tailored multi‐objective design: stress fields are programmed under constant relative

Optimal Grazing Exclusion Duration to Enhance Soil Carbon Sequestration in Degraded Grasslands

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Across China, grazing exclusion reaches the national mean soil organic carbon recovery benchmark sooner in high‐MAP regions (> 500 mm), but recovery is much slower where MAP < 300 mm. Scaling this strategy to 70% of China's degraded grasslands would sequester about 1.52 Pg of soil carbon over 10 years—roughly 17% of annual global fossil‐fuel emissions.

Ultrasoft Yet Tough Multifunctional Organohydrogels Enabled by Molecular Chain Lubrication Strategy for Self‐Powered Wearable Electronics

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An ultrasoft yet tough organohydrogel (AQGL) with 5800% stretchability and 14.3 kPa modulus is developed via a novel molecular chain lubrication strategy. It features optical transparency, drying/freezing (−40°C) tolerance, antibacterial activity, conductivity, self‐healing, and adhesiveness.

National Policies and the Limits of International Integration [PDF]

In spite of the rapid growth of merchandise trade since the end of World War II, the world economy is far from integrated. Services trade, capital flows, population migration, and price differences demonstrate far more scope for international economic ...

Simultaneously Achieving Efficient Narrow‐Band Emission and Large Emission Dissymmetry Factor in an Achiral Hybrid Indium Chloride

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work demonstrates that efficient CPL, characterized by high PLQY, large glum, and narrow‐band emission, can be achieved simultaneously in a ligand‐modified hybrid indium chloride crystallizing in an achiral space group. ABSTRACT To achieve high contrast in three‐dimensional display, circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) materials should ...

Boosting Fast‐Charging Performance of Ni‐Rich NCM9055 Cathodes with Nb2O5 Dual Functional Modification

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A dual‐functional Nb2O5 modulation strategy is reported to overcome kinetic limitations in Ni‐rich cathodes. The formation of LiNbO3 phase at the grain boundary of the polycrystalline NCM9055 cathode preserves a radially aligned microstructure and establishes fast lithium‐ion pathways.
